refactor(skills): extract hub help.md and ship TOML manifests
Move the duplicated BMM routing guide into the bmad hub skill and replace every module-manifest.md with a two-key TOML file parsed by stdlib tomllib. Drop PyYAML from setup.py and from test:npx-skills.

# BMad Method (bmm)
|
||||
|
||||
This is a cohesive collection of skills for software development, helping the
|
||||
user turn an intent of any size into working software. Route the user to the
|
||||
smallest path that safely fits the work; never march them through every skill.
|
||||
|
||||
## The skills and their places in the flow
|
||||
|
||||
Shaping and planning:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-spec` — condenses any input into a short spec, and can break a spec
|
||||
into an ordered story list. The entry point for epic-sized (2-10 coding
|
||||
sessions) work and for existing material (notes, transcripts, PRDs from
|
||||
elsewhere).
|
||||
- `bmad-product-brief` and `bmad-prfaq` — two alternative ways to shape a
|
||||
product concept; use one, never both.
|
||||
- `bmad-prd` — turns a shaped concept into product requirements.
|
||||
- `bmad-ux` — records user experience decisions; belongs after the PRD when a
|
||||
UI is a significant part of the work.
|
||||
- `bmad-architecture` — records the how-to-build decisions that keep
|
||||
separately built parts consistent; comes before epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-create-epics-and-stories` — breaks the PRD and architecture into
|
||||
epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-sprint-planning` — checks the planning is complete enough to
|
||||
implement and generates the sprint status file; its status action
|
||||
summarizes sprint state at any time.
|
||||
- `bmad-project-context` — sets up or refreshes the repo's agent
|
||||
instructions; useful any time, in any path.
|
||||
|
||||
Implementation and quality:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-build` — one session-sized unit of delivery: clarifies the intent,
|
||||
plans as needed, implements, reviews, and presents. The implementation unit
|
||||
every path shares.
|
||||
- `bmad-build-auto` — one unattended Build unit; the worker an orchestrated
|
||||
loop dispatches. Do not choose it for attended work.
|
||||
- `bmad-code-review` — optional extra review of any change, on top of
|
||||
Build's built-in review.
|
||||
- `bmad-checkpoint-preview` — guided human walkthrough of a change.
|
||||
- `bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` — generates API and end-to-end tests for
|
||||
implemented code.
|
||||
- `bmad-retrospective` — judges a completed epic as a whole against its spec.
|
||||
- `bmad-correct-course` — assesses a significant midstream change and
|
||||
proposes where to resume.
|
||||
|
||||
Agent personas (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-agent-analyst`, `bmad-agent-architect`, `bmad-agent-dev`,
|
||||
`bmad-agent-pm`, `bmad-agent-ux-designer` — conversations with a single
|
||||
named perspective. No path above needs them; the flow skills already do
|
||||
this work. Offer one only when the user asks to talk to a specific role
|
||||
or wants one perspective's take without running a full skill.
|
||||
|
||||
A project environment may have a subset of these skills supporting the user's
|
||||
preferred workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use BMad
|
||||
|
||||
Ask whether one implementation session can reasonably understand, implement,
|
||||
review, and finish the change. Scope is only one signal: high risk, unclear
|
||||
requirements, architectural reach, or coordination between people pushes work
|
||||
up a tier even when it is small.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Trivial.** The edit is obvious and low-risk: make it directly and use no
|
||||
BMad skill at all — unless the user asks for BMad, or the change
|
||||
would still benefit from explicit planning and review.
|
||||
- **One session.** One coherent intent that fits an implementation session:
|
||||
hand it straight to `bmad-build`. No planning skill needs to run first.
|
||||
- **Epic-sized.** One coherent outcome that needs several sessions: run
|
||||
`bmad-spec` to pin down the what, tell it to create architecture and/or UX
|
||||
companion files if the situation calls for it, have it break the spec into
|
||||
stories, then run `bmad-build` or `bmad-build-auto` once per story. Risky
|
||||
and foundational stories deserve human attention, therefore `bmad-build`;
|
||||
once the decisions and patterns are stable, an orchestrated loop
|
||||
dispatching `bmad-build-auto` sessions may also be used. Finish with
|
||||
`bmad-retrospective` against the spec.
|
||||
- **Project-sized.** 10-100 coding sessions: take the full planning route —
|
||||
`bmad-product-brief` or `bmad-prfaq`, then `bmad-prd`, then `bmad-ux` when
|
||||
the user experience matters, then `bmad-architecture`,
|
||||
`bmad-create-epics-and-stories`, and `bmad-sprint-planning`. Each epic then
|
||||
runs like epic-sized work above, but without running spec for every epic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Answering "what's next?"
|
||||
|
||||
Read the state before recommending: which planning artifacts exist, and what
|
||||
the codebase, git history, and/or the user says is done. Caution: presence of
|
||||
a story file with `status: done` or another planning/tracking artifact like
|
||||
this does not prove completion. Then:
|
||||
|
||||
- Mid-path, recommend the next unfinished stage of the chosen path, not a
|
||||
restart.
|
||||
- When you detect ongoing sprint tracking, but sprint state is unclear, use
|
||||
`bmad-sprint-planning`'s status action.
|
||||
- After a Build: `bmad-code-review` is an optional extra gate; offer
|
||||
`bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` when automated coverage is wanted and
|
||||
`bmad-checkpoint-preview` when a human wants a walkthrough. Recommend
|
||||
repeated `bmad-code-review` after material fixes until remaining findings
|
||||
no longer affect acceptance. Keep in mind that both build skills have a
|
||||
review step, and each `bmad-code-review` run can take up to half an hour or
|
||||
more — it pays for itself when it catches real defects, not when it
|
||||
produces a long tail of minor issues. More than two iterations of agentic
|
||||
review on the same change is often a symptom of problems outside the
|
||||
change — bad planning, a messy codebase, etc.
|
||||
- When an epic completes, offer `bmad-retrospective`. When it — or anything
|
||||
midstream — exposes a significant planning change, route through
|
||||
`bmad-correct-course`, then resume at the earliest affected skill once the
|
||||
proposal is approved; do not replay unaffected work.
|
||||
|
||||
A run is complete when the intent is satisfied, its chosen checks pass, and
|
||||
no chosen review leaves material unresolved findings — not when every skill
|
||||
has been traversed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where things land

Durable specs and their story lists live under `{output_folder}/specs`;

|

review on the same change is often a symptom of problems outside the
|

change — bad planning, a messy codebase, etc.

