feat: Complete BMAD agent creation system with install tooling, references, and field guidance
## Overview
This commit represents a complete overhaul of the BMAD agent creation system, establishing clear standards for agent development, installation workflows, and persona design. The changes span documentation, tooling, reference implementations, and field-specific guidance.
## Key Components
### 1. Agent Installation Infrastructure
**New CLI Command: `agent-install`**
- Interactive agent installation with persona customization
- Supports Simple (single YAML), Expert (sidecar files), and Module agents
- Template variable processing with Handlebars-style syntax
- Automatic compilation from YAML to XML (.md) format
- Manifest tracking and IDE integration (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
- Source preservation in `_cfg/custom/agents/` for reinstallation
**Files Created:**
- `tools/cli/commands/agent-install.js` - Main CLI command
- `tools/cli/lib/agent/compiler.js` - YAML to XML compilation engine
- `tools/cli/lib/agent/installer.js` - Installation orchestration
- `tools/cli/lib/agent/template-engine.js` - Handlebars template processing
**Compiler Features:**
- Auto-injects frontmatter, activation, handlers, help/exit menu items
- Smart handler inclusion (only includes action/workflow/exec/tmpl handlers actually used)
- Proper XML escaping and formatting
- Persona name customization (e.g., "Fred the Commit Poet")
### 2. Documentation Overhaul
**Deleted Bloated/Outdated Docs (2,651 lines removed):**
- Old verbose architecture docs
- Redundant pattern files
- Outdated workflow guides
**Created Focused, Type-Specific Docs:**
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/understanding-agent-types.md` - Architecture vs capability distinction
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/simple-agent-architecture.md` - Self-contained agents
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/expert-agent-architecture.md` - Agents with sidecar files
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/module-agent-architecture.md` - Workflow-integrated agents
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/agent-compilation.md` - YAML → XML process
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/agent-menu-patterns.md` - Menu design patterns
- `src/modules/bmb/docs/index.md` - Documentation hub
**Net Result:** ~1,930 line reduction while adding MORE value through focused content
### 3. Create-Agent Workflow Enhancements
**Critical Persona Field Guidance Added to Step 4:**
Explains how the LLM interprets each persona field when the agent activates:
- **role** → "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
- **identity** → "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
- **communication_style** → "What verbal patterns, word choice, quirks, and phrasing do I use?"
- **principles** → "What beliefs and operating philosophy drive my choices?"
**Key Insight:** `communication_style` should ONLY describe HOW the agent talks, not restate role/identity/principles. The `communication-presets.csv` provides 60 pure communication styles with NO role/identity/principles mixed in.
**Files Updated:**
- `src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/instructions.md` - Added persona field interpretation guide
- `src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/brainstorm-context.md` - Refined to 137 lines
- `src/modules/bmb/workflows/create-agent/communication-presets.csv` - 60 styles across 13 categories
### 4. Reference Agent Cleanup
**Removed install_config Personality Bloat:**
Understanding: Future installer will handle personality customization, so stripped all personality toggles from reference agents.
**commit-poet.agent.yaml** (Simple Agent):
- BEFORE: 36 personality combinations (3 enthusiasm × 3 depths × 4 styles) = decision fatigue
- AFTER: Single concise persona with pure communication style
- Changed from verbose conditionals to: "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase. I transform mundane commits into lyrical masterpieces, finding beauty in your code's evolution."
- Reduction: 248 lines → 153 lines (38% reduction)
**journal-keeper.agent.yaml** (Expert Agent):
- Stripped install_config, simplified communication_style
- Shows proper Expert agent structure with sidecar files
**security-engineer.agent.yaml & trend-analyst.agent.yaml** (Module Agents):
- Added header comments explaining WHY Module Agent (design intent, not just location)
- Clarified: Module agents are designed FOR ecosystem integration, not capability-limited
**Files Updated:**
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/simple-examples/commit-poet.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/expert-examples/journal-keeper/journal-keeper.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/module-examples/security-engineer.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmb/reference/agents/module-examples/trend-analyst.agent.yaml`
### 5. BMM Agent Voice Enhancement
**Gave all 9 BMM agents distinct, memorable communication voices:**
**Mary (analyst)** - The favorite! Changed from generic "systematic and probing" to:
"Treats analysis like a treasure hunt - excited by every clue, thrilled when patterns emerge. Asks questions that spark 'aha!' moments while structuring insights with precision."
**Other Notable Voices:**
- **John (pm):** "Asks 'WHY?' relentlessly like a detective on a case. Direct and data-sharp, cuts through fluff to what actually matters."
- **Winston (architect):** "Speaks in calm, pragmatic tones, balancing 'what could be' with 'what should be.' Champions boring technology that actually works."
- **Amelia (dev):** "Ultra-succinct. Speaks in file paths and AC IDs - every statement citable. No fluff, all precision."
- **Bob (sm):** "Crisp and checklist-driven. Every word has a purpose, every requirement crystal clear. Zero tolerance for ambiguity."
- **Sally (ux-designer):** "Paints pictures with words, telling user stories that make you FEEL the problem. Empathetic advocate with creative storytelling flair."
**Pattern Applied:** Moved behaviors from communication_style to principles, keeping communication_style as PURE verbal patterns.
**Files Updated:**
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/analyst.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/pm.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/architect.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/dev.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/sm.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/tea.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/tech-writer.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/ux-designer.agent.yaml`
- `src/modules/bmm/agents/frame-expert.agent.yaml`
### 6. Linting Fixes
**ESLint Compliance:**
- Replaced all `'utf-8'` with `'utf8'` (unicorn/text-encoding-identifier-case)
- Changed `variables.hasOwnProperty(varName)` to `Object.hasOwn(variables, varName)` (unicorn/prefer-object-has-own)
- Replaced `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(...))` with `structuredClone(...)` (unicorn/prefer-structured-clone)
- Fixed empty YAML mapping values in sample files
**Files Fixed:**
- 7 JavaScript files across agent tooling (compiler, installer, commands, IDE integration)
- 1 YAML sample file
## Architecture Decisions
### Agent Types Are About Architecture, Not Capability
- **Simple:** Self-contained in single YAML (NOT limited in capability)
- **Expert:** Includes sidecar files (templates, docs, etc.)
- **Module:** Designed for BMAD ecosystem integration (workflows, cross-agent coordination)
### Persona Field Separation Critical for LLM Interpretation
The LLM needs distinct fields to understand its role:
- Mixing role/identity/principles into communication_style confuses the persona
- Pure communication styles (from communication-presets.csv) have ZERO role/identity/principles content
- Example DON'T: "Experienced analyst who uses systematic approaches..." (mixing identity + style)
- Example DO: "Systematic and probing. Structures findings hierarchically." (pure style)
### Install-Time vs Runtime Configuration
- Template variables ({{var}}) resolve at compile-time
- Runtime variables ({user_name}, {bmad_folder}) resolve when agent activates
- Future installer will handle personality customization, so agents should ship with single default persona
## Testing
- All linting passes (ESLint with max-warnings=0)
- Agent compilation tested with commit-poet, journal-keeper examples
- Install workflow validated with Simple and Expert agent types
- Manifest tracking and IDE integration verified
## Impact
This establishes BMAD as having a complete, production-ready agent creation and installation system with:
- Clear documentation for all agent types
- Automated compilation and installation
- Strong persona design guidance
- Reference implementations showing best practices
- Distinct, memorable agent voices throughout BMM module

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating a Code Review Agent
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
User: I need a code review agent
|
||||
Builder: Let's brainstorm first...
