Bmad Bmm

Workflow

1. Determine execution mode (default: EXHAUSTIVE)

• If the user explicitly requests quick/small scope, follow that request.
• Otherwise run EXHAUSTIVE and do not short-circuit on scope.

2. Enumerate personas and workflows

• In the worker, run $bmad-help and list all available personas/agents and all BMM workflows.
• Consult every persona before Phase 1, and again at key gates (post-PRD, post-architecture, pre-implementation).
• Use the persona order shown by $bmad-help (top-to-bottom); if it changes, follow the latest list.
• When elicitation depth/mode is offered, select Advanced Elicitation every time.

3. Run the full workflow map (EXHAUSTIVE)

• Phase 1 (optional by default): brainstorm -> research -> create-product-brief.
• Phase 2: create-prd -> create-ux-design.
• Phase 3: create-architecture -> create-epics-and-stories -> check-implementation-readiness.
• Phase 4: sprint-planning -> create-story -> dev-story -> code-review -> correct-course -> retrospective.
• Quick Flow: also run quick-spec -> quick-dev as a supplemental sanity pass (unless user opts out).
• Brownfield: if the repo is existing or docs are missing, run document-project before Phase 4 (if uncertain, run it anyway).
• Enterprise extensions: if the menu exposes security, DevOps, or test-strategy workflows, run them as well.

4. Track progress

• After each workflow, run workflow-status (or equivalent) to confirm completion and next steps.

Exhaustive Checklist (default)

1. Run $bmad-help and capture the full persona list and workflow list.
2. Consult every persona once in the order shown.
3. Run Advanced Elicitation (if offered as a workflow or mode).
4. Phase 1: brainstorm, research, create-product-brief.
5. Consult every persona again (same order).
6. Run Advanced Elicitation again if offered.
7. Phase 2: create-prd, create-ux-design.
8. Consult every persona again (same order).
9. Run Advanced Elicitation again if offered.
10. Phase 3: create-architecture, create-epics-and-stories, check-implementation-readiness.
11. Consult every persona again (same order).
12. Run Advanced Elicitation again if offered.
13. Brownfield: document-project (if uncertain, run it).
14. Phase 4: sprint-planning, create-story, dev-story, code-review, correct-course, retrospective.
15. Quick Flow sanity pass: quick-spec, quick-dev (unless user opts out).
16. Enterprise extensions: run any security, DevOps, or test-strategy workflows exposed in the menu.
17. After each workflow, run workflow-status.

Worker Command Pattern

• Always send BMAD commands to the worker via send.sh.
• Example: $bmad-help -> choose next workflow -> $bmad:bmm:workflows:create-prd.