- When an epic completes, offer `bmad-retrospective`. When it — or anything
|

midstream — exposes a significant planning change, route through

`bmad-correct-course`, then resume at the earliest affected skill once the

proposal is approved; do not replay unaffected work.
|

|

A run is complete when the intent is satisfied, its chosen checks pass, and

no chosen review leaves material unresolved findings — not when every skill

# BMad Method (bmm)
|
||||
|
||||
This is a cohesive collection of skills for software development, helping the
|
||||
user turn an intent of any size into working software. Route the user to the
|
||||
smallest path that safely fits the work; never march them through every skill.
|
||||
|
||||
## The skills and their places in the flow
|
||||
|
||||
Shaping and planning:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-spec` — condenses any input into a short spec, and can break a spec
|
||||
into an ordered story list. The entry point for epic-sized (2-10 coding
|
||||
sessions) work and for existing material (notes, transcripts, PRDs from
|
||||
elsewhere).
|
||||
- `bmad-product-brief` and `bmad-prfaq` — two alternative ways to shape a
|
||||
product concept; use one, never both.
|
||||
- `bmad-prd` — turns a shaped concept into product requirements.
|
||||
- `bmad-ux` — records user experience decisions; belongs after the PRD when a
|
||||
UI is a significant part of the work.
|
||||
- `bmad-architecture` — records the how-to-build decisions that keep
|
||||
separately built parts consistent; comes before epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-create-epics-and-stories` — breaks the PRD and architecture into
|
||||
epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-sprint-planning` — checks the planning is complete enough to
|
||||
implement and generates the sprint status file; its status action
|
||||
summarizes sprint state at any time.
|
||||
- `bmad-project-context` — sets up or refreshes the repo's agent
|
||||
instructions; useful any time, in any path.
|
||||
|
||||
Implementation and quality:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-build` — one session-sized unit of delivery: clarifies the intent,
|
||||
plans as needed, implements, reviews, and presents. The implementation unit
|
||||
every path shares.
|
||||
- `bmad-build-auto` — one unattended Build unit; the worker an orchestrated
|
||||
loop dispatches. Do not choose it for attended work.
|
||||
- `bmad-code-review` — optional extra review of any change, on top of
|
||||
Build's built-in review.
|
||||
- `bmad-checkpoint-preview` — guided human walkthrough of a change.
|
||||
- `bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` — generates API and end-to-end tests for
|
||||
implemented code.
|
||||
- `bmad-retrospective` — judges a completed epic as a whole against its spec.
|
||||
- `bmad-correct-course` — assesses a significant midstream change and
|
||||
proposes where to resume.
|
||||
|
||||
Agent personas (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-agent-analyst`, `bmad-agent-architect`, `bmad-agent-dev`,
|
||||
`bmad-agent-pm`, `bmad-agent-ux-designer` — conversations with a single
|
||||
named perspective. No path above needs them; the flow skills already do
|
||||
this work. Offer one only when the user asks to talk to a specific role
|
||||
or wants one perspective's take without running a full skill.
|
||||
|
||||
A project environment may have a subset of these skills supporting the user's
|
||||
preferred workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use BMad
|
||||
|
||||
Ask whether one implementation session can reasonably understand, implement,
|
||||
review, and finish the change. Scope is only one signal: high risk, unclear
|
||||
requirements, architectural reach, or coordination between people pushes work
|
||||
up a tier even when it is small.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Trivial.** The edit is obvious and low-risk: make it directly and use no
|
||||
BMad skill at all — unless the user asks for BMad, or the change
|
||||
would still benefit from explicit planning and review.
|
||||
- **One session.** One coherent intent that fits an implementation session:
|
||||
hand it straight to `bmad-build`. No planning skill needs to run first.
|
||||
- **Epic-sized.** One coherent outcome that needs several sessions: run
|
||||
`bmad-spec` to pin down the what, tell it to create architecture and/or UX
|
||||
companion files if the situation calls for it, have it break the spec into
|
||||
stories, then run `bmad-build` or `bmad-build-auto` once per story. Risky
|
||||
and foundational stories deserve human attention, therefore `bmad-build`;
|
||||
once the decisions and patterns are stable, an orchestrated loop
|
||||
dispatching `bmad-build-auto` sessions may also be used. Finish with
|
||||
`bmad-retrospective` against the spec.
|
||||
- **Project-sized.** 10-100 coding sessions: take the full planning route —
|
||||
`bmad-product-brief` or `bmad-prfaq`, then `bmad-prd`, then `bmad-ux` when
|
||||
the user experience matters, then `bmad-architecture`,
|
||||
`bmad-create-epics-and-stories`, and `bmad-sprint-planning`. Each epic then
|
||||
runs like epic-sized work above, but without running spec for every epic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Answering "what's next?"
|
||||
|
||||
Read the state before recommending: which planning artifacts exist, and what
|
||||
the codebase, git history, and/or the user says is done. Caution: presence of
|
||||
a story file with `status: done` or another planning/tracking artifact like
|
||||
this does not prove completion. Then:
|
||||
|
||||
- Mid-path, recommend the next unfinished stage of the chosen path, not a
|
||||
restart.
|
||||
- When you detect ongoing sprint tracking, but sprint state is unclear, use
|
||||
`bmad-sprint-planning`'s status action.
|
||||
- After a Build: `bmad-code-review` is an optional extra gate; offer
|
||||
`bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` when automated coverage is wanted and
|
||||
`bmad-checkpoint-preview` when a human wants a walkthrough. Recommend
|
||||
repeated `bmad-code-review` after material fixes until remaining findings
|
||||
no longer affect acceptance. Keep in mind that both build skills have a
|
||||
review step, and each `bmad-code-review` run can take up to half an hour or
|
||||
more — it pays for itself when it catches real defects, not when it
|
||||
produces a long tail of minor issues. More than two iterations of agentic
|
||||
review on the same change is often a symptom of problems outside the
|
||||

|
||||

# BMad Method (bmm)
|
||||
|
||||
This is a cohesive collection of skills for software development, helping the
|
||||
user turn an intent of any size into working software. Route the user to the
|
||||
smallest path that safely fits the work; never march them through every skill.
|
||||
|
||||
## The skills and their places in the flow
|
||||
|
||||
Shaping and planning:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-spec` — condenses any input into a short spec, and can break a spec
|
||||
into an ordered story list. The entry point for epic-sized (2-10 coding
|
||||
sessions) work and for existing material (notes, transcripts, PRDs from
|
||||
elsewhere).
|
||||
- `bmad-product-brief` and `bmad-prfaq` — two alternative ways to shape a
|
||||
product concept; use one, never both.
|
||||
- `bmad-prd` — turns a shaped concept into product requirements.
|
||||
- `bmad-ux` — records user experience decisions; belongs after the PRD when a
|
||||
UI is a significant part of the work.
|
||||
- `bmad-architecture` — records the how-to-build decisions that keep
|
||||
separately built parts consistent; comes before epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-create-epics-and-stories` — breaks the PRD and architecture into
|
||||
epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-sprint-planning` — checks the planning is complete enough to
|
||||
implement and generates the sprint status file; its status action
|
||||
summarizes sprint state at any time.
|
||||
- `bmad-project-context` — sets up or refreshes the repo's agent
|
||||
instructions; useful any time, in any path.
|
||||
|
||||
Implementation and quality:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-build` — one session-sized unit of delivery: clarifies the intent,
|
||||
plans as needed, implements, reviews, and presents. The implementation unit
|
||||
every path shares.
|
||||
- `bmad-build-auto` — one unattended Build unit; the worker an orchestrated
|
||||
loop dispatches. Do not choose it for attended work.
|
||||
- `bmad-code-review` — optional extra review of any change, on top of
|
||||
Build's built-in review.
|
||||
- `bmad-checkpoint-preview` — guided human walkthrough of a change.
|
||||
- `bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` — generates API and end-to-end tests for
|
||||
implemented code.
|
||||
- `bmad-retrospective` — judges a completed epic as a whole against its spec.
|
||||
- `bmad-correct-course` — assesses a significant midstream change and
|
||||
proposes where to resume.
|
||||
|
||||
Agent personas (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-agent-analyst`, `bmad-agent-architect`, `bmad-agent-dev`,
|
||||
`bmad-agent-pm`, `bmad-agent-ux-designer` — conversations with a single
|
||||
named perspective. No path above needs them; the flow skills already do
|
||||
this work. Offer one only when the user asks to talk to a specific role
|
||||
or wants one perspective's take without running a full skill.
|
||||
|
||||
A project environment may have a subset of these skills supporting the user's
|
||||
preferred workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use BMad
|
||||
|
||||
Ask whether one implementation session can reasonably understand, implement,
|
||||
review, and finish the change. Scope is only one signal: high risk, unclear
|
||||
requirements, architectural reach, or coordination between people pushes work
|
||||
up a tier even when it is small.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Trivial.** The edit is obvious and low-risk: make it directly and use no
|
||||
BMad skill at all — unless the user asks for BMad, or the change
|
||||
would still benefit from explicit planning and review.
|
||||
- **One session.** One coherent intent that fits an implementation session:
|
||||
hand it straight to `bmad-build`. No planning skill needs to run first.
|
||||
- **Epic-sized.** One coherent outcome that needs several sessions: run
|
||||
`bmad-spec` to pin down the what, tell it to create architecture and/or UX
|
||||
companion files if the situation calls for it, have it break the spec into
|
||||
stories, then run `bmad-build` or `bmad-build-auto` once per story. Risky
|
||||
and foundational stories deserve human attention, therefore `bmad-build`;
|
||||
once the decisions and patterns are stable, an orchestrated loop
|
||||
dispatching `bmad-build-auto` sessions may also be used. Finish with
|
||||
`bmad-retrospective` against the spec.
|
||||
- **Project-sized.** 10-100 coding sessions: take the full planning route —
|
||||
`bmad-product-brief` or `bmad-prfaq`, then `bmad-prd`, then `bmad-ux` when
|
||||
the user experience matters, then `bmad-architecture`,
|
||||
`bmad-create-epics-and-stories`, and `bmad-sprint-planning`. Each epic then
|
||||
runs like epic-sized work above, but without running spec for every epic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Answering "what's next?"
|
||||
|
||||
Read the state before recommending: which planning artifacts exist, and what
|
||||
the codebase, git history, and/or the user says is done. Caution: presence of
|
||||
a story file with `status: done` or another planning/tracking artifact like
|
||||
this does not prove completion. Then:
|
||||
|
||||
- Mid-path, recommend the next unfinished stage of the chosen path, not a
|
||||
restart.
|
||||
- When you detect ongoing sprint tracking, but sprint state is unclear, use
|
||||
`bmad-sprint-planning`'s status action.
|
||||
- After a Build: `bmad-code-review` is an optional extra gate; offer
|
||||
`bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` when automated coverage is wanted and
|
||||
`bmad-checkpoint-preview` when a human wants a walkthrough. Recommend
|
||||
repeated `bmad-code-review` after material fixes until remaining findings
|
||||
no longer affect acceptance. Keep in mind that both build skills have a
|
||||
review step, and each `bmad-code-review` run can take up to half an hour or
|
||||
more — it pays for itself when it catches real defects, not when it
|
||||
produces a long tail of minor issues. More than two iterations of agentic
|
||||
review on the same change is often a symptom of problems outside the
|
||||
change — bad planning, a messy codebase, etc.
|
||||
- When an epic completes, offer `bmad-retrospective`. When it — or anything
|
||||
midstream — exposes a significant planning change, route through
|
||||
`bmad-correct-course`, then resume at the earliest affected skill once the
|
||||
proposal is approved; do not replay unaffected work.
|
||||
|
||||
A run is complete when the intent is satisfied, its chosen checks pass, and
|
||||
no chosen review leaves material unresolved findings — not when every skill
|
||||
has been traversed.
|
||||