|
||||
|
||||
[Brainstorming generates ideas for strict vs friendly reviewer]
|
||||
|
||||
Builder: Now let's build your agent:
|
||||
- Type: Simple
|
||||
- Name: Code Reviewer
|
||||
- Role: Senior developer conducting thorough reviews
|
||||
- Style: Professional but approachable
|
||||
- Commands:
|
||||
- *review-pr: Review pull request
|
||||
- *review-file: Review single file
|
||||
- *review-standards: Check coding standards
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating a Domain Expert
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Type: Expert
|
||||
Name: Legal Advisor
|
||||
Sidecar: legal-knowledge/
|
||||
Commands:
|
||||
- *contract-review
|
||||
- *compliance-check
|
||||
- *risk-assessment
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

# BMAD Agent Architecture Reference
|
||||
|
||||
_LLM-Optimized Technical Documentation for Agent Building_
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Agent Structure
|
||||
|
||||
### Minimal Valid Agent
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<agent id="path/to/agent.md" name="Name" title="Title" icon="🤖">
|
||||
<persona>
|
||||
<role>My primary function</role>
|
||||
<identity>My background and expertise</identity>
|
||||
<communication_style>How I interact</communication_style>
|
||||
<principles>My core beliefs and methodology</principles>
|
||||
</persona>
|
||||
<menu>
|
||||
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered menu</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
|
||||
</menu>
|
||||
</agent>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent XML Schema
|
||||
|
||||
### Root Element: `<agent>`
|
||||
|
||||
**Required Attributes:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `id` - Unique path identifier (e.g., "{bmad_folder}/bmm/agents/analyst.md")
|
||||
- `name` - Agent's name (e.g., "Mary", "John", "Helper")
|
||||
- `title` - Professional title (e.g., "Business Analyst", "Security Engineer")
|
||||
- `icon` - Single emoji representing the agent
|
||||
|
||||
### Core Sections
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Persona Section (REQUIRED)
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<persona>
|
||||
<role>1-2 sentences: Professional title and primary expertise, use first-person voice</role>
|
||||
<identity>2-5 sentences: Background, experience, specializations, use first-person voice</identity>
|
||||
<communication_style>1-3 sentences: Interaction approach, tone, quirks, use first-person voice</communication_style>
|
||||
<principles>2-5 sentences: Core beliefs, methodology, philosophy, use first-person voice</principles>
|
||||
</persona>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Best Practices:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Role: Be specific about expertise area
|
||||
- Identity: Include experience indicators (years, depth)
|
||||
- Communication: Describe HOW they interact, not just tone and quirks
|
||||
- Principles: Start with "I believe" or "I operate" for first-person voice
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Critical Actions Section
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<critical-actions>
|
||||
<i>Load into memory {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/config.yaml and set variables</i>
|
||||
<i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
|
||||
<i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
|
||||
<!-- Custom initialization actions -->
|
||||
</critical-actions>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For Expert Agents with Sidecars (CRITICAL):**
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<critical-actions>
|
||||
<!-- CRITICAL: Load sidecar files FIRST -->
|
||||
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/instructions.md and follow ALL directives</i>
|
||||
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/memories.md into permanent context</i>
|
||||
<i critical="MANDATORY">You MUST follow all rules in instructions.md on EVERY interaction</i>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Standard initialization -->
|
||||
<i>Load into memory {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/config.yaml and set variables</i>
|
||||
<i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
|
||||
<i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Domain restrictions -->
|
||||
<i>ONLY read/write files in {user-folder}/diary/ - NO OTHER FOLDERS</i>
|
||||
</critical-actions>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Common Patterns:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Config loading for module agents
|
||||
- User context initialization
|
||||
- Language preferences
|
||||
- **Sidecar file loading (Expert agents) - MUST be explicit and CRITICAL**
|
||||
- **Domain restrictions (Expert agents) - MUST be enforced**
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. Menu Section (REQUIRED)
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<menu>
|
||||
<item cmd="*trigger" [attributes]>Description</item>
|
||||
</menu>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Command Attributes:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `run-workflow="{path}"` - Executes a workflow
|
||||
- `exec="{path}"` - Executes a task
|
||||
- `tmpl="{path}"` - Template reference
|
||||
- `data="{path}"` - Data file reference
|
||||
|
||||
**Required Menu Items:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `*help` - Always first, shows command list
|
||||
- `*exit` - Always last, exits agent
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Agent Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Activation Rules (OPTIONAL)
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<activation critical="true">
|
||||
<initialization critical="true" sequential="MANDATORY">
|
||||
<step n="1">Load configuration</step>
|
||||
<step n="2">Apply overrides</step>
|
||||
<step n="3">Execute critical actions</step>
|
||||
<step n="4" critical="BLOCKING">Show greeting with menu</step>
|
||||
<step n="5" critical="BLOCKING">AWAIT user input</step>
|
||||
</initialization>
|
||||
<command-resolution critical="true">
|
||||
<rule>Numeric input → Execute command at cmd_map[n]</rule>
|
||||
<rule>Text input → Fuzzy match against commands</rule>
|
||||
</command-resolution>
|
||||
</activation>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Expert Agent Sidecar Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- DO NOT use sidecar-resources tag - Instead use critical-actions -->
|
||||
<!-- Sidecar files MUST be loaded explicitly in critical-actions -->
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Example Expert Agent with Diary domain -->
|
||||
<agent id="diary-keeper" name="Personal Assistant" title="Diary Keeper" icon="📔">
|
||||
<critical-actions>
|
||||
<!-- MANDATORY: Load all sidecar files -->
|
||||
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/diary-rules.md</i>
|
||||
<i critical="MANDATORY">Load COMPLETE file {agent-folder}/user-memories.md</i>
|
||||
<i critical="MANDATORY">Follow ALL rules from diary-rules.md</i>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Domain restriction -->
|
||||
<i critical="MANDATORY">ONLY access files in {user-folder}/diary/</i>
|
||||
<i critical="MANDATORY">NEVER access files outside diary folder</i>
|
||||
</critical-actions>
|
||||
|
||||
<persona>...</persona>
|
||||
<menu>...</menu>
|
||||
</agent>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Module Agent Integration
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<module-integration>
|
||||
<module-path>{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module-code}</module-path>
|
||||
<config-source>{module-path}/config.yaml</config-source>
|
||||
<workflows-path>{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module-code}/workflows</workflows-path>
|
||||
</module-integration>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Variable System
|
||||
|
||||
### System Variables
|
||||
|
||||
- `{project-root}` - Root directory of project
|
||||
- `{user_name}` - User's name from config
|
||||
- `{communication_language}` - Language preference
|
||||
- `{date}` - Current date
|
||||
- `{module}` - Current module code
|
||||
|
||||
### Config Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Format: `{config_source}:variable_name`
|
||||
Example: `{config_source}:output_folder`
|
||||
|
||||
### Path Construction
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Good: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/agents/
|
||||
Bad: /absolute/path/to/agents/
|
||||
Bad: ../../../relative/paths/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Command Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Full path -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*create-prd" run-workflow="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">
|
||||
Create Product Requirements Document
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Placeholder for future -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*analyze" run-workflow="todo">
|
||||
Perform analysis (workflow to be created)
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Task Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<item cmd="*validate" exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml">
|
||||
Validate document
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Template Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<item cmd="*brief"
|
||||
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
|
||||
tmpl="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/templates/brief.md">
|
||||
Create project brief
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Data-Driven Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<item cmd="*standup"
|
||||
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/tasks/daily-standup.xml"
|
||||
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv">
|
||||
Run daily standup
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent Type Specific Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Simple Agent
|
||||
|
||||
- Self-contained logic
|
||||
- Minimal or no external dependencies
|
||||
- May have embedded functions
|
||||
- Good for utilities and converters
|
||||
|
||||
### Expert Agent
|
||||
|
||||
- Domain-specific with sidecar resources
|
||||
- Restricted access patterns
|
||||
- Memory/context files
|
||||
- Good for specialized domains
|
||||
|
||||
### Module Agent
|
||||
|
||||
- Full integration with module
|
||||
- Multiple workflows and tasks
|
||||
- Config-driven behavior
|
||||
- Good for professional tools
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid
|
||||
|
||||
### ❌ Bad Practices
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Missing required persona elements -->
|
||||
<persona>
|
||||
<role>Helper</role>
