* 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>

| Welcome to the BMad Method |
The BMad Method (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI Driven Development) is an AI-driven development framework that helps you build software faster and smarter. It provides specialized AI agents, guided workflows, and intelligent planning that adapts to your project's complexity—whether you're fixing a bug or building an enterprise platform.
If you're comfortable working with AI coding assistants like Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot, you're ready to get started.
New Here? Start with a Tutorial
The fastest way to understand BMad is to try it. Choose a tutorial to walk through your first project in about 10 minutes.
- Get Started with BMad — Latest features, still in active development
- Workflow Guide — A simple visual overview of the various BMad tracks that get you going quickly.

How to Use These Docs
These docs are organized into four sections based on what you're trying to do:
| Section | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Tutorials | Learning-oriented. Step-by-step guides that walk you through building something. Start here if you're new. |
| How-To Guides | Task-oriented. Practical guides for solving specific problems. "How do I customize an agent?" lives here. |
| Explanation | Understanding-oriented. Deep dives into concepts and architecture. Read when you want to know why. |
| Reference | Information-oriented. Technical specifications for agents, workflows, and configuration. |
What You'll Need
BMad works with any AI coding assistant that supports custom system prompts or project context. Popular options include:
- Claude Code — Anthropic's CLI tool (recommended)
- Cursor — AI-first code editor
- Windsurf — Codeium's AI IDE
- Roo Code — VS Code extension
You should be comfortable with basic software development concepts like version control, project structure, and agile workflows. No prior experience with BMad-style agent systems is required—that's what these docs are for.
