## How to install the BMad Method in your project

Repo: [bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 45 minutes | Basis: From the README

Install the stable v6.12 release and drive changes through bmad-build with guidance from bmad-help.

**Who it is for:** A developer whose AI coding sessions drift without a plan.

**The problem:** Ad hoc prompting loses decisions and context between sessions.

**The outcome:** A project with BMad installed and a guided path from request to build.

### Steps

1. Install Node.js 20.12+, Python 3.10+ and uv
2. Run `npx bmad-method install` in your project
3. Open your AI coding tool and invoke bmad-build with your change
4. Run bmad-help whenever you need the next step

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Install BMad v6.12 in <project> with `npx bmad-method install`, then use bmad-build for <change>. Report the artifacts it produced and confirm the change was implemented.
```

### Caveat

v6.12 is the stable line; v7 is a preview alpha with frequent breaking changes.

## How to try the v7 preview as Claude Code or Codex plugins with BMad Method

Repo: [bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Add the BMad plugin marketplace and run bmad setup to use the newest skills.

**Who it is for:** A solo developer comfortable with breaking changes who wants the latest workflows.

**The problem:** Older installs miss newer delivery workflows.

**The outcome:** BMad v7 skills installed and set up through the bmad hub.

### Steps

1. In Claude Code run `/plugin marketplace add bmad-code-org/bmad-plugins` (or `codex plugin marketplace add bmad-code-org/bmad-plugins`)
2. Install bmad-method and bmad-core-tools
3. Ask the bmad skill to run bmad setup
4. Invoke bmad-build and check bmad status

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Install BMad v7 from the bmad-code-org/bmad-plugins marketplace, run bmad setup, then bmad status. Report the installed version and the suggested next step.
```

### Caveat

The README warns to expect breaking changes between v7 preview updates.

## How to install the full method with the Skills CLI with BMad Method

Repo: [bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD](https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Use the Skills CLI to add every BMad skill and choose which coding tools get them.

**Who it is for:** A team lead standardizing several AI tools on one method.

**The problem:** Each tool needs its own setup.

**The outcome:** BMad skills installed across the tools you select.

### Steps

1. Run `npx skills add bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD --skill '*'` in your project
2. Pick the coding tools to install to
3. Ask bmad to run bmad setup
4. Use bmad setup later to update and clean up renamed skills

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Run `npx skills add bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD --skill '*'` in <project>, select <tools>, then run bmad setup. List the skills installed per tool.
```

### Caveat

Installing without --skill '*' requires picking modules yourself, including bmad for setup and help.