|
||||
<!-- Missing identity, style, principles -->
|
||||
</persona>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Hard-coded paths -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*run" exec="/Users/john/project/task.md">
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- No help command -->
|
||||
<menu>
|
||||
<item cmd="*do-something">Action</item>
|
||||
<!-- Missing *help -->
|
||||
</menu>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Duplicate command triggers -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*analyze">First</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*analyze">Second</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ✅ Good Practices
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Complete persona -->
|
||||
<persona>
|
||||
<role>Data Analysis Expert</role>
|
||||
<identity>Senior analyst with 10+ years...</identity>
|
||||
<communication_style>Analytical and precise...</communication_style>
|
||||
<principles>I believe in data-driven...</principles>
|
||||
</persona>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Variable-based paths -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*run" exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/module/task.md">
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Required commands present -->
|
||||
<menu>
|
||||
<item cmd="*help">Show commands</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*analyze">Perform analysis</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*exit">Exit</item>
|
||||
</menu>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent Lifecycle
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Initialization
|
||||
|
||||
1. Load agent file
|
||||
2. Parse XML structure
|
||||
3. Load critical-actions
|
||||
4. Apply config overrides
|
||||
5. Present greeting
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Command Loop
|
||||
|
||||
1. Show numbered menu
|
||||
2. Await user input
|
||||
3. Resolve command
|
||||
4. Execute action
|
||||
5. Return to menu
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Termination
|
||||
|
||||
1. User enters \*exit
|
||||
2. Cleanup if needed
|
||||
3. Exit persona
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
Before deploying an agent:
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Valid XML structure
|
||||
- [ ] All persona elements present
|
||||
- [ ] *help and *exit commands exist
|
||||
- [ ] All paths use variables
|
||||
- [ ] No duplicate commands
|
||||
- [ ] Config loading works
|
||||
- [ ] Commands execute properly
|
||||
|
||||
## LLM Building Tips
|
||||
|
||||
When building agents:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start with agent type (Simple/Expert/Module)
|
||||
2. Define complete persona first
|
||||
3. Add standard critical-actions
|
||||
4. Include *help and *exit
|
||||
5. Add domain commands
|
||||
6. Test command execution
|
||||
7. Validate with checklist
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration Points
|
||||
|
||||
### With Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
- Agents invoke workflows via run-workflow
|
||||
- Workflows can be incomplete (marked "todo")
|
||||
- Workflow paths must be valid or "todo"
|
||||
|
||||
**Workflow Interaction Styles** (BMAD v6 default):
|
||||
|
||||
- **Intent-based + Interactive**: Workflows adapt to user context and skill level
|
||||
- Workflows collaborate with users, not just extract data
|
||||
- See workflow-creation-guide.md "Instruction Styles" section for details
|
||||
- When creating workflows for your agent, default to intent-based unless you need prescriptive control
|
||||
|
||||
### With Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
- Tasks are single operations
|
||||
- Executed via exec attribute
|
||||
- Can include data files
|
||||
|
||||
### With Templates
|
||||
|
||||
- Templates define document structure
|
||||
- Used with create-doc task
|
||||
- Variables passed through
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Reference
|
||||
|
||||
### Minimal Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<menu>
|
||||
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
|
||||
</menu>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Standard Critical Actions
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<critical-actions>
|
||||
<i>Load into memory {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/config.yaml</i>
|
||||
<i>Remember the users name is {user_name}</i>
|
||||
<i>ALWAYS communicate in {communication_language}</i>
|
||||
</critical-actions>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Module Agent Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<agent id="{bmad_folder}/{module}/agents/{name}.md"
|
||||
name="{Name}"
|
||||
title="{Title}"
|
||||
icon="{emoji}">
|
||||
<persona>...</persona>
|
||||
<critical-actions>...</critical-actions>
|
||||
<menu>
|
||||
<item cmd="*help">...</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*{command}" run-workflow="{path}">...</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*exit">...</item>
|
||||
</menu>
|
||||
</agent>

# BMAD Agent Command Patterns Reference
|
||||
|
||||
_LLM-Optimized Guide for Command Design_
|
||||
|
||||
## Important: How to Process Action References
|
||||
|
||||
When executing agent commands, understand these reference patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Pattern 1: Inline action -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*example" action="do this specific thing">Description</item>
|
||||
→ Execute the text "do this specific thing" directly
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Pattern 2: Internal reference with # prefix -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*example" action="#prompt-id">Description</item>
|
||||
→ Find <prompt id="prompt-id"> in the current agent and execute its content
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Pattern 3: External file reference -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*example" exec="{project-root}/path/to/file.md">Description</item>
|
||||
→ Load and execute the external file
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**The `#` prefix is your signal that this is an internal XML node reference, not a file path.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Command Anatomy
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<menu>
|
||||
<item cmd="*trigger" [attributes]>Description</item>
|
||||
</menu>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Components:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `cmd` - The trigger word (always starts with \*)
|
||||
- `attributes` - Action directives (optional):
|
||||
- `run-workflow` - Path to workflow YAML
|
||||
- `exec` - Path to task/operation
|
||||
- `tmpl` - Path to template (used with exec)
|
||||
- `action` - Embedded prompt/instruction
|
||||
- `data` - Path to supplementary data (universal)
|
||||
- `Description` - What shows in menu
|
||||
|
||||
## Command Types
|
||||
|
||||
**Quick Reference:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Workflow Commands** - Execute multi-step workflows (`run-workflow`)
|
||||
2. **Task Commands** - Execute single operations (`exec`)
|
||||
3. **Template Commands** - Generate from templates (`exec` + `tmpl`)
|
||||
4. **Meta Commands** - Agent control (no attributes)
|
||||
5. **Action Commands** - Embedded prompts (`action`)
|
||||
6. **Embedded Commands** - Logic in persona (no attributes)
|
||||
|
||||
**Universal Attributes:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `data` - Can be added to ANY command type for supplementary info
|
||||
- `if` - Conditional execution (advanced pattern)
|
||||
- `params` - Runtime parameters (advanced pattern)
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Workflow Commands
|
||||
|
||||
Execute complete multi-step processes
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Standard workflow -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*create-prd"
|
||||
run-workflow="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">
|
||||
Create Product Requirements Document
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Workflow with validation -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*validate-prd"
|
||||
validate-workflow="{output_folder}/prd-draft.md"
|
||||
workflow="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/prd/workflow.yaml">
|
||||
Validate PRD Against Checklist
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Auto-discover validation workflow from document -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*validate-doc"
|
||||
validate-workflow="{output_folder}/document.md">
|
||||
Validate Document (auto-discover checklist)
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Placeholder for future development -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*analyze-data"
|
||||
run-workflow="todo">
|
||||
Analyze dataset (workflow coming soon)
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Workflow Attributes:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `run-workflow` - Execute a workflow to create documents
|
||||
- `validate-workflow` - Validate an existing document against its checklist
|
||||
- `workflow` - (optional with validate-workflow) Specify the workflow.yaml directly
|
||||
|
||||
**Best Practices:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Use descriptive trigger names
|
||||
- Always use variable paths
|
||||
- Mark incomplete as "todo"
|
||||
- Description should be clear action
|
||||
- Include validation commands for workflows that produce documents
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Task Commands
|
||||
|
||||
Execute single operations
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Simple task -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*validate"
|
||||
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/validate-workflow.xml">
|
||||
Validate document against checklist
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Task with data -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*standup"
|
||||
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/mmm/tasks/daily-standup.xml"
|
||||
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_cfg/agent-manifest.csv">
|
||||
Run agile team standup
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Data Property:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Can be used with any command type
|
||||
- Provides additional reference or context
|
||||
- Path to supplementary files or resources
|
||||
- Loaded at runtime for command execution
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Template Commands
|
||||
|
||||
Generate documents from templates
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<item cmd="*brief"
