Agents

Default Agents

This page lists the default BMM (Agile suite) agents that install with BMad Method, along with their skill IDs, menu triggers, and primary workflows. Each agent is invoked as a skill.

Notes

• Each agent is available as a skill, generated by the installer. The skill ID (e.g., bmad-agent-dev) is used to invoke the agent.
• Triggers are the short menu codes (e.g., PRD) and fuzzy matches shown in each agent menu.
• QA test generation is handled by the bmad-qa-generate-e2e-tests workflow skill, available through the Developer agent. The full Test Architect (TEA) lives in its own module.

:::note[Where is Paige?] The Technical Writer (Paige) is on hiatus — she will return in the future far more capable. In the meantime, project context lives on: the PC (Project Context) trigger is available through the Analyst, or invoke the bmad-project-context skill directly. :::

Trigger Types

Agent menu triggers load a structured workflow file. Type the trigger code and the agent starts the workflow, prompting you for input at each step.

Examples: PRD (Create, update, or validate PRD), CA (Create Architecture), BD (Build)
