BMAD Method

When to Use

Use this skill when the user:

• asks what BMAD skill or workflow to run next
• wants to move between roadmap, phase, and implementation work
• needs workspace or polyrepo routing guidance
• wants to understand how planning, docs, and BMAD fit together

Instructions

1. Start with _bmad/BMAD-workflow.md for the high-level flow.
2. Use _bmad/_config/skill-manifest.csv plus references/command-catalog.md to choose the correct skill.
3. Distinguish workspace coordination from repo-local delivery before recommending a skill.
4. Prefer the smallest skill that moves the user forward without skipping required gates.
5. When routing is ambiguous, recommend /bmad-help or the exact BMAD skill that fits the current phase.
6. Skills are auto-generated from the _bmad/ skill tree at build time; the skill manifest is the source of truth for available skills.

References

• Read references/command-catalog.md when you need the current shipped skill surface.
• Read _bmad/tools/automation/README.md only if the user asks for automation or orchestration.