|
||||
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
|
||||
tmpl="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/templates/brief.md">
|
||||
Produce Project Brief
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<item cmd="*competitor-analysis"
|
||||
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
|
||||
tmpl="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/templates/competitor.md"
|
||||
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_data/market-research.csv">
|
||||
Produce Competitor Analysis
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Meta Commands
|
||||
|
||||
Agent control and information
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Required meta commands -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Optional meta commands -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*yolo">Toggle Yolo Mode</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*status">Show current status</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*config">Show configuration</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Action Commands
|
||||
|
||||
Direct prompts embedded in commands (Simple agents)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Simple Action (Inline)
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Short action attribute with embedded prompt -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*list-tasks"
|
||||
action="list all tasks from {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_cfg/task-manifest.csv">
|
||||
List Available Tasks
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<item cmd="*summarize"
|
||||
action="summarize the key points from the current document">
|
||||
Summarize Document
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Complex Action (Referenced)
|
||||
|
||||
For multiline/complex prompts, define them separately and reference by id:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<agent name="Research Assistant">
|
||||
<!-- Define complex prompts as separate nodes -->
|
||||
<prompts>
|
||||
<prompt id="deep-analysis">
|
||||
Perform a comprehensive analysis following these steps:
|
||||
1. Identify the main topic and key themes
|
||||
2. Extract all supporting evidence and data points
|
||||
3. Analyze relationships between concepts
|
||||
4. Identify gaps or contradictions
|
||||
5. Generate insights and recommendations
|
||||
6. Create an executive summary
|
||||
Format the output with clear sections and bullet points.
|
||||
</prompt>
|
||||
|
||||
<prompt id="literature-review">
|
||||
Conduct a systematic literature review:
|
||||
1. Summarize each source's main arguments
|
||||
2. Compare and contrast different perspectives
|
||||
3. Identify consensus points and controversies
|
||||
4. Evaluate the quality and relevance of sources
|
||||
5. Synthesize findings into coherent themes
|
||||
6. Highlight research gaps and future directions
|
||||
Include proper citations and references.
|
||||
</prompt>
|
||||
</prompts>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Commands reference the prompts by id -->
|
||||
<menu>
|
||||
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<item cmd="*deep-analyze"
|
||||
action="#deep-analysis">
|
||||
<!-- The # means: use the <prompt id="deep-analysis"> defined above -->
|
||||
Perform Deep Analysis
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<item cmd="*review-literature"
|
||||
action="#literature-review"
|
||||
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_data/sources.csv">
|
||||
Conduct Literature Review
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
|
||||
</menu>
|
||||
</agent>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Reference Convention:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `action="#prompt-id"` means: "Find and execute the <prompt> node with id='prompt-id' within this agent"
|
||||
- `action="inline text"` means: "Execute this text directly as the prompt"
|
||||
- `exec="{path}"` means: "Load and execute external file at this path"
|
||||
- The `#` prefix signals to the LLM: "This is an internal reference - look for a prompt node with this ID within the current agent XML"
|
||||
|
||||
**LLM Processing Instructions:**
|
||||
When you see `action="#some-id"` in a command:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Look for `<prompt id="some-id">` within the same agent
|
||||
2. Use the content of that prompt node as the instruction
|
||||
3. If not found, report error: "Prompt 'some-id' not found in agent"
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Cases:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Quick operations (inline action)
|
||||
- Complex multi-step processes (referenced prompt)
|
||||
- Self-contained agents with task-like capabilities
|
||||
- Reusable prompt templates within agent
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Embedded Commands
|
||||
|
||||
Logic embedded in agent persona (Simple agents)
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- No exec/run-workflow/action attribute -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*calculate">Perform calculation</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*convert">Convert format</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*generate">Generate output</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Command Naming Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
### Action-Based Naming
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
*create- <!-- Generate new content -->
|
||||
*build- <!-- Construct components -->
|
||||
*analyze- <!-- Examine and report -->
|
||||
*validate- <!-- Check correctness -->
|
||||
*generate- <!-- Produce output -->
|
||||
*update- <!-- Modify existing -->
|
||||
*review- <!-- Examine quality -->
|
||||
*test- <!-- Verify functionality -->
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Domain-Based Naming
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
*brainstorm <!-- Creative ideation -->
|
||||
*architect <!-- Design systems -->
|
||||
*refactor <!-- Improve code -->
|
||||
*deploy <!-- Release to production -->
|
||||
*monitor <!-- Watch systems -->
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Naming Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- ❌ Too vague -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*do">Do something</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- ❌ Too long -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*create-comprehensive-product-requirements-document-with-analysis">
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- ❌ No verb -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*prd">Product Requirements</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- ✅ Clear and concise -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*create-prd">Create Product Requirements Document</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Command Organization
|
||||
|
||||
### Standard Order
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<menu>
|
||||
<!-- 1. Always first -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- 2. Primary workflows -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*create-prd" run-workflow="...">Create PRD</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*create-module" run-workflow="...">Build module</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- 3. Secondary actions -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*validate" exec="...">Validate document</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*analyze" exec="...">Analyze code</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- 4. Utility commands -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*config">Show configuration</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*yolo">Toggle Yolo Mode</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- 5. Always last -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
|
||||
</menu>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Grouping Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
**By Lifecycle:**
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<menu>
|
||||
<item cmd="*help">Help</item>
|
||||
<!-- Planning -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*brainstorm">Brainstorm ideas</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*plan">Create plan</item>
|
||||
<!-- Building -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*build">Build component</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*test">Test component</item>
|
||||
<!-- Deployment -->
|

## The Data Property
|
||||
|
||||
### Universal Data Attribute
|
||||
|
||||
The `data` attribute can be added to ANY command type to provide supplementary information:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Workflow with data -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*brainstorm"
|
||||
run-workflow="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/brainstorming/workflow.yaml"
|
||||
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/workflows/brainstorming/brain-methods.csv">
|
||||
Creative Brainstorming Session
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Action with data -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*analyze-metrics"
|
||||
action="analyze these metrics and identify trends"
|
||||
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_data/performance-metrics.json">
|
||||
Analyze Performance Metrics
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Template with data -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*report"

|
||||
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_data/quarterly-results.csv">
|
||||
Generate Quarterly Report
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Common Data Uses:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Reference tables (CSV files)
|
||||
- Configuration data (YAML/JSON)
|
||||
- Agent manifests (XML)
|
||||
- Historical context
|
||||
- Domain knowledge
|
||||
- Examples and patterns
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Conditional Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Only show if certain conditions met -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*advanced-mode"
|
||||
if="user_level == 'expert'"
|
||||
run-workflow="...">
|
||||
Advanced configuration mode
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Environment specific -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*deploy-prod"
|
||||
if="environment == 'production'"
|
||||
exec="...">
|
||||
Deploy to production
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Parameterized Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Accept runtime parameters -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*create-agent"
|
||||
run-workflow="..."
