BMad Method Skill

Use BMad framework for AI-driven development with autonomous agent workflows. For detailed reference, see: docs/reference/commands.md - Complete command reference docs/reference/agents.md - Available agents docs/how-to/install-bmad.md - Detailed installation guide docs/tutorials/getting-started.md - Quick start

DEPENDENCY

This skill requires coding-agent skill with Claude Code installed. Claude Code must be installed (~/.local/bin/claude) Use bash pty:true for all Claude Code invocations

Description

BMad (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI Driven Development) is a 4-phase framework: Analysis β€” Explore the problem space Planning β€” Define what to build Solutioning β€” Decide how to build it Implementation β€” Build it Each phase produces documents that become context for the next phase.

Installation

To use BMad in a project: ⚠️ Security Note: npx bmad-method install fetches code from npm. Only run this if you trust the BMad package. Review the package before installing. cd ~/project && npx bmad-method install Select Claude Code when prompted.

⚠️ Installation is Interactive

⚠️ npx bmad-method install asks questions! For installation: DO NOT use background:true - you need to respond to prompts Stay in the session and answer each question Monitor the log for these common prompts: Prompt in LogExpected AnswerNotes"Where should BMad be installed?". or ~path/to/projectCurrent directory"Which AI tool are you using?"Claude Code or numberSelect Claude"Select modules to install"a or enterSelect all/default"Install BMad in current directory?"y or enterConfirm # Installation must be interactive! bash pty:true workdir:~/project command:"cd ~/project && npx bmad-method install" # Stay present, answer each prompt: # - Monitor log for prompts # - Submit answer via: process action:submit sessionId:XXX data:"y"

⚠️ Pre-Flight Check

Before running any /bmad- command, verify BMad is installed: ls -la ~/project/_bmad/ # or _bmad-output/ If not found β†’ run installation first: bash pty:true workdir:~/project command:"cd ~/project && npx bmad-method install"

Model Selection

Strategic model selection for efficiency: ModelBest Use CasesSonnetArchitecture, Solutioning, Quick-dev (complex tasks)HaikuBrainstorming, Story generation, Code review (repetitive/structured)OpusLarge refactoring, complex architecture decisions # Examples claude --model sonnet "Create the architecture" claude --model haiku "Generate stories from the epic"

Use Non-Interactive Mode When Possible

For commands that don't need real-time interaction: # Non-interactive (recommended for most BMad workflows) claude -p --dangerously-skip-permissions "Your prompt"

When to Use Background Mode

Use background:true only when: Running multiple BMad workflows in sequence The workflow is expected to take a long time Always monitor with process action:log every 10-30 seconds to detect if Claude Code is waiting for input.

Permission Configuration

To avoid Claude Code blocking on permission requests: ⚠️ Security Note: Using --dangerously-skip-permissions or --permission-mode bypassPermissions suppresses permission checks. Use with caution - only for trusted code execution. For production workflows, prefer default permissions or validate the code first. # Skip all permission prompts (use with caution!) claude --dangerously-skip-permissions "prompt" # Or use specific permission mode claude --permission-mode bypassPermissions "prompt"

Permission Loop Detection

If Claude Code waits for confirmation (Y/n, Commit, etc.): Check the log: process action:log sessionId:XXX Identify the type of prompt: Shell command (Y/n): β†’ submit "y" Git commit proposal: β†’ submit "n" (see below) Other: β†’ evaluate if you know the answer, otherwise ask user

Task Completion Detection (Background Mode)

How to know Claude Code is really done: Success message in log: Look for "Task completed", "Done!", "All tasks finished" Prompt available: The command prompt is back Timeout: If log is silent for 2+ minutes without completion message β†’ check process: ps aux | grep claude process action:log sessionId:XXX ⚠️ Only consider task complete when you see explicit success message or prompt is back.

