What problem does it solve?

BMAD Architecture Standards provide explicit, testable guidelines to ensure AI agents and human stakeholders align on architecture decisions, reducing ambiguity and drift between requirements and implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Decision Completeness: require explicit, versioned decisions with rationale and defined scope.
• Pattern Specificity: deliver concrete naming conventions, directory structures, payload formats, and process patterns for cross-agent compatibility.
• Structure Concreteness: mandate a complete, technology-specific project structure with all configuration, source, test, and build files, mapped to requirements.
• Reference Data & Evidence: include reference materials (references/arch-purpose.md) to guide starter templates and validation.

Quick Start

Draft your first architecture decision document using BMAD standards, ensuring explicit rationale, versioning, and clear mapping to requirements.