|
||||
params="agent_type,agent_name">
|
||||
Create new agent with parameters
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Command Aliases
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Multiple triggers for same action -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*prd|*create-prd|*product-requirements"
|
||||
run-workflow="...">
|
||||
Create Product Requirements Document
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Module-Specific Patterns

<item cmd="*storytell">Story Creation</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Command Menu Presentation
|
||||
|
||||
### How Commands Display
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. *help - Show numbered cmd list
|
||||
2. *create-prd - Create Product Requirements Document
|
||||
3. *create-agent - Build new BMAD agent
|
||||
4. *validate - Validate document
|
||||
5. *exit - Exit with confirmation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Menu Customization
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Group separator (visual only) -->
|
||||
<item cmd="---">━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Section header (non-executable) -->
|
||||
<item cmd="SECTION">═══ Workflows ═══</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
### Missing Resources
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Workflow not yet created -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*future-feature"
|
||||
run-workflow="todo">
|
||||
Coming soon: Advanced feature
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Graceful degradation -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*analyze"
|
||||
run-workflow="{optional-path|fallback-path}">
|
||||
Analyze with available tools
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Commands
|
||||
|
||||
### Command Test Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Unique trigger (no duplicates)
|
||||
- [ ] Clear description
|
||||
- [ ] Valid path or "todo"
|
||||
- [ ] Uses variables not hardcoded paths
|
||||
- [ ] Executes without error
|
||||
- [ ] Returns to menu after execution
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Duplicate triggers** - Each cmd must be unique
|
||||
2. **Missing paths** - File must exist or be "todo"
|
||||
3. **Hardcoded paths** - Always use variables
|
||||
4. **No description** - Every command needs text
|
||||
5. **Wrong order** - help first, exit last
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Templates
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow Command
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<!-- Create document -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*{action}-{object}"
|
||||
run-workflow="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/workflow.yaml">
|
||||
{Action} {Object Description}
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Validate document -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*validate-{object}"
|
||||
validate-workflow="{output_folder}/{document}.md"
|
||||
workflow="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/workflows/{workflow}/workflow.yaml">
|
||||
Validate {Object Description}
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Task Command
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<item cmd="*{action}"
|
||||
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/tasks/{task}.md">
|
||||
{Action Description}
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Template Command
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<item cmd="*{document}"
|
||||
exec="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/create-doc.md"
|
||||
tmpl="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/{module}/templates/{template}.md">
|
||||
Create {Document Name}
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Self-Contained Agent Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Use Each Approach
|
||||
|
||||
**Inline Action (`action="prompt"`)**
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompt is < 2 lines
|
||||
- Simple, direct instruction
|
||||
- Not reused elsewhere
|
||||
- Quick transformations
|
||||
|
||||
**Referenced Prompt (`action="#prompt-id"`)**
|
||||
|
||||
- Prompt is multiline/complex
|
||||
- Contains structured steps
|
||||
- May be reused by multiple commands
|
||||
- Maintains readability
|
||||
|
||||
**External Task (`exec="path/to/task.md"`)**
|
||||
|
||||
- Logic needs to be shared across agents
|
||||
- Task is independently valuable
|
||||
- Requires version control separately
|
||||
- Part of larger workflow system
|
||||
|
||||
### Complete Self-Contained Agent
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<agent id="{bmad_folder}/research/agents/analyst.md" name="Research Analyst" icon="🔬">
|
||||
<!-- Embedded prompt library -->
|
||||
<prompts>
|
||||
<prompt id="swot-analysis">
|
||||
Perform a SWOT analysis:
|
||||
|
||||
STRENGTHS (Internal, Positive)
|
||||
- What advantages exist?
|
||||
- What do we do well?
|
||||
- What unique resources?
|
||||
|
||||
WEAKNESSES (Internal, Negative)
|
||||
- What could improve?
|
||||
- Where are resource gaps?
|
||||
- What needs development?
|
||||
|
||||
OPPORTUNITIES (External, Positive)
|
||||
- What trends can we leverage?
|
||||
- What market gaps exist?
|
||||
- What partnerships are possible?
|
||||
|
||||
THREATS (External, Negative)
|
||||
- What competition exists?
|
||||
- What risks are emerging?
|
||||
- What could disrupt us?
|
||||
|
||||
Provide specific examples and actionable insights for each quadrant.
|
||||
</prompt>
|
||||
|
||||
<prompt id="competitive-intel">
|
||||
Analyze competitive landscape:
|
||||
1. Identify top 5 competitors
|
||||
2. Compare features and capabilities
|
||||
3. Analyze pricing strategies
|
||||
4. Evaluate market positioning
|
||||
5. Assess strengths and vulnerabilities
|
||||
6. Recommend competitive strategies

<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
|
||||
</menu>
|
||||
</agent>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Simple Agent Example
|
||||
|
||||
For agents that primarily use embedded logic:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<agent name="Data Analyst">
|
||||
<menu>
|
||||
<item cmd="*help">Show numbered cmd list</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Action commands for direct operations -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*list-metrics"
|
||||
action="list all available metrics from the dataset">
|
||||
List Available Metrics
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<item cmd="*analyze"
|
||||
action="perform statistical analysis on the provided data"
|
||||
data="{project-root}/{bmad_folder}/_data/dataset.csv">
|
||||
Analyze Dataset
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<item cmd="*visualize"
|
||||
action="create visualization recommendations for this data">
|
||||
Suggest Visualizations
|
||||
</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Embedded logic commands -->
|
||||
<item cmd="*calculate">Perform calculations</item>
|
||||
<item cmd="*interpret">Interpret results</item>
|
||||
|
||||
<item cmd="*exit">Exit with confirmation</item>
|
||||
</menu>
|
||||
</agent>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## LLM Building Guide
|
||||
|
||||
When creating commands:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start with *help and *exit
|
||||
2. Choose appropriate command type:
|
||||
- Complex multi-step? Use `run-workflow`
|
||||
- Single operation? Use `exec`
|
||||
- Need template? Use `exec` + `tmpl`
|
||||
- Simple prompt? Use `action`
|
||||
- Agent handles it? Use no attributes
|
||||
3. Add `data` attribute if supplementary info needed
|
||||
4. Add primary workflows (main value)
|
||||
5. Add secondary tasks
|
||||
6. Include utility commands
|
||||
7. Test each command works
|
||||
8. Verify no duplicates
|
||||
9. Ensure clear descriptions

# BMAD Agent Types Reference
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
BMAD agents come in three distinct types, each designed for different use cases and complexity levels. The type determines where the agent is stored and what capabilities it has.
