* refactor(review): slim adversarial hunter prompt across build and review skills Drop cynical-persona framing. Inline a short review prompt (≥10 findings, look for missing, empty/zero guards) into blind-hunter layer instructions for bmad-build, bmad-build-auto, and bmad-code-review. Delete the old review-prompts/adversarial.md files. Align offline no-subagent dump with the same child prompt. Update bmad-review's adversarial lens to the same method while keeping its canonical finding fields. * test(renderer): stop requiring deleted adversarial.md prompt file Blind hunter is inlined; assert the inlined prompt text and remaining file-backed review prompts instead. * docs: align adversarial review explanation with slim hunter prompt Document the finding floor and missing-not-only-wrong method instead of the old cynical persona. Update core-tools lens table and localized pages.
Turn an idea or change request into working software without giving up the thinking.
Heard BMad means heavyweight process for every change? It doesn't. Small changes go straight to build. Complex work gets the depth it needs.
Start anywhere. Use BMad end to end, or carry its briefs, specifications, and architecture into your existing delivery workflow.
Start Building
Prerequisites: Node.js 20.12+, Python 3.10+, and uv
npx bmad-method install
Open your project in your AI coding tool, invoke bmad-build with what you want to change, and keep making the decisions that matter. Run bmad-help whenever you want guidance on what comes next or what is optional.
Build your first project with BMad →
BMad is free and open source, with no paywalled workflows or gated community. For prerelease builds, CI/CD, configuration overrides, and non-interactive setup, see the installation guide.
Why BMad?
Coding assistants are effective at implementation, but they often turn unstated assumptions into code. BMad keeps you in control while its agents and workflows make the important decisions explicit and preserve them as context for the work that follows.
- Right-sized process — Go directly to implementation for clear changes or add deeper planning for larger initiatives.
- Durable context — Carry product and technical decisions forward instead of re-explaining them in every chat.
- Specialized perspectives — Bring in product, architecture, UX, development, and testing expertise when it helps.
- Guided collaboration — Use structured workflows and multiple-agent discussions without handing over judgment.
- One delivery path — Move from early thinking through reviewed implementation, correction, and learning.
