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.

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.