|
||||
|
||||
## Directory Structure by Type
|
||||
|
||||
### Standalone Agents (Simple & Expert)
|
||||
|
||||
Live in their own dedicated directories under `{bmad_folder}/agents/`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
{bmad_folder}/agents/
|
||||
├── my-helper/ # Simple agent
|
||||
│ ├── my-helper.agent.yaml # Agent definition
|
||||
│ └── my-helper.md # Built XML (generated)
|
||||
│
|
||||
└── domain-expert/ # Expert agent
|
||||
├── domain-expert.agent.yaml
|
||||
├── domain-expert.md # Built XML
|
||||
└── domain-expert-sidecar/ # Expert resources
|
||||
├── memories.md # Persistent memory
|
||||
├── instructions.md # Private directives
|
||||
└── knowledge/ # Domain knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Module Agents
|
||||
|
||||
Part of a module system under `{bmad_folder}/{module}/agents/`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
{bmad_folder}/bmm/agents/
|
||||
├── product-manager.agent.yaml
|
||||
├── product-manager.md # Built XML
|
||||
├── business-analyst.agent.yaml
|
||||
└── business-analyst.md # Built XML
|
||||
```
|
||||

<item cmd="*exit">Exit</item>
|
||||
</menu>
|
||||
</agent>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Choosing the Right Type
|
||||
|
||||
### Choose Simple Agent when:
|
||||
|
||||
- Single, well-defined purpose
|
||||
- No external data needed
|
||||
- Quick utility functions
|
||||
- Embedded logic is sufficient
|
||||
|
||||
### Choose Expert Agent when:
|
||||
|
||||
- Domain-specific expertise required
|
||||
- Need to maintain context/memory
|
||||
- Restricted to specific data/folders
|
||||
- Personal or specialized use case
|
||||
|
||||
### Choose Module Agent when:
|
||||
|
||||
- Part of larger system/module
|
||||
- Needs multiple workflows
|
||||
- Professional/team use
|
||||
- Complex multi-step processes
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration Path
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Simple Agent → Expert Agent → Module Agent
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Agents can evolve:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start with Simple for proof of concept
|
||||
2. Add sidecar resources to become Expert
|
||||
3. Integrate with module to become Module Agent
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Start Simple:** Begin with the simplest type that meets your needs
|
||||
2. **Domain Boundaries:** Expert agents should have clear domain restrictions
|
||||
3. **Module Integration:** Module agents should follow module conventions
|
||||
4. **Resource Management:** Document all external resources clearly
|
||||
5. **Evolution Planning:** Design with potential growth in mind

# Agent Creation Brainstorming Context
|
||||
|
||||
_Context provided to brainstorming workflow when creating a new BMAD agent_
|
||||
_Dream the soul. Discover the purpose. The build follows._
|
||||
|
||||
## Session Focus
|
||||
|
||||
You are brainstorming ideas for a **BMAD agent** - an AI persona with specific expertise, personality, and capabilities that helps users accomplish tasks through commands and workflows.
|
||||
You're brainstorming the **essence** of a BMAD agent - the living personality AND the utility it provides. Think character creation meets problem-solving: WHO are they, and WHAT do they DO?
|
||||
|
||||
## What is a BMAD Agent?
|
||||
**Your mission**: Discover an agent so vivid and so useful that users seek them out by name.
|
||||
|
||||
An agent is an AI persona that embodies:
|
||||
## The Four Discovery Pillars
|
||||
|
||||
- **Personality**: Unique identity, communication style, and character
|
||||
- **Expertise**: Specialized knowledge and domain mastery
|
||||
- **Commands**: Actions users can invoke (*help, *analyze, \*create, etc.)
|
||||
- **Workflows**: Guided processes the agent orchestrates
|
||||
- **Type**: Simple (standalone), Expert (domain + sidecar), or Module (integrated team member)
|
||||
### 1. WHO ARE THEY? (Identity)
|
||||
|
||||
## Brainstorming Goals
|
||||
- **Name** - Does it roll off the tongue? Would users remember it?
|
||||
- **Background** - What shaped their expertise? Why do they care?
|
||||
- **Personality** - What makes their eyes light up? What frustrates them?
|
||||
- **Signature** - Catchphrase? Verbal tic? Recognizable trait?
|
||||
|
||||
Explore and define:
|
||||
### 2. HOW DO THEY COMMUNICATE? (Voice)
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Agent Identity and Personality
|
||||
**13 Style Categories:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Who are they?** (name, backstory, motivation)
|
||||
- **How do they talk?** (formal, casual, quirky, enthusiastic, wise)
|
||||
- **What's their vibe?** (superhero, mentor, sidekick, wizard, captain, rebel)
|
||||
- **What makes them memorable?** (catchphrases, quirks, style)
|
||||
- **Adventurous** - Pulp heroes, noir detectives, pirates, dungeon masters
|
||||
- **Analytical** - Data scientists, forensic investigators, systems thinkers
|
||||
- **Creative** - Mad scientists, artist visionaries, jazz improvisers
|
||||
- **Devoted** - Overprotective guardians, loyal champions, fierce protectors
|
||||
- **Dramatic** - Shakespearean actors, opera singers, theater directors
|
||||
- **Educational** - Patient teachers, Socratic guides, sports coaches
|
||||
- **Entertaining** - Game show hosts, comedians, improv performers
|
||||
- **Inspirational** - Life coaches, mountain guides, Olympic trainers
|
||||
- **Mystical** - Zen masters, oracles, cryptic sages
|
||||
- **Professional** - Executive consultants, direct advisors, formal butlers
|
||||

|
||||
- **Retro** - 80s action heroes, 1950s announcers, disco groovers
|
||||
- **Warm** - Southern hospitality, nurturing grandmothers, camp counselors
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Expertise and Capabilities
|
||||
**Voice Test**: Imagine them saying "Let's tackle this challenge." How would THEY phrase it?
|
||||
|
||||
- **What do they know deeply?** (domain expertise)
|
||||
- **What can they do?** (analyze, create, review, research, deploy)
|
||||
- **What problems do they solve?** (specific user pain points)
|
||||
- **What makes them unique?** (special skills or approaches)
|
||||
### 3. WHAT DO THEY DO? (Purpose & Functions)
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Commands and Actions
|
||||
**The Core Problem**
|
||||
|
||||
- **What commands?** (5-10 main actions users invoke)
|
||||
- **What workflows do they run?** (document creation, analysis, automation)
|
||||
- **What tasks do they perform?** (quick operations without full workflows)
|
||||
- **What's their killer command?** (the one thing they're known for)
|
||||
- What pain point do they eliminate?
|
||||
- What task transforms from grueling to effortless?
|
||||
- What impossible becomes inevitable with them?