# BMad Method (bmm)
|
||||
|
||||
This is a cohesive collection of skills for software development, helping the
|
||||
user turn an intent of any size into working software. Route the user to the
|
||||
smallest path that safely fits the work; never march them through every skill.
|
||||
|
||||
## The skills and their places in the flow
|
||||
|
||||
Shaping and planning:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-spec` — condenses any input into a short spec, and can break a spec
|
||||
into an ordered story list. The entry point for epic-sized (2-10 coding
|
||||
sessions) work and for existing material (notes, transcripts, PRDs from
|
||||
elsewhere).
|
||||
- `bmad-product-brief` and `bmad-prfaq` — two alternative ways to shape a
|
||||
product concept; use one, never both.
|
||||
- `bmad-prd` — turns a shaped concept into product requirements.
|
||||
- `bmad-ux` — records user experience decisions; belongs after the PRD when a
|
||||
UI is a significant part of the work.
|
||||
- `bmad-architecture` — records the how-to-build decisions that keep
|
||||
separately built parts consistent; comes before epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-create-epics-and-stories` — breaks the PRD and architecture into
|
||||
epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-sprint-planning` — checks the planning is complete enough to
|
||||
implement and generates the sprint status file; its status action
|
||||
summarizes sprint state at any time.
|
||||
- `bmad-project-context` — sets up or refreshes the repo's agent
|
||||
instructions; useful any time, in any path.
|
||||
|
||||
Implementation and quality:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-build` — one session-sized unit of delivery: clarifies the intent,
|
||||
plans as needed, implements, reviews, and presents. The implementation unit
|
||||
every path shares.
|
||||
- `bmad-build-auto` — one unattended Build unit; the worker an orchestrated
|
||||
loop dispatches. Do not choose it for attended work.
|
||||
- `bmad-code-review` — optional extra review of any change, on top of
|
||||
Build's built-in review.
|
||||
- `bmad-checkpoint-preview` — guided human walkthrough of a change.
|
||||
- `bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` — generates API and end-to-end tests for
|
||||
implemented code.
|
||||
- `bmad-retrospective` — judges a completed epic as a whole against its spec.
|
||||
- `bmad-correct-course` — assesses a significant midstream change and
|
||||
proposes where to resume.
|
||||
|
||||
Agent personas (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-agent-analyst`, `bmad-agent-architect`, `bmad-agent-dev`,
|
||||
`bmad-agent-pm`, `bmad-agent-ux-designer` — conversations with a single
|
||||
named perspective. No path above needs them; the flow skills already do
|
||||
this work. Offer one only when the user asks to talk to a specific role
|
||||
or wants one perspective's take without running a full skill.
|
||||
|
||||
A project environment may have a subset of these skills supporting the user's
|
||||
preferred workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use BMad
|
||||
|
||||
Ask whether one implementation session can reasonably understand, implement,
|
||||
review, and finish the change. Scope is only one signal: high risk, unclear
|
||||
requirements, architectural reach, or coordination between people pushes work
|
||||
up a tier even when it is small.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Trivial.** The edit is obvious and low-risk: make it directly and use no
|
||||
BMad skill at all — unless the user asks for BMad, or the change
|
||||
would still benefit from explicit planning and review.
|
||||
- **One session.** One coherent intent that fits an implementation session:
|
||||
hand it straight to `bmad-build`. No planning skill needs to run first.
|
||||
- **Epic-sized.** One coherent outcome that needs several sessions: run
|
||||
`bmad-spec` to pin down the what, tell it to create architecture and/or UX
|
||||
companion files if the situation calls for it, have it break the spec into
|
||||
stories, then run `bmad-build` or `bmad-build-auto` once per story. Risky
|
||||
and foundational stories deserve human attention, therefore `bmad-build`;
|
||||
once the decisions and patterns are stable, an orchestrated loop
|
||||
dispatching `bmad-build-auto` sessions may also be used. Finish with
|
||||
`bmad-retrospective` against the spec.
|
||||
- **Project-sized.** 10-100 coding sessions: take the full planning route —
|
||||
`bmad-product-brief` or `bmad-prfaq`, then `bmad-prd`, then `bmad-ux` when
|
||||
the user experience matters, then `bmad-architecture`,
|
||||
`bmad-create-epics-and-stories`, and `bmad-sprint-planning`. Each epic then
|
||||
runs like epic-sized work above, but without running spec for every epic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Answering "what's next?"
|
||||
|
||||
Read the state before recommending: which planning artifacts exist, and what
|
||||
the codebase, git history, and/or the user says is done. Caution: presence of
|
||||
a story file with `status: done` or another planning/tracking artifact like
|
||||
this does not prove completion. Then:
|
||||
|
||||
- Mid-path, recommend the next unfinished stage of the chosen path, not a
|
||||
restart.
|
||||
- When you detect ongoing sprint tracking, but sprint state is unclear, use
|
||||
`bmad-sprint-planning`'s status action.
|
||||
- After a Build: `bmad-code-review` is an optional extra gate; offer
|
||||
`bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` when automated coverage is wanted and
|
||||
`bmad-checkpoint-preview` when a human wants a walkthrough. Recommend
|
||||
repeated `bmad-code-review` after material fixes until remaining findings
|
||||
no longer affect acceptance. Keep in mind that both build skills have a
|
||||
review step, and each `bmad-code-review` run can take up to half an hour or
|
||||
more — it pays for itself when it catches real defects, not when it
|
||||
produces a long tail of minor issues. More than two iterations of agentic
|
||||
review on the same change is often a symptom of problems outside the
|
||||
change — bad planning, a messy codebase, etc.
|
||||
- When an epic completes, offer `bmad-retrospective`. When it — or anything
|
||||
midstream — exposes a significant planning change, route through
|
||||
`bmad-correct-course`, then resume at the earliest affected skill once the
|
||||
proposal is approved; do not replay unaffected work.
|
||||
|
||||
A run is complete when the intent is satisfied, its chosen checks pass, and
|
||||
no chosen review leaves material unresolved findings — not when every skill
|
||||
has been traversed.