Session Heartbeat (Long Running Tasks)

For workflows lasting 5+ minutes (/bmad-bmm-dev-story, large refactoring): Every 60 seconds with no new log output: # Check if process is still alive ps aux | grep claude # If stalled but alive β†’ check if waiting for input process action:log sessionId:XXX # If process died β†’ trigger recovery (see below)

Pattern 1: Full Analysis + Planning Request

User says: "Analyze the current architecture and generate the product brief for project X" Agent should: Pre-flight check: Verify BMad installed (ls _bmad/) Check project-context.md: If absent or outdated, generate it first (see below) Launch Claude Code in the project directory: bash pty:true workdir:~/path/to/project background:true command:"claude --dangerously-skip-permissions '/bmad-bmm-create-architecture'" Monitor progress with process action:log (check every 10-30s) If Claude Code needs information β†’ ask the user directly When complete β†’ run: ls _bmad-output/ to confirm files generated Verify output: grep -i "error" _bmad-output/architecture.md || head -20 _bmad-output/architecture.md Read architecture.md to verify coherence with user's request Then launch product brief: /bmad-bmm-create-product-brief

Pattern 2: Sprint Preparation with Story Generation

User says: "Prepare sprint 1 and add tasks to OCM (OpenClaw Mission Center)" Agent should: Pre-flight check: Verify BMad installed Launch Claude Code: bash pty:true workdir:~/path/to/project background:true command:"claude --dangerously-skip-permissions '/bmad-bmm-sprint-planning && /bmad-bmm-create-epics-and-stories'" Wait for stories to be generated in _bmad-output/epics/ Refresh context: run ls -R _bmad-output/ to confirm files exist Read stories efficiently (see "Reading Stories Safely" below) Create OCM tasks from each story (use task-manager skill) Report completion with task list OCM Task Traceability When creating OCM tasks, ALWAYS include the BMad story reference: Task: Implement login form validation Description: [full story content] --- Ref: _bmad-output/epics/auth/stories/story-login-validation.md Epic: auth Created from: BMad Sprint 1 Why: This links the OCM task back to the source story for traceability.

Pattern 3: Quick Feature Implementation

User says: "Implement feature X using quick-dev" Agent should: Launch Claude Code with quick-dev: bash pty:true workdir:~/path/to/project command:"claude --dangerously-skip-permissions '/bmad-bmm-quick-dev [feature description]'"

⚠️ Quick-Dev vs Standard: The Red Line

Quick-dev is faster but lacks safeguards. Use wisely. βœ… OK with Quick-Dev❌ NEVER with Quick-DevUI tweaksAuthentication changesBug fixesEncryption/SecurityNew endpointsDatabase migrationsSimple featuresPayment logicBreaking schema changes Rule: If the change touches security, auth, encryption, or database migrations β†’ Use full BMad cycle (Analysis β†’ Solutioning β†’ Implementation)

project-context.md Management

BMad relies on project-context.md as the project's "brain". It's the persistent context that guides all decisions.

Before /bmad-bmm-create-prd

Always check: ls ~/project/project-context.md

If Missing or Outdated

Generate or update it: # Option 1: Generate from codebase bash pty:true workdir:~/project command:"claude '/bmad-bmm-generate-project-context'" # Option 2: Update manually with user's latest direction # Ask user: "What's the current vision for this project?" # Then create/update project-context.md with that info

When User Changes Direction

If user pivots mid-project (new features, different direction): Update project-context.md with new intentions Regenerate architecture.md if architecture is affected Proceed with updated context

Reading Stories Safely (Avoid Context Overflow)

Don't dump all stories at once! Follow this process: List first: ls _bmad-output/epics/*/stories/ Check each story header before reading full: head -10 _bmad-output/epics/*/stories/story-*.md Read one at a time for task creation: Read story 1 β†’ create OCM task Read story 2 β†’ create OCM task etc. For batch operations, group by epic: for f in _bmad-output/epics/*/stories/*.md; do head -20 "$f"; done | head -100

❌ Avoid This (Silent Failures)

claude "/bmad-cmd1 && /bmad-cmd2" # If cmd1 fails, cmd2 still runs

βœ… Prefer Sequential Execution

# Step 1: Run cmd1 bash pty:true background:true command:"claude '/bmad-cmd1'" # Step 2: Verify output exists ls _bmad-output/required-file.md grep -q "expected content" _bmad-output/required-file.md || { echo "FAILED"; exit 1; } # Step 3: Run cmd2 only if cmd1 succeeded bash pty:true command:"claude '/bmad-cmd2'" Rule: Verify each step before proceeding to the next.

Recovery After Crash

Scenario: Claude Code crashes (API error 500, timeout, killed process)

Step 0: Kill Zombie Processes (BEFORE Restart!)