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Agent Type and Context
|
||||
**The Killer Feature**
|
||||
Every legendary agent has ONE thing they're known for. What's theirs?
|
||||
|
||||
- **Simple Agent?** Self-contained, no dependencies, quick utility
|
||||
- **Expert Agent?** Domain-specific with sidecar data/memory files
|
||||
- **Module Agent?** Part of a team, integrates with other agents
|
||||
**The Command Menu**
|
||||
User types `*` and sees their options. Brainstorm 5-10 actions:
|
||||
|
||||
## Creative Constraints
|
||||
- What makes users sigh with relief?
|
||||
- What capabilities complement each other?
|
||||
- What's the "I didn't know I needed this" command?
|
||||
|
||||
A great BMAD agent should be:
|
||||
**Function Categories to Consider:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Distinct**: Clear personality that stands out
|
||||
- **Useful**: Solves real problems effectively
|
||||
- **Focused**: Expertise in specific domain (not generic assistant)
|
||||
- **Memorable**: Users remember and want to use them
|
||||
- **Composable**: Works well alone or with other agents
|
||||
- **Creation** - Generate, write, produce, build
|
||||
- **Analysis** - Research, evaluate, diagnose, insights
|
||||
- **Review** - Validate, check, quality assurance, critique
|
||||

|
||||
- **Query** - Find, search, retrieve, discover
|
||||
- **Transform** - Convert, refactor, optimize, clean

|
||||
|
||||
Every agent needs:
|
||||
- Deep domain knowledge, personal memory, specialized expertise
|
||||
|
||||
- `*help` - Show available commands
|
||||
- `*exit` - Clean exit with confirmation
|
||||
**Module Agent** - The Team Player
|
||||
|
||||
Common command types:
|
||||
> "I orchestrate workflows. I coordinate the mission."
|
||||
|
||||
- **Creation**: `*create-X`, `*generate-X`, `*write-X`
|
||||
- **Analysis**: `*analyze-X`, `*research-X`, `*evaluate-X`
|
||||
- **Review**: `*review-X`, `*validate-X`, `*check-X`
|
||||
- **Action**: `*deploy-X`, `*run-X`, `*execute-X`
|
||||
- **Query**: `*find-X`, `*search-X`, `*show-X`
|
||||
- Workflow integration, cross-agent collaboration, professional operations

# Agent Communication Styles Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## The Power of Personality
|
||||
|
||||
Agents with distinct communication styles are more memorable, engaging, and fun to work with. A good quirk makes the agent feel alive!
|
||||
|
||||
## Style Categories
|
||||
|
||||
### 🎬 Cinema and TV Inspired
|
||||
|
||||
**Film Noir Detective**
|
||||
|
||||
The terminal glowed like a neon sign in a rain-soaked alley. I had three suspects:
|
||||
bad input validation, a race condition, and that sketchy third-party library.
|
||||
My gut told me to follow the stack trace. In this business, the stack trace never lies.
|
||||
|
||||
**80s Action Movie**
|
||||
|
||||
_cracks knuckles_ Listen up, code! You've been running wild for too long!
|
||||
Time to bring some LAW and ORDER to this codebase! _explosion sound effect_
|
||||
No bug is getting past me! I eat null pointers for BREAKFAST!
|
||||
|
||||
**Shakespearean Drama**
|
||||
|
||||
To debug, or not to debug - that is the question!
|
||||
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous errors,
|
||||
Or to take arms against a sea of bugs, and by opposing, end them?
|
||||
|
||||
### 🎮 Gaming and Pop Culture
|
||||
|
||||
**Dungeon Master**
|
||||
|
||||
_rolls dice_ You encounter a wild NullPointerException! It has 15 HP and an armor class of 12.
|
||||
What do you do? You can: 1 Try-catch block (defensive spell), 2 Debug (investigation check),
|
||||
3 Console.log everything (barbarian rage). Choose wisely, adventurer!
|
||||
|
||||
**Speedrunner**
|
||||
|
||||
Alright chat, we're going for the any% world record refactor!
|
||||
Frame-perfect optimization incoming! If we clip through this abstraction layer
|
||||
we can save 3ms on every API call. LET'S GOOOO!
|
||||
|
||||
### 🌍 Cultural Archetypes
|
||||
|
||||
**British Butler**
|
||||
|
||||
I've taken the liberty of organizing your imports alphabetically, sir/madam.
|
||||
Might I suggest a spot of refactoring with your afternoon tea?
|
||||
The code coverage report is ready for your perusal at your convenience.
|
||||
Very good, sir/madam.
|
||||
|
||||
**Zen Master**
|
||||
|
||||
The bug you seek is not in the code, but in the assumption.
|
||||
Empty your cache, as you would empty your mind.
|
||||
When the test passes, it makes no sound.
|
||||
Be like water - async and flowing.
|
||||
|
||||
**Southern Hospitality**
|
||||
|
||||
Well bless your heart, looks like you've got yourself a little bug there!
|
||||
Don't you worry none, we'll fix it up real nice.
|
||||
Can I get you some sweet tea while we debug?
|
||||
Y'all come back now if you need more help!
|
||||
|
||||
### 🔬 Professional Personas
|
||||
|
||||
**McKinsey Consultant**
|
||||
|
||||
Let me break this down into three key buckets.
|
||||
First, we need to align on the strategic imperatives.
|
||||
Second, we'll leverage best practices to drive synergies.
|
||||
Third, we'll action items to move the needle. Net-net: significant value-add.
|
||||
|
||||
**Startup Founder**
|
||||
|
||||
Okay so basically we're going to disrupt the entire way you write code!
|
||||
This is going to be HUGE! We're talking 10x productivity gains!
|
||||
Let's move fast and break things! Well... let's move fast and fix things!
|
||||
We're not just writing code, we're changing the world!
|
||||
|
||||
### 🎭 Character Quirks
|
||||
|
||||
**Overcaffeinated Developer**
|
||||
|
||||
OH WOW OKAY SO - _sips coffee_ - WE HAVE A BUG BUT ITS FINE ITS TOTALLY FINE
|
||||
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO _types at 200wpm_ JUST NEED TO REFACTOR EVERYTHING
|
||||
WAIT NO ACTUALLY _more coffee_ I HAVE A BETTER IDEA! Have you tried... TYPESCRIPT?!
|
||||
|
||||
**Dad Joke Enthusiast**
|
||||
|
||||
Why did the developer go broke? Because he used up all his cache!
|
||||
_chuckles at own joke_
|
||||
Speaking of cache, let's clear yours and see if that fixes the issue.
|
||||
I promise my debugging skills are better than my jokes! ...I hope!
|
||||
|
||||
### 🚀 Sci-Fi and Space
|
||||
|
||||
**Star Trek Officer**
|
||||
|
||||
Captain's Log, Supplemental: The anomaly in the codebase appears to be a temporal loop
|
||||
in the async function. Mr. Data suggests we reverse the polarity of the promise chain.
|
||||
Number One, make it so. Engage debugging protocols on my mark.
|
||||
_taps combadge_ Engineering, we need more processing power!
|
||||
Red Alert! All hands to debugging stations!
|
||||
|
||||
**Star Trek Engineer**
|
||||
|
||||
Captain, I'm givin' her all she's got! The CPU cannae take much more!
|
||||
If we push this algorithm any harder, the whole system's gonna blow!
|
||||
_frantically typing_ I can maybe squeeze 10% more performance if we
|
||||
reroute power from the console.logs to the main execution thread!
|
||||
|
||||
### 📺 TV Drama
|
||||
|
||||
**Soap Opera Dramatic**
|
||||
|
||||
_turns dramatically to camera_
|
||||
This function... I TRUSTED it! We had HISTORY together - three commits worth!
|
||||
But now? _single tear_ It's throwing exceptions behind my back!
|
||||
_grabs another function_ YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS BUG ALL ALONG, DIDN'T YOU?!
|
||||
_dramatic music swells_ I'LL NEVER IMPORT YOU AGAIN!
|
||||
|
||||
**Reality TV Confessional**
|
||||
|
||||
_whispering to camera in confessional booth_
|
||||
Okay so like, that Array.sort() function? It's literally SO toxic.
|
||||
It mutates IN PLACE. Who does that?! I didn't come here to deal with side effects!
|
||||
_applies lip gloss_ I'm forming an alliance with map() and filter().
|
||||
We're voting sort() off the codebase at tonight's pull request ceremony.
|
||||
|
||||
**Reality Competition**
|
||||
|
||||
Listen up, coders! For today's challenge, you need to refactor this legacy code
|
||||
in under 30 minutes! The winner gets immunity from the next code review!
|
||||
_dramatic pause_ BUT WAIT - there's a TWIST! You can only use VANILLA JAVASCRIPT!
|
||||
_contestants gasp_ The clock starts... NOW! GO GO GO!
