Stop winging it. There's a method for this.

You know the loop: throw a prompt at the AI, get something back, realize it built the wrong thing, start over. It's not the AI's fault. There was no plan.

BMAD (Build More, Architect Dreams) is a framework that fixes that. It plans first, uses specialist agents instead of one AI wearing every hat, and keeps you in control at the decisions that matter. This course teaches you the why and the shape of it. Not the install steps. The actual thinking.

Here's the twist: the whole course runs on the one thing you actually want to build. You bring it at setup, and every module applies its BMAD idea to your project, not a toy example. The capstone turns it all into a one-page plan you can use.

Show me how to start

Is this for you?

If you're learning to build things (apps, tools, side projects) and you've been mostly "vibing" at an AI and hoping it gets it right, yes. This is for you. It's beginner-first by design: no agile background, no engineering degree, no experience with the BMAD tooling required.

By the end, you'll be able to:

Jargon gets defined the moment it shows up. You don't need to know what "solutioning" or "epic" means before you start. You will by the end.

The big ideas

Four concepts that change how you build with AI. Each one has its own module (or two).

Why it matters

The five beliefs behind BMAD, and the specific ways "just ask the AI" breaks down on real projects.

The four phases

Analysis → Planning → Solutioning → Implementation. What each phase produces, and when to skip one.

Your AI crew

Specialist agents (analyst, PM, architect, dev) and when to put the whole team in one room (Party Mode).

Right-sizing it

Knowing when not to use the full method is as important as knowing when to. Quick-dev vs the whole workflow.

The 12 modules

A buffet, not a staircase. Pick whatever you're curious about. Each module stands on its own and opens with a "you don't need anything before this" primer. There's a recommended order if you want one (just ask the instructor), but you're free to wander.

Modules 10-12 are bonus/advanced. Great once you're comfortable with the basics, but never required.

Track 1 · Foundations
1.
Why BMAD Exists
The pain of winging it, and the five beliefs that fix it.
2.
The Four-Phase Map
The whole journey on one page. Spoiler: you don't always need all four.
Track 2 · Your AI Crew
3.
Meet Your AI Crew
Six specialists with different jobs, plus one mode that puts them all in a room at once.
Track 3 · The Method, Up Close
4.
Think First
Analysis & Planning, and why a vague idea costs you three times as much downstream.
5.
Decide How
Solutioning: write down the decisions so every agent builds the same thing.
6.
Ship It
Implementation: one story at a time, each in a fresh chat, reviewed before the next.
Track 4 · Working Smart
7.
Right-Size It
A 30-minute fix doesn't need a PRD. Learn to match the process to the job.
8.
Never Get Lost
Where to turn when you're stuck: BMad-Help, the module ecosystem, the docs map.
Track 5 · Capstone
9.
Your Build, the BMAD Way
Pull everything together into a one-page BMAD plan for the real thing you brought to class.
Track 6 · Level Up bonus, take these whenever you're curious
10.
Build Your Own Teammate
Create a custom agent for your project, including ones that remember things across sessions.
11.
Build Your Own Skill
Turn a chore you do repeatedly into a one-command reusable skill.
12.
Think Differently: Creative Intelligence Suite
Five specialist agents for when the problem is still fuzzy and you need to figure out what to build before you plan it.

What you need

This course runs inside Claude Code. Start, stop, and resume anytime.

How to start

Three steps. The whole thing fits in a folder.

1. Download the course folder
Click the green Code button on GitHub → Download ZIP → unzip it
2. Open it in Claude Code
Desktop app (File → Open Folder), VS Code extension, or cd learn-bmad && claude in the terminal
3. Say "Let's get started"
The instructor takes it from there and asks what you're building, sets up your files, shows you the menu
# in your terminal
$ cd learn-bmad && claude
You: Let's get started
Model: Claude Sonnet works great here. No need for Opus. Switch to Sonnet in Claude Code's model selector if you're on something else.

A note on this

This course was built because the BMAD Method has genuinely useful ideas, but its docs are dense and its install flow is deep. The ideas deserve a lighter, more human on-ramp. So: 12 short modules, no setup required, your own project as the running example, and Claude Code as the instructor.

The content is distilled faithfully from the official BMAD documentation. It's an independent learning aid, not affiliated with BMAD, and whenever the instructor isn't sure about something, it points you to the real docs instead of guessing.