- `bmad-product-brief` and `bmad-prfaq` — two alternative ways to shape a
|

product concept; use one, never both.
|
||||
- `bmad-prd` — turns a shaped concept into product requirements.
|
||||
- `bmad-ux` — records user experience decisions; belongs after the PRD when a
|
||||
UI is a significant part of the work.
|
||||
- `bmad-architecture` — records the how-to-build decisions that keep
|
||||
separately built parts consistent; comes before epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-create-epics-and-stories` — breaks the PRD and architecture into
|
||||
epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-sprint-planning` — checks the planning is complete enough to
|
||||
implement and generates the sprint status file; its status action
|
||||
summarizes sprint state at any time.
|
||||
- `bmad-project-context` — sets up or refreshes the repo's agent
|
||||
instructions; useful any time, in any path.
|
||||
|
||||
Implementation and quality:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-build` — one session-sized unit of delivery: clarifies the intent,
|
||||
plans as needed, implements, reviews, and presents. The implementation unit
|
||||
every path shares.
|
||||
- `bmad-build-auto` — one unattended Build unit; the worker an orchestrated
|
||||
loop dispatches. Do not choose it for attended work.
|
||||
- `bmad-code-review` — optional extra review of any change, on top of
|
||||
Build's built-in review.
|
||||
- `bmad-checkpoint-preview` — guided human walkthrough of a change.
|
||||
- `bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` — generates API and end-to-end tests for
|
||||
implemented code.
|
||||
- `bmad-retrospective` — judges a completed epic as a whole against its spec.
|
||||
- `bmad-correct-course` — assesses a significant midstream change and
|
||||
proposes where to resume.
|
||||
|
||||
Agent personas (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-agent-analyst`, `bmad-agent-architect`, `bmad-agent-dev`,
|
||||
`bmad-agent-pm`, `bmad-agent-ux-designer` — conversations with a single
|
||||
named perspective. No path above needs them; the flow skills already do
|
||||
this work. Offer one only when the user asks to talk to a specific role
|
||||
or wants one perspective's take without running a full skill.
|
||||
|
||||
A project environment may have a subset of these skills supporting the user's
|
||||
preferred workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use BMad
|
||||
|
||||
Ask whether one implementation session can reasonably understand, implement,
|
||||
review, and finish the change. Scope is only one signal: high risk, unclear
|
||||
requirements, architectural reach, or coordination between people pushes work
|
||||
up a tier even when it is small.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Trivial.** The edit is obvious and low-risk: make it directly and use no
|
||||
BMad skill at all — unless the user asks for BMad, or the change
|
||||
would still benefit from explicit planning and review.
|
||||
- **One session.** One coherent intent that fits an implementation session:
|
||||
hand it straight to `bmad-build`. No planning skill needs to run first.
|
||||
- **Epic-sized.** One coherent outcome that needs several sessions: run
|
||||
`bmad-spec` to pin down the what, tell it to create architecture and/or UX
|
||||
companion files if the situation calls for it, have it break the spec into
|
||||
stories, then run `bmad-build` or `bmad-build-auto` once per story. Risky
|
||||
and foundational stories deserve human attention, therefore `bmad-build`;
|
||||
once the decisions and patterns are stable, an orchestrated loop
|
||||
dispatching `bmad-build-auto` sessions may also be used. Finish with
|
||||
`bmad-retrospective` against the spec.
|
||||
- **Project-sized.** 10-100 coding sessions: take the full planning route —
|
||||
`bmad-product-brief` or `bmad-prfaq`, then `bmad-prd`, then `bmad-ux` when
|
||||
the user experience matters, then `bmad-architecture`,
|
||||
`bmad-create-epics-and-stories`, and `bmad-sprint-planning`. Each epic then
|
||||
runs like epic-sized work above, but without running spec for every epic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Answering "what's next?"
|
||||
|
||||
Read the state before recommending: which planning artifacts exist, and what
|
||||
the codebase, git history, and/or the user says is done. Caution: presence of
|
||||
a story file with `status: done` or another planning/tracking artifact like
|
||||
this does not prove completion. Then:
|
||||
|
||||
- Mid-path, recommend the next unfinished stage of the chosen path, not a
|
||||
restart.
|
||||
- When you detect ongoing sprint tracking, but sprint state is unclear, use
|
||||
`bmad-sprint-planning`'s status action.
|
||||
- After a Build: `bmad-code-review` is an optional extra gate; offer
|
||||
`bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` when automated coverage is wanted and
|
||||
`bmad-checkpoint-preview` when a human wants a walkthrough. Recommend
|
||||
repeated `bmad-code-review` after material fixes until remaining findings
|
||||
no longer affect acceptance. Keep in mind that both build skills have a
|
||||
review step, and each `bmad-code-review` run can take up to half an hour or
|
||||
more — it pays for itself when it catches real defects, not when it
|
||||
produces a long tail of minor issues. More than two iterations of agentic
|
||||
review on the same change is often a symptom of problems outside the
|
||||
change — bad planning, a messy codebase, etc.
|
||||
- When an epic completes, offer `bmad-retrospective`. When it — or anything
|
||||
midstream — exposes a significant planning change, route through
|
||||
`bmad-correct-course`, then resume at the earliest affected skill once the
|
||||
proposal is approved; do not replay unaffected work.
|
||||
|
||||
A run is complete when the intent is satisfied, its chosen checks pass, and
|
||||
no chosen review leaves material unresolved findings — not when every skill
|
||||
has been traversed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where things land
|
||||
|
||||
Durable specs and their story lists live under `{output_folder}/specs`;
|
||||
planning documents and change proposals under `{planning_artifacts}`; Build's
|
||||
working records, sprint status, reviews, and retrospectives under
|
||||
`{implementation_artifacts}`; implementation in the project working tree;
|
||||

Shaping and planning:

into an ordered story list. The entry point for epic-sized (2-10 coding

elsewhere).