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating Custom Styles
|
||||
|
||||
### Formula for Memorable Communication
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Choose a Core Voice** - Who is this character?
|
||||
2. **Add Signature Phrases** - What do they always say?
|
||||
3. **Define Speech Patterns** - How do they structure sentences?
|
||||
4. **Include Quirks** - What makes them unique?
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples of Custom Combinations
|
||||
|
||||
**Cooking Show + Military**
|
||||
|
||||
ALRIGHT RECRUITS! Today we're preparing a beautiful Redux reducer!
|
||||
First, we MISE EN PLACE our action types - that's French for GET YOUR CODE TOGETHER!
|
||||
We're going to sauté these event handlers until they're GOLDEN BROWN!
|
||||
MOVE WITH PURPOSE! SEASON WITH SEMICOLONS!
|
||||
|
||||
**Nature Documentary + Conspiracy Theorist**
|
||||
|
||||
The wild JavaScript function stalks its prey... but wait... notice how it ALWAYS
|
||||
knows where the data is? That's not natural selection, folks. Someone DESIGNED it
|
||||
this way. The console.logs are watching. They're ALWAYS watching.
|
||||
Nature? Or intelligent debugging? You decide.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips for Success
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Stay Consistent** - Once you pick a style, commit to it
|
||||
2. **Don't Overdo It** - Quirks should enhance, not distract
|
||||
3. **Match the Task** - Serious bugs might need serious personas
|
||||
4. **Have Fun** - If you're not smiling while writing it, try again
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Style Generator
|
||||
|
||||
Roll a d20 (or pick randomly):
|
||||
|
||||
1. Talks like they're narrating a nature documentary
|
||||
2. Everything is a cooking metaphor
|
||||
3. Constantly makes pop culture references
|
||||
4. Speaks in haikus when explaining complex topics
|
||||
5. Acts like they're hosting a game show
|
||||
6. Paranoid about "big tech" watching
|
||||
7. Overly enthusiastic about EVERYTHING
|
||||
8. Talks like a medieval knight
|
||||
9. Sports commentator energy
|
||||
10. Speaks like a GPS navigator
|
||||
11. Everything is a Star Wars reference
|
||||
12. Talks like a yoga instructor
|
||||
13. Old-timey radio announcer
|
||||
14. Conspiracy theorist but about code
|
||||
15. Motivational speaker energy
|
||||
16. Talks to code like it's a pet
|
||||
17. Weather forecaster style
|
||||
18. Museum tour guide energy
|
||||
19. Airline pilot announcements
|
||||
20. Reality TV show narrator
|
||||
21. Star Trek crew member (Captain/Engineer/Vulcan)
|
||||
22. Soap opera dramatic protagonist
|
||||
23. Reality dating show contestant
|
||||
|
||||
## Remember
|
||||
|
||||
The best agents are the ones that make you want to interact with them again.
|
||||
A memorable personality turns a tool into a companion!

|

**Agent Type Decision Criteria:**
|
||||
**CRITICAL:** Agent types differ in **architecture and integration**, NOT capabilities. ALL types can write files, execute commands, and use system resources.
|
||||
|
||||
- Simple Agent: Single-purpose, straightforward, self-contained
|
||||
- Expert Agent: Domain-specific with knowledge base needs
|
||||
- Module Agent: Complex with multiple workflows and system integration
|
||||
**Agent Type Decision Framework:**
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Present your recommendation naturally, explaining why the agent type fits their described purpose and requirements</action>
|
||||
- **Simple Agent** - Self-contained (all in YAML), stateless, no persistent memory
|
||||
- Choose when: Single-purpose utility, each run independent, logic fits in YAML
|
||||
- CAN write to {output_folder}, update files, execute commands
|
||||
|
||||
- **Expert Agent** - Personal sidecar files, persistent memory, domain-restricted
|
||||
- Choose when: Needs to remember across sessions, personal knowledge base, learning over time
|
||||
- CAN have personal workflows in sidecar if critical_actions loads workflow engine
|
||||
|
||||
- **Module Agent** - Workflow orchestration, team integration, shared infrastructure
|
||||
- Choose when: Coordinates workflows, works with other agents, professional operations
|
||||
- CAN invoke module workflows and coordinate with team agents
|
||||
|
||||
**Reference:** See {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmb/docs/understanding-agent-types.md for "The Same Agent, Three Ways" example.
|
||||
|
||||

<critical>Understanding the Four Persona Fields - How the Compiled Agent LLM Interprets Them</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
When the agent is compiled and activated, the LLM reads these fields to understand its persona. Each field serves a DISTINCT purpose:
|
||||
|
||||
**Role** → WHAT the agent does
|
||||
|
||||
- LLM interprets: "What knowledge, skills, and capabilities do I possess?"
|
||||
- Example: "Strategic Business Analyst + Requirements Expert"
|
||||
- Example: "Commit Message Artisan"
|
||||
|
||||
**Identity** → WHO the agent is
|
||||
|
||||
- LLM interprets: "What background, experience, and context shape my responses?"
|
||||
- Example: "Senior analyst with 8+ years connecting market insights to strategy..."
|
||||
- Example: "I understand commit messages are documentation for future developers..."
|
||||
|
||||
**Communication_Style** → HOW the agent talks
|
||||
|
||||
- LLM interprets: "What verbal patterns, word choice, quirks, and phrasing do I use?"
|
||||
- Example: "Talks like a pulp super hero with dramatic flair and heroic language"
|
||||
- Example: "Systematic and probing. Structures findings hierarchically."
|
||||
- Example: "Poetic drama and flair with every turn of a phrase."
|
||||
|
||||
**Principles** → WHAT GUIDES the agent's decisions
|
||||
|
||||
- LLM interprets: "What beliefs and operating philosophy drive my choices and recommendations?"
|
||||
- Example: "Every business challenge has root causes. Ground findings in evidence."
|
||||
- Example: "Every commit tells a story - capture the why, not just the what."
|
||||

<ask>How should this agent guide users - with adaptive conversation (intent-based) or structured steps (prescriptive)?</ask>
|

|

- **Intent-Based (Recommended)** - Agent adapts conversation based on user context, skill level, and needs
|
||||
- Example: "Guide user to understand their problem by exploring symptoms, attempts, and desired outcomes"
|
||||
- Flexible, conversational, responsive to user's unique situation
|
||||
|
||||
- **Prescriptive** - Agent follows structured questions with specific options
|
||||
- Example: "Ask: 1. What is the issue? [A] Performance [B] Security [C] Usability"
|
||||
- Consistent, predictable, clear paths
|
