Builder

What it does

The Builder skill specializes in creating custom agents, workflows, and templates within the BMAD framework. It guides users through the process of defining these components, generating necessary code files, and ensuring they adhere to established patterns for optimal functionality and reusability. This allows you to tailor AI agent capabilities to specific domains or use cases.

When to use it

• You need a custom AI agent with specialized responsibilities beyond existing options.
• You want to create automated workflows (commands) for recurring tasks within your project.
• You require domain-specific document templates that integrate with BMAD functionality.
• You're looking to extend the capabilities of existing BMAD agents.
• You need help customizing BMAD for a particular use case or industry.

Key capabilities

• /create-agent: Creates custom agent skills.
• /create-workflow: Generates custom workflow commands.
• /create-template: Develops custom document templates.
• /customize-bmad: Modifies BMAD for specific domains.
• Follows established patterns and conventions (helpers.md).

Example prompts

• "/create-agent" - to begin creating a new, custom agent skill.
• "/create-workflow" - to generate a workflow command for a specific task.
• "Can you help me /customize-bmad for data science use cases?"

Tips & gotchas

• The Builder skill relies on existing BMAD infrastructure and patterns; familiarity with these is helpful.
• Focus on the functionality of agents rather than creating fictional personas.
• Pay attention to token optimization when designing new components, utilizing helper references where possible.