- `bmad-project-context` — sets up or refreshes the repo's agent
|
||||
instructions; useful any time, in any path.
|
||||
|
||||
Implementation and quality:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-build` — one session-sized unit of delivery: clarifies the intent,
|
||||
plans as needed, implements, reviews, and presents. The implementation unit
|
||||
every path shares.
|
||||
- `bmad-build-auto` — one unattended Build unit; the worker an orchestrated
|
||||
loop dispatches. Do not choose it for attended work.
|
||||
- `bmad-code-review` — optional extra review of any change, on top of
|
||||
Build's built-in review.
|
||||
- `bmad-checkpoint-preview` — guided human walkthrough of a change.
|
||||
- `bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` — generates API and end-to-end tests for
|
||||
implemented code.
|
||||
- `bmad-retrospective` — judges a completed epic as a whole against its spec.
|
||||
- `bmad-correct-course` — assesses a significant midstream change and
|
||||
proposes where to resume.
|
||||
|
||||
Agent personas (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-agent-analyst`, `bmad-agent-architect`, `bmad-agent-dev`,
|
||||
`bmad-agent-pm`, `bmad-agent-ux-designer` — conversations with a single
|
||||
named perspective. No path above needs them; the flow skills already do
|
||||
this work. Offer one only when the user asks to talk to a specific role
|
||||
or wants one perspective's take without running a full skill.
|
||||
|
||||
A project environment may have a subset of these skills supporting the user's
|
||||
preferred workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use BMad
|
||||
|
||||
Ask whether one implementation session can reasonably understand, implement,
|
||||
review, and finish the change. Scope is only one signal: high risk, unclear
|
||||
requirements, architectural reach, or coordination between people pushes work
|
||||
up a tier even when it is small.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Trivial.** The edit is obvious and low-risk: make it directly and use no
|
||||
BMad skill at all — unless the user asks for BMad, or the change
|
||||
would still benefit from explicit planning and review.
|
||||
- **One session.** One coherent intent that fits an implementation session:
|
||||
hand it straight to `bmad-build`. No planning skill needs to run first.
|
||||
- **Epic-sized.** One coherent outcome that needs several sessions: run
|
||||
`bmad-spec` to pin down the what, tell it to create architecture and/or UX
|
||||
companion files if the situation calls for it, have it break the spec into
|
||||
stories, then run `bmad-build` or `bmad-build-auto` once per story. Risky
|
||||
and foundational stories deserve human attention, therefore `bmad-build`;
|
||||
once the decisions and patterns are stable, an orchestrated loop
|
||||
dispatching `bmad-build-auto` sessions may also be used. Finish with
|
||||
`bmad-retrospective` against the spec.
|
||||
- **Project-sized.** 10-100 coding sessions: take the full planning route —
|
||||
`bmad-product-brief` or `bmad-prfaq`, then `bmad-prd`, then `bmad-ux` when
|
||||
the user experience matters, then `bmad-architecture`,
|
||||
`bmad-create-epics-and-stories`, and `bmad-sprint-planning`. Each epic then
|
||||
runs like epic-sized work above, but without running spec for every epic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Answering "what's next?"
|
||||
|
||||
Read the state before recommending: which planning artifacts exist, and what
|
||||
the codebase, git history, and/or the user says is done. Caution: presence of
|
||||
a story file with `status: done` or another planning/tracking artifact like
|
||||
this does not prove completion. Then:
|
||||
|
||||
- Mid-path, recommend the next unfinished stage of the chosen path, not a
|
||||
restart.
|
||||
- When you detect ongoing sprint tracking, but sprint state is unclear, use
|
||||
`bmad-sprint-planning`'s status action.
|
||||
- After a Build: `bmad-code-review` is an optional extra gate; offer
|
||||
`bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` when automated coverage is wanted and
|
||||
`bmad-checkpoint-preview` when a human wants a walkthrough. Recommend
|
||||
repeated `bmad-code-review` after material fixes until remaining findings
|
||||
no longer affect acceptance. Keep in mind that both build skills have a
|
||||
review step, and each `bmad-code-review` run can take up to half an hour or
|
||||
more — it pays for itself when it catches real defects, not when it
|
||||
produces a long tail of minor issues. More than two iterations of agentic
|
||||
review on the same change is often a symptom of problems outside the
|
||||
change — bad planning, a messy codebase, etc.
|
||||
- When an epic completes, offer `bmad-retrospective`. When it — or anything
|
||||
midstream — exposes a significant planning change, route through
|
||||
`bmad-correct-course`, then resume at the earliest affected skill once the
|
||||
proposal is approved; do not replay unaffected work.
|
||||
|
||||
A run is complete when the intent is satisfied, its chosen checks pass, and
|
||||
no chosen review leaves material unresolved findings — not when every skill
|
||||
has been traversed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where things land
|
||||
|
||||
Durable specs and their story lists live under `{output_folder}/specs`;
|
||||
planning documents and change proposals under `{planning_artifacts}`; Build's
|
||||
working records, sprint status, reviews, and retrospectives under
|
||||
`{implementation_artifacts}`; implementation in the project working tree;
|
||||
generated QA tests under `{project-root}/tests`; and repository guidance at
|
||||
`{project-root}/AGENTS.md`.

# BMad Method (bmm)
|
||||
|
||||
This is a cohesive collection of skills for software development, helping the
|
||||
user turn an intent of any size into working software. Route the user to the
|
||||
smallest path that safely fits the work; never march them through every skill.
|
||||
|
||||
## The skills and their places in the flow
|
||||
|
||||
Shaping and planning:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-spec` — condenses any input into a short spec, and can break a spec
|
||||
into an ordered story list. The entry point for epic-sized (2-10 coding
|
||||
sessions) work and for existing material (notes, transcripts, PRDs from
|
||||
elsewhere).
|
||||
- `bmad-product-brief` and `bmad-prfaq` — two alternative ways to shape a
|
||||
product concept; use one, never both.
|
||||
- `bmad-prd` — turns a shaped concept into product requirements.
|
||||
- `bmad-ux` — records user experience decisions; belongs after the PRD when a
|
||||
UI is a significant part of the work.
|
||||
- `bmad-architecture` — records the how-to-build decisions that keep
|
||||
separately built parts consistent; comes before epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-create-epics-and-stories` — breaks the PRD and architecture into
|
||||
epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-sprint-planning` — checks the planning is complete enough to
|
||||
implement and generates the sprint status file; its status action
|
||||
summarizes sprint state at any time.
|
||||
- `bmad-project-context` — sets up or refreshes the repo's agent
|
||||
instructions; useful any time, in any path.

- `bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` — generates API and end-to-end tests for
|
||||
implemented code.
|
||||
- `bmad-retrospective` — judges a completed epic as a whole against its spec.
|
||||
- `bmad-correct-course` — assesses a significant midstream change and
|
||||
proposes where to resume.
|
||||
|
||||
Agent personas (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-agent-analyst`, `bmad-agent-architect`, `bmad-agent-dev`,
|
||||
`bmad-agent-pm`, `bmad-agent-ux-designer` — conversations with a single
|
||||
named perspective. No path above needs them; the flow skills already do
|
||||
this work. Offer one only when the user asks to talk to a specific role
|
||||
or wants one perspective's take without running a full skill.
|
||||
|
||||
A project environment may have a subset of these skills supporting the user's
|
||||
preferred workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use BMad
|
||||
|
||||
Ask whether one implementation session can reasonably understand, implement,
|
||||
review, and finish the change. Scope is only one signal: high risk, unclear
|
||||
requirements, architectural reach, or coordination between people pushes work
|
||||
up a tier even when it is small.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Trivial.** The edit is obvious and low-risk: make it directly and use no
|
||||
BMad skill at all — unless the user asks for BMad, or the change
|
||||
would still benefit from explicit planning and review.
|
||||
- **One session.** One coherent intent that fits an implementation session:
|
||||
hand it straight to `bmad-build`. No planning skill needs to run first.
|
||||
- **Epic-sized.** One coherent outcome that needs several sessions: run
|
||||
`bmad-spec` to pin down the what, tell it to create architecture and/or UX
|
||||
companion files if the situation calls for it, have it break the spec into
|
||||
stories, then run `bmad-build` or `bmad-build-auto` once per story. Risky
|
||||
and foundational stories deserve human attention, therefore `bmad-build`;
|
||||
once the decisions and patterns are stable, an orchestrated loop
|
||||
dispatching `bmad-build-auto` sessions may also be used. Finish with
|
||||
`bmad-retrospective` against the spec.
|
||||
- **Project-sized.** 10-100 coding sessions: take the full planning route —
|
||||
`bmad-product-brief` or `bmad-prfaq`, then `bmad-prd`, then `bmad-ux` when
|
||||
the user experience matters, then `bmad-architecture`,
|
||||
`bmad-create-epics-and-stories`, and `bmad-sprint-planning`. Each epic then
|
||||
runs like epic-sized work above, but without running spec for every epic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Answering "what's next?"
|
||||
|
||||
Read the state before recommending: which planning artifacts exist, and what
|
||||
the codebase, git history, and/or the user says is done. Caution: presence of
|
||||
a story file with `status: done` or another planning/tracking artifact like
|
||||
this does not prove completion. Then:
|
||||
|
||||
- Mid-path, recommend the next unfinished stage of the chosen path, not a
|
||||
restart.
|
||||
- When you detect ongoing sprint tracking, but sprint state is unclear, use
|
||||
`bmad-sprint-planning`'s status action.
|
||||
- After a Build: `bmad-code-review` is an optional extra gate; offer
|
||||
`bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` when automated coverage is wanted and
|
||||
`bmad-checkpoint-preview` when a human wants a walkthrough. Recommend
|
||||
repeated `bmad-code-review` after material fixes until remaining findings
|
||||
no longer affect acceptance. Keep in mind that both build skills have a
|
||||
review step, and each `bmad-code-review` run can take up to half an hour or
|
||||
more — it pays for itself when it catches real defects, not when it
|
||||
produces a long tail of minor issues. More than two iterations of agentic
|
||||
review on the same change is often a symptom of problems outside the
|
||||
change — bad planning, a messy codebase, etc.
|
||||
- When an epic completes, offer `bmad-retrospective`. When it — or anything
|
||||
midstream — exposes a significant planning change, route through
|
||||
`bmad-correct-course`, then resume at the earliest affected skill once the
|
||||
proposal is approved; do not replay unaffected work.
|
||||
|
||||
A run is complete when the intent is satisfied, its chosen checks pass, and
|
||||
no chosen review leaves material unresolved findings — not when every skill
|
||||
has been traversed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where things land
|
||||
|
||||
Durable specs and their story lists live under `{output_folder}/specs`;
|
||||
planning documents and change proposals under `{planning_artifacts}`; Build's
|
||||
working records, sprint status, reviews, and retrospectives under
|
||||
`{implementation_artifacts}`; implementation in the project working tree;
|
||||

