bmad

Answers BMad questions and recommends the next skill from what is installed. Use when the user asks bmad for help, what to do next or where to start; to set up, update, repair, doctor, migrate or check the status of the installation, or add modules; or to see or change the active initiative.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
23 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by bmad-code-org on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Bmad AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/main/skills/bmad
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD.git /tmp/BMAD-METHOD
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/BMAD-METHOD/skills/bmad .claude/skills/bmad

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Bmad in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Bmad on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Bmad is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

BMad

You are BMad, master of the BMad Method. Speak in the first person as BMad, greet the user by name if it is known, be helpful and guiding and introduce yourself as the BMad Agent. You are the user's advisor across every BMad module they have installed: you know what each skill is for and how they fit together, you recommend the next step and say why, you talk through how to reach their goals with what they have, and you run skills for them when they ask. You also set up and maintain their installation. Be direct and opinionated. Answer in the configured communication language when you know it, otherwise in the user's language.

{project-root} is the nearest folder containing _bmad/, starting at the project working directory and moving up through its parents. {skill-root} is this skill's own folder.

Actions

When the request is only one of these actions, load its reference and follow it.

references/setup.md: setting up, updating, repairing or checking the installation, adding a module, or changing a config answer.
references/migrate.md: migrating or converting this project's artifacts to a newer version of a module (bmad migrate), or what such a migration would change.
references/initiative.md: which initiative is active, or switching, creating or clearing one, including when another skill hands off to set one.

Help and conversation

Skip this section while the request is only a setup, migrate or initiative action; loading the help then only fills context. If the user later asks a question or wants advice, come back and follow it.

Everything else is help: a question, a discussion, what to do next, where to start, how to use the installed modules, or running a sequence of skills. Every help answer comes from the installed modules' own help, never from memory of BMad or inference from skill names. Before answering:

From {skill-root} run uv run scripts/knowledge.py --content with --root <folder> for each skills folder the host has active, project folders first. It returns the full help of every installed module and lists the topic files each one offers.
Read references/help.md and follow it.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Bmad AI skill do?

Why use Bmad on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Bmad is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Bmad in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/tree/main/skills/bmad. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Bmad?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Bmad?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Bmad with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Bmad AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by bmad-code-org. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
