# BMAD Method Expansion Packs
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Expansion packs are the future of BMAD-METHOD - specialized, standalone agent teams that extend the framework far beyond traditional software development. Each expansion pack is a complete, self-contained ecosystem of agents, templates, tasks, and knowledge bases designed for specific domains, industries, or use cases.
|
|
|
|
## Vision: Beyond Software Development
|
|
|
|
While the core BMAD-METHOD focuses on software development workflows, expansion packs unlock the full potential of agentic frameworks by providing specialized capabilities for:
|
|
|
|
### Industry-Specific Applications
|
|
- **Medical & Healthcare**: Clinical workflow optimization, patient care coordination, medical research
|
|
- **Entertainment & Media**: Content creation, production workflows, creative project management
|
|
- **Finance & Banking**: Risk analysis, compliance workflows, financial planning
|
|
- **Legal Services**: Document review, case management, regulatory compliance
|
|
- **Education**: Curriculum development, assessment design, learning experience optimization
|
|
|
|
### Technical Specializations
|
|
- **Specific Tech Stacks**: Django+React, MEAN stack, Serverless AWS, etc.
|
|
- **DevOps & Infrastructure**: Kubernetes orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, cloud architecture
|
|
- **Data Engineering**: ETL pipelines, ML model deployment, data governance
|
|
- **Cybersecurity**: Threat analysis, security auditing, incident response
|
|
|
|
### Creative & Interactive Applications
|
|
- **Interactive Role-Playing**: Campaign management, character development, narrative design
|
|
- **Game Development**: Level design, character creation, game mechanics
|
|
- **Content Creation**: Video production, podcast workflows, social media management
|
|
- **Design Systems**: Brand management, UI/UX workflows, design token systems
|
|
|
|
## Expansion Pack Architecture
|
|
|
|
Each expansion pack is a complete, standalone system that follows BMAD conventions:

└── team-config.yml # Team bundle configuration
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Key Principles
|
|
|
|
### 1. Standalone Independence
|
|
- Each expansion pack works independently of the core BMAD system
|
|
- Can be used without any software development context
|
|
- Complete with its own agents, knowledge, and workflows
|
|
|
|
### 2. Domain Expertise
|
|
- Deep specialization in specific industries or use cases
|
|
- Expert-level knowledge embedded in agents and templates
|
|
- Industry-specific terminology, processes, and best practices
|
|
|
|
### 3. Consistent Framework
|
|
- Follows BMAD architectural patterns and conventions
|
|
- Compatible with existing tooling and build systems
|
|
- Maintains quality and structure standards
|
|
|
|
### 4. Flexible Application
|
|
- Some packs may be technical, others completely non-technical
|
|
- Scalable from single-agent specialists to complex multi-agent teams
|
|
- Adaptable to different user environments (web UI, IDE, etc.)
|
|
|
|