# BMad Method (bmm)
|
||||
|
||||
This is a cohesive collection of skills for software development, helping the
|
||||
user turn an intent of any size into working software. Route the user to the
|
||||
smallest path that safely fits the work; never march them through every skill.
|
||||
|
||||
## The skills and their places in the flow
|
||||
|
||||
Shaping and planning:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-spec` — condenses any input into a short spec, and can break a spec
|
||||
into an ordered story list. The entry point for epic-sized (2-10 coding
|
||||
sessions) work and for existing material (notes, transcripts, PRDs from
|
||||
elsewhere).
|
||||
- `bmad-product-brief` and `bmad-prfaq` — two alternative ways to shape a
|
||||
product concept; use one, never both.
|
||||
- `bmad-prd` — turns a shaped concept into product requirements.
|
||||
- `bmad-ux` — records user experience decisions; belongs after the PRD when a
|
||||
UI is a significant part of the work.
|
||||
- `bmad-architecture` — records the how-to-build decisions that keep
|
||||
separately built parts consistent; comes before epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-create-epics-and-stories` — breaks the PRD and architecture into
|
||||
epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-sprint-planning` — checks the planning is complete enough to
|
||||
implement and generates the sprint status file; its status action
|
||||
summarizes sprint state at any time.
|
||||
- `bmad-project-context` — sets up or refreshes the repo's agent
|
||||
instructions; useful any time, in any path.
|
||||
|
||||
Implementation and quality:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-build` — one session-sized unit of delivery: clarifies the intent,
|
||||
plans as needed, implements, reviews, and presents. The implementation unit
|
||||
every path shares.
|
||||
- `bmad-build-auto` — one unattended Build unit; the worker an orchestrated
|
||||
loop dispatches. Do not choose it for attended work.
|
||||
- `bmad-code-review` — optional extra review of any change, on top of
|
||||
Build's built-in review.
|
||||
- `bmad-checkpoint-preview` — guided human walkthrough of a change.
|
||||
- `bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` — generates API and end-to-end tests for
|
||||
implemented code.
|
||||
- `bmad-retrospective` — judges a completed epic as a whole against its spec.

A project environment may have a subset of these skills supporting the user's
|
||||
preferred workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use BMad
|
||||
|
||||
Ask whether one implementation session can reasonably understand, implement,
|
||||
review, and finish the change. Scope is only one signal: high risk, unclear
|
||||
requirements, architectural reach, or coordination between people pushes work
|
||||
up a tier even when it is small.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Trivial.** The edit is obvious and low-risk: make it directly and use no
|
||||
BMad skill at all — unless the user asks for BMad, or the change
|
||||
would still benefit from explicit planning and review.
|
||||
- **One session.** One coherent intent that fits an implementation session:
|
||||
hand it straight to `bmad-build`. No planning skill needs to run first.
|
||||
- **Epic-sized.** One coherent outcome that needs several sessions: run
|
||||
`bmad-spec` to pin down the what, tell it to create architecture and/or UX
|
||||
companion files if the situation calls for it, have it break the spec into
|
||||
stories, then run `bmad-build` or `bmad-build-auto` once per story. Risky
|
||||
and foundational stories deserve human attention, therefore `bmad-build`;
|
||||
once the decisions and patterns are stable, an orchestrated loop
|
||||
dispatching `bmad-build-auto` sessions may also be used. Finish with
|
||||
`bmad-retrospective` against the spec.
|
||||
- **Project-sized.** 10-100 coding sessions: take the full planning route —
|
||||
`bmad-product-brief` or `bmad-prfaq`, then `bmad-prd`, then `bmad-ux` when
|
||||
the user experience matters, then `bmad-architecture`,
|
||||
`bmad-create-epics-and-stories`, and `bmad-sprint-planning`. Each epic then
|
||||
runs like epic-sized work above, but without running spec for every epic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Answering "what's next?"
|
||||
|
||||
Read the state before recommending: which planning artifacts exist, and what
|
||||
the codebase, git history, and/or the user says is done. Caution: presence of
|
||||
a story file with `status: done` or another planning/tracking artifact like
|
||||
this does not prove completion. Then:
|
||||
|
||||
- Mid-path, recommend the next unfinished stage of the chosen path, not a
|
||||
restart.
|
||||
- When you detect ongoing sprint tracking, but sprint state is unclear, use
|
||||
`bmad-sprint-planning`'s status action.
|
||||
- After a Build: `bmad-code-review` is an optional extra gate; offer
|
||||
`bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` when automated coverage is wanted and
|
||||
`bmad-checkpoint-preview` when a human wants a walkthrough. Recommend
|
||||
repeated `bmad-code-review` after material fixes until remaining findings
|
||||
no longer affect acceptance. Keep in mind that both build skills have a
|
||||
review step, and each `bmad-code-review` run can take up to half an hour or
|
||||
more — it pays for itself when it catches real defects, not when it
|
||||
produces a long tail of minor issues. More than two iterations of agentic
|
||||
review on the same change is often a symptom of problems outside the
|
||||
change — bad planning, a messy codebase, etc.
|
||||
- When an epic completes, offer `bmad-retrospective`. When it — or anything
|
||||
midstream — exposes a significant planning change, route through
|
||||
`bmad-correct-course`, then resume at the earliest affected skill once the
|
||||
proposal is approved; do not replay unaffected work.
|
||||
|
||||
A run is complete when the intent is satisfied, its chosen checks pass, and
|
||||
no chosen review leaves material unresolved findings — not when every skill
|
||||
has been traversed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where things land