⚠️ Always check for stale processes first: # Check if Claude is still running ps aux | grep claude # Kill any zombie processes for this project pkill -f "claude.*projects/roundvision" || echo "No zombie processes" # Also kill any hanging node processes pkill -f "npx.*bmad" || echo "No zombie npx"

Step 1: Check what was generated

Check what was generated: ls -lt _bmad-output/*.md | head -10 Find the last valid file: # Read the most recently modified output ls -t _bmad-output/*.md | head -1 | xargs head -30 Resume from where it stopped: If architecture.md exists but stories/ missing β†’ run story generation If stories/ exist but no OCM tasks β†’ create tasks from existing stories If partial output β†’ check coherence, regenerate only what's missing Never restart from zero if partial output exists

Handling Claude Code Questions

When Claude Code asks questions during execution: Check the log first with process action:log sessionId:XXX to see what it asked If you know the answer β†’ provide it via process action:submit If you need to ask the user β†’ pause and get clarification first If Claude Code is blocked β†’ tell it to ask for what it needs, then come back to you Example: # Claude asks: "What's your preferred authentication provider?" # If you don't know β†’ ask user: "Claude needs to know auth provider - Auth0, Firebase, or Supabase?" # Then provide the answer: process action:submit sessionId:XXX data:"Auth0"

Use BMad for:

New features or epics Architecture changes or refactoring Sprint planning with story generation Technical documentation (PRD, architecture) Anything security-sensitive

Use coding-agent directly (without BMad) for:

Quick fixes and small corrections Simple code reviews One-file changes Experiments/prototyping Rule of thumb: If it needs a story breakdown and sprint planning β†’ BMad. If it's a simple edit β†’ coding-agent directly.

Reading BMad Outputs

After BMad workflows complete, documents are in: project/ β”œβ”€β”€ _bmad/ β”‚ └── config.yaml β”œβ”€β”€ _bmad-output/ β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ brainstorming-report.md β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ product-brief.md β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ PRD.md β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ ux-spec.md β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ architecture.md β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ epics/ β”‚ β”‚ └── epic-[name]/ β”‚ β”‚ └── stories/ β”‚ β”‚ └── story-[slug].md β”‚ └── sprint-status.yaml └── project-context.md ⚠️ Always verify files exist by running ls _bmad-output/ or ls -R _bmad-output/ after each workflow. Verify output validity before reading: # Quick check ls -la _bmad-output/architecture.md # Validate content head -20 _bmad-output/architecture.md # Check for errors grep -i "error\|fail" _bmad-output/architecture.md

Cache Refresh (Perception Reset)

⚠️ After Claude Code modifies source files, your cached view is stale! Rule: After each successful Claude Code intervention on source code: Don't assume your previous read of a file is still valid Re-read the file if you need to work on it further Clear mental cache - explicitly read the file again # Bad: Assuming old read is still valid read path:"~/project/src/auth.js" # ❌ May be outdated # Good: Read fresh after Claude modified it exec command:"cat ~/project/src/auth.js" # βœ… Fresh content

Validation Step

Before moving to Implementation phase: Read the generated architecture.md (or tech-spec.md for quick-dev) Verify it aligns with user's original request If misaligned β†’ regenerate or clarify with user

Error Handling

⚠️ Safety Rules

Never run rm -rf via Claude Code without explicit human validation Never use quick-dev for security-sensitive changes Default Git answer: "n" (let OpenClaw handle commits)

Git Commit Handling

Claude Code often asks: "Do you want to commit these changes? [y/N]" Reply "n" to keep Git control with OpenClaw Reply "y" ONLY if user explicitly requested full Git autonomy # When Claude asks to commit, default to "n" process action:submit sessionId:XXX data:"n"

Example 1: Architecture Analysis + Product Brief (Sequential)

User: "On project PingRoot, analyze the current architecture and generate the product brief" Agent does: # 1. Pre-flight check ls ~/projects/pingroot/_bmad/ || echo "Need to install BMad" # 2. Check/update project-context.md ls ~/projects/pingroot/project-context.md || echo "Need to create project-context.md" # 3. Launch architecture workflow bash pty:true workdir:~/projects/pingroot background:true command:"claude --dangerously-skip-permissions '/bmad-bmm-create-architecture'" # 4. Monitor, wait for completion process action:poll sessionId:XXX # 5. Verify output ls _bmad-output/architecture.md head -20 _bmad-output/architecture.md grep -i "error" _bmad-output/architecture.md || echo "OK" # 6. If OK, verify coherence with user request # 7. If coherent, launch product brief bash pty:true workdir:~/projects/pingroot command:"claude --dangerously-skip-permissions '/bmad-bmm-create-product-brief'" # 8. Deliver outputs

