SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

BMAD Micro helps you complete small, local repository changes quickly without the overhead of a full planning ceremony or separate worktree. It keeps quality and governance checks in place so narrow edits stay safe and controlled.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Small-scope execution: Handles button tweaks, CSS fixes, copy edits, minor bug fixes, and small config adjustments.
  • Guardrail-first workflow: Requires a micro brief, CTO rule review, universal CTO facet mapping, and repo-10x validation before finishing.
  • Built-in escalation: Stops early when the change grows beyond a few files, touches auth or APIs, or needs deeper refactoring.
  • Use case: A developer needs a one-line UI text change in an existing component and wants the assistant to apply it safely without starting a full BMAD project.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to use BMAD Micro for a small local change, name the target files, and describe the desired outcome in one sentence.

FAQPage Schema
How do I apply small code changes without triggering a full development workflow?

To apply small code changes without a full workflow, you can use a micro brief to execute button tweaks, CSS fixes, copy edits, and minor bug fixes locally. This approach bypasses heavy planning ceremonies while retaining CTO rule reviews and quality gate validation.

What is a micro brief for local code editing?

A micro brief for local code editing is a concise, one-sentence description of the desired outcome that guides narrow modifications. It targets specific files for small adjustments, ensuring changes stay within a few files while enforcing repo-10x guardrails and universal CTO facet checks.

How do I ensure repo governance and quality gates are met for minor bug fixes?

To ensure repo governance and quality gates are met for minor bug fixes, the assistant performs universal CTO facet checks, applies repo-10x guardrails, and validates quality gates before completion. This guardrail-first workflow keeps narrow edits safe and controlled.

When should I avoid using a micro workflow for code editing?

You should avoid using a micro workflow for code editing when a change grows beyond a few files, touches authentication or APIs, or requires deeper refactoring. The process stops early and escalates to prevent uncontrolled modifications in these scenarios.

Can I use this approach for config adjustments without a separate worktree?

Yes, you can use this approach for small config adjustments without requiring a separate worktree. It handles narrow modifications locally, applying CTO rule reviews and quality gate validation directly to the target files.

Does this small-scope execution method work for one-line UI text changes?

Yes, this small-scope execution method works for one-line UI text changes in existing components. It safely applies the edit without starting a full BMAD project, provided the change stays within the defined file limits and passes CTO rule review.
