* Add interactive workflow guide page Replace confusing static SVG workflow diagram with an interactive guide at /workflow-guide. Users select their track (Quick Flow, BMad Method, Enterprise) and see relevant phases, agents, commands, and outputs. Update link validator to recognize custom page routes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Add visual dev loop indicator to workflow guide Wrap create-story, dev-story, and code-review in a dashed border group with a "Repeat for each story" label to clearly communicate the iterative development cycle in Phase 4. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Simplify workflow guide to vertical slash command flow Replace expandable phase cards with a clean vertical flow showing slash commands as the primary element, with down arrows between steps, agent badges, required/optional status, and concise descriptions. Add prominent /bmad-help callout and note that agent loading is optional. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Simplify README Quick Start with numbered command flows Replace wordy paragraphs and track table with two clear numbered paths (Quick Flow: 3 commands, BMad Method: 6 steps) and a prominent /bmad-help callout as the primary guidance mechanism. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Add Party Mode to README, /bmad-help to getting-started Add Party Mode bullet to Why BMad section, note about agent-based usage as an alternative to direct workflows, and a /bmad-help mention in the getting-started tutorial after installation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Add link to getting-started tutorial in README Quick Start Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Add workflow guide link to docs index New Here section Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Update README tagline and format modules table Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Fix workflow-guide links to use relative paths The /workflow-guide absolute path breaks with non-root base paths. Use relative paths since workflow-guide is a custom Astro page outside the docs collection. Docs-to-docs links keep the /docs/ pattern which the rehype plugin handles. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Revert workflow-guide links to absolute paths Use /workflow-guide to match the /docs/ convention used throughout. Works correctly on the production site where base path is /. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Breakthrough Method of Agile AI Driven Development — An AI-driven agile development framework with 21 specialized agents, 50+ guided workflows, and scale-adaptive intelligence that adjusts from bug fixes to enterprise systems.
100% free and open source. No paywalls. No gated content. No gated Discord. We believe in empowering everyone, not just those who can pay.
Why BMad?
Traditional AI tools do the thinking for you, producing average results. BMad agents act as expert collaborators who guide you through structured workflows to bring out your best thinking.
- Scale-Adaptive: Automatically adjusts planning depth based on project complexity (Level 0-4)
- Structured Workflows: Grounded in agile best practices across analysis, planning, architecture, and implementation
- Specialized Agents: 12+ domain experts (PM, Architect, Developer, UX, Scrum Master, and more)
- Party Mode: Bring multiple agent personas into one session to plan, troubleshoot, or discuss your project collaboratively
- Complete Lifecycle: From brainstorming to deployment, with just-in-time documentation
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Node.js v20+
npx bmad-method@alpha install
Follow the installer prompts, then open your AI IDE (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) in the project folder.
Not sure what to do? Run
/bmad-help— it tells you exactly what's next and what's optional. You can also ask it questions like/bmad-help How should I build a web app for XYZ?
The workflows below show the fastest path to working code. You can also load agents directly for a more structured process, extensive planning, or to learn about agile development practices — the agents guide you with menus, explanations, and elicitation at each step.
Simple Path (Quick Flow)
Bug fixes, small features, clear scope — 3 commands:
/quick-spec— analyzes your codebase and produces a tech-spec with stories/dev-story— implements each story/code-review— validates quality
Full Planning Path (BMad Method)
Products, platforms, complex features — structured planning then build:
/product-brief— define problem, users, and MVP scope/create-prd— full requirements with personas, metrics, and risks/create-architecture— technical decisions and system design/create-epics-and-stories— break work into prioritized stories/sprint-planning— initialize sprint tracking- Repeat per story:
/create-story→/dev-story→/code-review
Every step tells you what's next. Optional phases (brainstorming, research, UX design) are available when you need them — ask /bmad-help anytime. For a detailed walkthrough, see the Getting Started Tutorial.
