Welcome to the BMad Method
The BMad Method (Build More Architect Dreams) is an AI-driven development framework module within the BMad Method Ecosystem that helps you build software through the whole process from ideation and planning all the way through agentic implementation. 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
Section titled “New Here? Start with a Tutorial”The fastest way to understand BMad is to try it.
- Get Started with BMad — Install and understand how BMad works
- Workflow Map — Visual overview of BMM phases, workflows, and context management
How to Use These Docs
Section titled “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. |
Extend and Customize
Section titled “Extend and Customize”Want to expand BMad with your own agents, workflows, or modules? The BMad Builder provides the framework and tools for creating custom extensions, whether you’re adding new capabilities to BMad or building entirely new modules from scratch.
What You’ll Need
Section titled “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
- Codex CLI — OpenAI’s terminal coding agent
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.