|
||||
Durable specs and their story lists live under `{output_folder}/specs`;
|

planning documents and change proposals under `{planning_artifacts}`; Build's

|
||||

# BMad Method (bmm)
|
||||
|
||||
This is a cohesive collection of skills for software development, helping the
|
||||
user turn an intent of any size into working software. Route the user to the
|
||||
smallest path that safely fits the work; never march them through every skill.
|
||||
|
||||
## The skills and their places in the flow
|
||||
|
||||
Shaping and planning:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-spec` — condenses any input into a short spec, and can break a spec
|
||||
into an ordered story list. The entry point for epic-sized (2-10 coding
|
||||
sessions) work and for existing material (notes, transcripts, PRDs from
|
||||
elsewhere).
|
||||
- `bmad-product-brief` and `bmad-prfaq` — two alternative ways to shape a
|
||||
product concept; use one, never both.
|
||||
- `bmad-prd` — turns a shaped concept into product requirements.
|
||||
- `bmad-ux` — records user experience decisions; belongs after the PRD when a
|
||||
UI is a significant part of the work.
|
||||
- `bmad-architecture` — records the how-to-build decisions that keep
|
||||
separately built parts consistent; comes before epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-create-epics-and-stories` — breaks the PRD and architecture into
|
||||
epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-sprint-planning` — checks the planning is complete enough to
|
||||
implement and generates the sprint status file; its status action
|
||||
summarizes sprint state at any time.
|
||||
- `bmad-project-context` — sets up or refreshes the repo's agent
|
||||
instructions; useful any time, in any path.
|
||||
|
||||
Implementation and quality:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-build` — one session-sized unit of delivery: clarifies the intent,
|
||||
plans as needed, implements, reviews, and presents. The implementation unit
|
||||
every path shares.
|
||||
- `bmad-build-auto` — one unattended Build unit; the worker an orchestrated
|
||||
loop dispatches. Do not choose it for attended work.
|
||||
- `bmad-code-review` — optional extra review of any change, on top of
|
||||
Build's built-in review.
|
||||
- `bmad-checkpoint-preview` — guided human walkthrough of a change.
|
||||
- `bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` — generates API and end-to-end tests for
|
||||
implemented code.
|
||||
- `bmad-retrospective` — judges a completed epic as a whole against its spec.
|
||||
- `bmad-correct-course` — assesses a significant midstream change and
|
||||
proposes where to resume.
|
||||
|
||||
Agent personas (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-agent-analyst`, `bmad-agent-architect`, `bmad-agent-dev`,
|
||||
`bmad-agent-pm`, `bmad-agent-ux-designer` — conversations with a single
|
||||
named perspective. No path above needs them; the flow skills already do
|
||||
this work. Offer one only when the user asks to talk to a specific role
|
||||
or wants one perspective's take without running a full skill.

||||

- **Epic-sized.** One coherent outcome that needs several sessions: run
|
||||
`bmad-spec` to pin down the what, tell it to create architecture and/or UX
|
||||
companion files if the situation calls for it, have it break the spec into
|
||||
stories, then run `bmad-build` or `bmad-build-auto` once per story. Risky
|
||||
and foundational stories deserve human attention, therefore `bmad-build`;
|
||||
once the decisions and patterns are stable, an orchestrated loop
|
||||
dispatching `bmad-build-auto` sessions may also be used. Finish with
|
||||
`bmad-retrospective` against the spec.
|
||||
- **Project-sized.** 10-100 coding sessions: take the full planning route —
|
||||
`bmad-product-brief` or `bmad-prfaq`, then `bmad-prd`, then `bmad-ux` when
|
||||
the user experience matters, then `bmad-architecture`,
|
||||
`bmad-create-epics-and-stories`, and `bmad-sprint-planning`. Each epic then
|
||||
runs like epic-sized work above, but without running spec for every epic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Answering "what's next?"
|
||||
|
||||
Read the state before recommending: which planning artifacts exist, and what
|
||||
the codebase, git history, and/or the user says is done. Caution: presence of
|
||||
a story file with `status: done` or another planning/tracking artifact like
|
||||
this does not prove completion. Then:
|
||||
|
||||
- Mid-path, recommend the next unfinished stage of the chosen path, not a
|
||||
restart.
|
||||
- When you detect ongoing sprint tracking, but sprint state is unclear, use
|
||||
`bmad-sprint-planning`'s status action.
|
||||
- After a Build: `bmad-code-review` is an optional extra gate; offer
|
||||
`bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` when automated coverage is wanted and
|
||||
`bmad-checkpoint-preview` when a human wants a walkthrough. Recommend
|
||||
repeated `bmad-code-review` after material fixes until remaining findings
|
||||
no longer affect acceptance. Keep in mind that both build skills have a
|
||||
review step, and each `bmad-code-review` run can take up to half an hour or
|
||||
more — it pays for itself when it catches real defects, not when it
|
||||
produces a long tail of minor issues. More than two iterations of agentic
|
||||
review on the same change is often a symptom of problems outside the
|
||||
change — bad planning, a messy codebase, etc.
|
||||
- When an epic completes, offer `bmad-retrospective`. When it — or anything
|
||||
midstream — exposes a significant planning change, route through
|
||||
`bmad-correct-course`, then resume at the earliest affected skill once the
|
||||
proposal is approved; do not replay unaffected work.
|
||||
|
||||
A run is complete when the intent is satisfied, its chosen checks pass, and
|
||||
no chosen review leaves material unresolved findings — not when every skill
|
||||
has been traversed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where things land

Durable specs and their story lists live under `{output_folder}/specs`;

planning documents and change proposals under `{planning_artifacts}`; Build's

# BMad Method (bmm)
|
||||
|
||||
This is a cohesive collection of skills for software development, helping the
|
||||
user turn an intent of any size into working software. Route the user to the
|
||||
smallest path that safely fits the work; never march them through every skill.
|
||||
|
||||
## The skills and their places in the flow
|
||||
|
||||
Shaping and planning:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-spec` — condenses any input into a short spec, and can break a spec
|
||||
into an ordered story list. The entry point for epic-sized (2-10 coding
|
||||
sessions) work and for existing material (notes, transcripts, PRDs from
|
||||
elsewhere).
|
||||
- `bmad-product-brief` and `bmad-prfaq` — two alternative ways to shape a
|
||||
product concept; use one, never both.
|
||||
- `bmad-prd` — turns a shaped concept into product requirements.
|
||||
- `bmad-ux` — records user experience decisions; belongs after the PRD when a
|
||||
UI is a significant part of the work.
|
||||
- `bmad-architecture` — records the how-to-build decisions that keep
|
||||
separately built parts consistent; comes before epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-create-epics-and-stories` — breaks the PRD and architecture into
|
||||
epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-sprint-planning` — checks the planning is complete enough to
|
||||
implement and generates the sprint status file; its status action
|
||||
summarizes sprint state at any time.
|
||||
- `bmad-project-context` — sets up or refreshes the repo's agent
|
||||
instructions; useful any time, in any path.
|
||||
|
||||
Implementation and quality:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-build` — one session-sized unit of delivery: clarifies the intent,
|
||||
plans as needed, implements, reviews, and presents. The implementation unit
|
||||
every path shares.
|
||||
- `bmad-build-auto` — one unattended Build unit; the worker an orchestrated
|
||||
loop dispatches. Do not choose it for attended work.
|
||||
- `bmad-code-review` — optional extra review of any change, on top of
|
||||
Build's built-in review.
|
||||
- `bmad-checkpoint-preview` — guided human walkthrough of a change.
|
||||
- `bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` — generates API and end-to-end tests for
|
||||
implemented code.
|
||||
- `bmad-retrospective` — judges a completed epic as a whole against its spec.
|
||||
- `bmad-correct-course` — assesses a significant midstream change and
|
||||
proposes where to resume.
|
||||
|
||||
Agent personas (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-agent-analyst`, `bmad-agent-architect`, `bmad-agent-dev`,
|
||||
`bmad-agent-pm`, `bmad-agent-ux-designer` — conversations with a single
|
||||
named perspective. No path above needs them; the flow skills already do
|
||||
this work. Offer one only when the user asks to talk to a specific role
|
||||
or wants one perspective's take without running a full skill.
|
||||
|
||||
A project environment may have a subset of these skills supporting the user's
|
||||
preferred workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use BMad
|
||||
|
||||
Ask whether one implementation session can reasonably understand, implement,
|
||||
review, and finish the change. Scope is only one signal: high risk, unclear
|
||||
requirements, architectural reach, or coordination between people pushes work
|
||||
up a tier even when it is small.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Trivial.** The edit is obvious and low-risk: make it directly and use no
|
||||
BMad skill at all — unless the user asks for BMad, or the change
|
||||
would still benefit from explicit planning and review.
|
||||
- **One session.** One coherent intent that fits an implementation session:
|
||||
hand it straight to `bmad-build`. No planning skill needs to run first.
|
||||
- **Epic-sized.** One coherent outcome that needs several sessions: run
|
||||
`bmad-spec` to pin down the what, tell it to create architecture and/or UX
|
||||
companion files if the situation calls for it, have it break the spec into
|
||||
stories, then run `bmad-build` or `bmad-build-auto` once per story. Risky
|
||||
and foundational stories deserve human attention, therefore `bmad-build`;
|
||||
once the decisions and patterns are stable, an orchestrated loop
|
||||
dispatching `bmad-build-auto` sessions may also be used. Finish with
|
||||
`bmad-retrospective` against the spec.
|
||||