Example 2: Sprint Preparation + OCM Tasks (with safety checks)

User: "Prepare sprint 1 for RoundVision and add tasks to OCM" Agent does: # 1. Pre-flight check ls ~/projects/roundvision/_bmad/ || npx bmad-method install # 2. Check project-context.md ls ~/projects/roundvision/project-context.md || echo "Update this first!" # 3. Launch sprint planning + story creation bash pty:true workdir:~/projects/roundvision background:true command:"claude --dangerously-skip-permissions '/bmad-bmm-sprint-planning && /bmad-bmm-create-epics-and-stories'" # 4. Monitor and wait for completion process action:poll sessionId:XXX # repeat until done # 5. Refresh context - verify files exist ls -R ~/projects/roundvision/_bmad-output/epics/ # 6. List stories first (don't dump all at once!) ls ~/projects/roundvision/_bmad-output/epics/*/stories/ # 7. Read and process stories one by one for story in ~/projects/roundvision/_bmad-output/epics/*/stories/*.md; do echo "=== $(basename $story) ===" head -20 "$story" # Create OCM task from this story done # 8. Report: "Created X tasks in OCM for Sprint 1" # IMPORTANT: Each OCM task must include story path as reference!

Example 3: Quick Fix (No BMad Needed)

User: "Fix the typo in the login page" Agent does: # Direct coding-agent, no BMad workflow needed bash pty:true workdir:~/projects/login command:"claude 'Fix the typo on line 42: \"Passowrd\" β†’ \"Password\"'"

Example 4: Recovery After Crash

Scenario: Claude Code crashes during story generation Agent does: # 0. Cleanup zombies FIRST! ps aux | grep claude pkill -f "claude.*projects/roundvision" || echo "Clean" # 1. Check what was generated ls -lt ~/project/_bmad-output/ | head -10 # 2. Find last valid file ls -t ~/project/_bmad-output/epics/*/stories/ | head -1 # 3. Check if partial stories exist ls ~/project/_bmad-output/epics/*/stories/*.md | wc -l # 4. If partial β†’ resume from last point # If 3 stories out of 5 β†’ generate remaining 2 # If 0 stories β†’ restart story generation # 5. Continue without restarting from zero

⚠️ CRITICAL: Sub-Agent (Minion) Access

The minion does NOT automatically have access to project files! sub-agent to implement When spawning a a task, you MUST provide:

1. Project Directory Access

# Minion needs workdir to access project files sessions_spawn workdir:"~/projects/roundvision" ...

2. Story + Context + Architecture

⚠️ NEVER give only the story to a minion! The story says "Add a login button" but doesn't say: Is this React, Vue, or vanilla JS? Does it use Tailwind or Bootstrap? What's the existing auth pattern? You MUST provide: Story (what to build) project-context.md (project rules, tech stack) architecture.md (technical decisions) # Step 1: Read all three cat ~/projects/roundvision/project-context.md cat ~/projects/roundvision/_bmad-output/architecture.md cat ~/projects/roundvision/_bmad-output/epics/auth.md # Step/stories/story-login 2: Combine into a comprehensive prompt sessions_spawn task:"You are implementing this story: [STORY]. Project context: [CONTEXT]. Architecture: [ARCHITECTURE]. Follow the patterns defined in architecture.md."

3. OCM Task Should Include Story Path

{ "title": "Implement login form validation", "description": "Full story content...", "source": "_bmad-output/epics/auth/stories/story-login.md" } ⚠️ Without workdir + story content + context + architecture, the minion is blind and cannot implement anything!

Notes

BMad brainstorming: Use sparingly. OpenClaw itself is a brainstorming agent. Use BMad for technical structuring, keep high-level strategy with OpenClaw. BMad generates files in _bmad-output/ project-context.md is the project's brain - keep it updated /bmad-help provides interactive guidance Always use pty:true with Claude Code For model restrictions, use --model <sonnet|haiku|opus> Token efficiency: Use direct coding-agent for small tasks, reserve BMad for complex workflows Sequential over chained: Verify each step before proceeding