|
||||
`bmad-create-epics-and-stories`, and `bmad-sprint-planning`. Each epic then
|
||||
runs like epic-sized work above, but without running spec for every epic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Answering "what's next?"
|
||||
|
||||
Read the state before recommending: which planning artifacts exist, and what
|
||||
the codebase, git history, and/or the user says is done. Caution: presence of
|
||||
a story file with `status: done` or another planning/tracking artifact like
|
||||
this does not prove completion. Then:
|
||||
|
||||
- Mid-path, recommend the next unfinished stage of the chosen path, not a
|
||||
restart.
|
||||
- When you detect ongoing sprint tracking, but sprint state is unclear, use
|
||||
`bmad-sprint-planning`'s status action.
|
||||
- After a Build: `bmad-code-review` is an optional extra gate; offer
|
||||
`bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` when automated coverage is wanted and
|
||||
`bmad-checkpoint-preview` when a human wants a walkthrough. Recommend
|
||||
repeated `bmad-code-review` after material fixes until remaining findings
|
||||
no longer affect acceptance. Keep in mind that both build skills have a
|
||||
review step, and each `bmad-code-review` run can take up to half an hour or
|
||||
more — it pays for itself when it catches real defects, not when it
|
||||
produces a long tail of minor issues. More than two iterations of agentic
|
||||
review on the same change is often a symptom of problems outside the
|
||||
change — bad planning, a messy codebase, etc.
|
||||
- When an epic completes, offer `bmad-retrospective`. When it — or anything
|
||||
midstream — exposes a significant planning change, route through
|
||||
`bmad-correct-course`, then resume at the earliest affected skill once the
|
||||
proposal is approved; do not replay unaffected work.
|
||||
|
||||
A run is complete when the intent is satisfied, its chosen checks pass, and
|
||||
no chosen review leaves material unresolved findings — not when every skill
|
||||
has been traversed.

# BMad Method (bmm)
|
||||
|
||||
This is a cohesive collection of skills for software development, helping the
|
||||
user turn an intent of any size into working software. Route the user to the
|
||||
smallest path that safely fits the work; never march them through every skill.
|
||||
|
||||
## The skills and their places in the flow
|
||||
|
||||
Shaping and planning:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-spec` — condenses any input into a short spec, and can break a spec
|
||||
into an ordered story list. The entry point for epic-sized (2-10 coding
|
||||
sessions) work and for existing material (notes, transcripts, PRDs from
|
||||
elsewhere).
|
||||
- `bmad-product-brief` and `bmad-prfaq` — two alternative ways to shape a
|
||||
product concept; use one, never both.
|
||||
- `bmad-prd` — turns a shaped concept into product requirements.
|
||||
- `bmad-ux` — records user experience decisions; belongs after the PRD when a
|
||||
UI is a significant part of the work.
|
||||
- `bmad-architecture` — records the how-to-build decisions that keep
|
||||
separately built parts consistent; comes before epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-create-epics-and-stories` — breaks the PRD and architecture into
|
||||
epics and stories.
|
||||
- `bmad-sprint-planning` — checks the planning is complete enough to
|
||||
implement and generates the sprint status file; its status action
|
||||
summarizes sprint state at any time.
|
||||
- `bmad-project-context` — sets up or refreshes the repo's agent
|
||||
instructions; useful any time, in any path.
|
||||
|
||||
Implementation and quality:
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-build` — one session-sized unit of delivery: clarifies the intent,
|
||||
plans as needed, implements, reviews, and presents. The implementation unit
|
||||
every path shares.
|
||||
- `bmad-build-auto` — one unattended Build unit; the worker an orchestrated
|
||||
loop dispatches. Do not choose it for attended work.
|
||||
- `bmad-code-review` — optional extra review of any change, on top of
|
||||
Build's built-in review.
|
||||
- `bmad-checkpoint-preview` — guided human walkthrough of a change.
|
||||
- `bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` — generates API and end-to-end tests for
|
||||
implemented code.
|
||||
- `bmad-retrospective` — judges a completed epic as a whole against its spec.
|
||||
- `bmad-correct-course` — assesses a significant midstream change and
|
||||
proposes where to resume.
|
||||
|
||||
Agent personas (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
- `bmad-agent-analyst`, `bmad-agent-architect`, `bmad-agent-dev`,
|
||||
`bmad-agent-pm`, `bmad-agent-ux-designer` — conversations with a single
|
||||
named perspective. No path above needs them; the flow skills already do
|
||||
this work. Offer one only when the user asks to talk to a specific role
|
||||
or wants one perspective's take without running a full skill.
|
||||
|
||||
A project environment may have a subset of these skills supporting the user's
|
||||
preferred workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use BMad
|
||||
|
||||
Ask whether one implementation session can reasonably understand, implement,
|
||||
review, and finish the change. Scope is only one signal: high risk, unclear
|
||||
requirements, architectural reach, or coordination between people pushes work
|
||||
up a tier even when it is small.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Trivial.** The edit is obvious and low-risk: make it directly and use no
|
||||
BMad skill at all — unless the user asks for BMad, or the change
|
||||
would still benefit from explicit planning and review.
|
||||
- **One session.** One coherent intent that fits an implementation session:
|
||||
hand it straight to `bmad-build`. No planning skill needs to run first.
|
||||
- **Epic-sized.** One coherent outcome that needs several sessions: run
|
||||
`bmad-spec` to pin down the what, tell it to create architecture and/or UX
|
||||
companion files if the situation calls for it, have it break the spec into
|
||||
stories, then run `bmad-build` or `bmad-build-auto` once per story. Risky
|
||||
and foundational stories deserve human attention, therefore `bmad-build`;
|
||||
once the decisions and patterns are stable, an orchestrated loop
|
||||
dispatching `bmad-build-auto` sessions may also be used. Finish with
|
||||
`bmad-retrospective` against the spec.
|
||||
- **Project-sized.** 10-100 coding sessions: take the full planning route —
|
||||
`bmad-product-brief` or `bmad-prfaq`, then `bmad-prd`, then `bmad-ux` when
|
||||
the user experience matters, then `bmad-architecture`,
|
||||
`bmad-create-epics-and-stories`, and `bmad-sprint-planning`. Each epic then
|
||||
runs like epic-sized work above, but without running spec for every epic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Answering "what's next?"
|
||||
|
||||
Read the state before recommending: which planning artifacts exist, and what
|
||||
the codebase, git history, and/or the user says is done. Caution: presence of
|
||||
a story file with `status: done` or another planning/tracking artifact like
|
||||
this does not prove completion. Then:
|
||||
|
||||
- Mid-path, recommend the next unfinished stage of the chosen path, not a
|
||||
restart.
|
||||
- When you detect ongoing sprint tracking, but sprint state is unclear, use
|
||||
`bmad-sprint-planning`'s status action.
|
||||
- After a Build: `bmad-code-review` is an optional extra gate; offer
|
||||
`bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests` when automated coverage is wanted and
|
||||
`bmad-checkpoint-preview` when a human wants a walkthrough. Recommend
|
||||
repeated `bmad-code-review` after material fixes until remaining findings
|
||||
no longer affect acceptance. Keep in mind that both build skills have a
|
||||
review step, and each `bmad-code-review` run can take up to half an hour or
|
||||
more — it pays for itself when it catches real defects, not when it
|
||||
produces a long tail of minor issues. More than two iterations of agentic
|
||||
review on the same change is often a symptom of problems outside the
|
||||
change — bad planning, a messy codebase, etc.
|
||||
- When an epic completes, offer `bmad-retrospective`. When it — or anything
|
||||
midstream — exposes a significant planning change, route through
|
||||
`bmad-correct-course`, then resume at the earliest affected skill once the
|
||||
proposal is approved; do not replay unaffected work.
|
||||
|
||||
A run is complete when the intent is satisfied, its chosen checks pass, and

||||
no chosen review leaves material unresolved findings — not when every skill

||||
has been traversed.
