bmad-planning-orchestrator

Plan, document, and orchestrate software work the BMAD way — product briefs, PRDs, architecture, epics, and ready-for-dev stories — then fan the work out as conflict-free parallel workstreams that your dev tools execute. Implements the BMAD Method (v6.x) by the BMAD Code Organization. This plugin does the planning and orchestration; it never writes the code.

Skills (20)

  • bmad-architecture

    Solutioning skill (Winston, the Architect). Produces architecture.md with ADRs and systematic NFR coverage, mapping every FR/NFR from the PRD to a concrete design decision. ONE architecture forces all future parallel dev agents to share the same API style, data model, state management, naming conven

  • bmad-brainstorm

    Facilitates structured ideation sessions using proven brainstorming techniques (SCAMPER, SWOT, 5 Whys, Mind Mapping, Six Thinking Hats, Reverse Brainstorming, Starbursting, Brainwriting). Produces a brainstorming-report.md of organized ideas and actionable insights. Operates in three intents: Create

  • bmad-builder

    Meta-skill for scaffolding and validating custom PLANNING/ORCHESTRATION skills within the BMAD Planning & Orchestrator plugin. Produces the full skill directory: SKILL.md, scripts, and templates — all pre-targeted at this plugin's path conventions. Includes a scope-violation checker so newly created

  • bmad-correct-course

    CROSS-PHASE mid-stream scope correction. Re-enters planning when requirements, features, architecture, or constraints change after planning has started. Re-shards affected epics/stories, re-sequences sprint-status.yaml, appends rationale to decision-log.md. Routes to bmad-epics-and-stories, bmad-spr

  • bmad-document-project

    BROWNFIELD planning input. Scans an existing codebase READ-ONLY and writes project-documentation.md — ground truth for stack, structure, key flows, conventions, and integration points — so downstream BMAD planning skills start from reality. Does NOT modify code; produces only the doc artifact. Use w

  • bmad-epics-and-stories

    Solutioning flagship — shards a PRD + architecture into epics.md and individual {epic}.{story}.{slug}.story.md context objects, the LAST planning artifact before external dev handoff. Each story is a self-contained ~8K-token compiled context object: Dev Notes with SOURCE CITATIONS back to prd.md/arc

  • bmad-handoff

    Emits a dev-tool-agnostic handoff manifest from ready-for-dev stories so an external dev plugin or runner can pick up and execute the work. Use when the user says "generate a handoff", "create handoff manifest", "export stories for dev", "hand off to dev tool", "produce handoff manifest", "ready to

  • bmad-help

    Orchestration spine and "what do I do next?" router for the BMAD Planning & Orchestrator plugin. Detects current planning state by scanning the output folder for which artifacts exist (project-context.md, decision-log.md, product-brief, prd/tech-spec, architecture, ux, epics, stories), infers the cu

  • bmad-init

    Initialize a BMAD planning workspace: pick a scale-adaptive TRACK (Quick Flow / BMad Method / Enterprise) interactively, then scaffold the output folder, a config file, an empty decision-log.md, and a project-context.md "constitution". Use when the user says "initialize BMAD", "set up BMAD", "start

  • bmad-investigate

    Forensic bug and issue triage. Produces a graded investigation case file: symptoms, evidence (graded A/B/C by confidence), ranked hypotheses, suspected components, and a recommended planning response. INVESTIGATES and DOCUMENTS only — does NOT fix code, run tests, or implement. Hands off as a story

  • bmad-parallel-plan

    Turns a sequential, ready-for-dev story backlog into conflict-free CONCURRENT WAVES. Builds a dependency DAG from epic order, per-story dependency maps, and Owned File/Module Scope overlaps, then topologically sorts it into parallel waves of mutually disjoint, dependency-satisfied stories (capped by

  • bmad-prd

    PRD facilitator (John the PM). Authors and maintains the Product Requirements Document — functional requirements (FR-###), non-functional requirements (NFR-###), an epics outline, user stories, acceptance criteria, and MoSCoW/RICE prioritization. Supports three intents: CREATE a new PRD, UPDATE an e

  • bmad-prfaq

    Amazon-style Working-Backwards PRFAQ: a future press release plus internal and external FAQs that stress-test a product concept before any building begins. Produces prfaq.md in the configured output folder. Use when the user says: "write a PRFAQ", "working backwards", "press release", "future press

  • bmad-product-brief

    Lean facilitator for creating, updating, and validating a product brief — the Analysis-phase foundation of the BMAD Method. Captures problem statement, target users, core features, goals, constraints, and success metrics. Use when the user says: "create a product brief", "I need a product brief", "l

  • bmad-readiness-check

    SOLUTIONING GATE — validates cohesion across planning artifacts before any implementation begins. Cross-references PRD (or tech-spec), architecture document, and epics/stories for coverage consistency and missing pieces. Returns a verdict of PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL with specifics. Does NOT touch cod

  • bmad-research

    Conducts market, competitive, domain, and technical research using live web sources, producing a cited research-report.md to inform BMAD planning decisions. Use when the user says: - "research [topic/market/technology]" - "competitive analysis" or "who are the competitors" - "market size" or "market

  • bmad-spec

    Distills ANY messy input — brain dump, transcript, long PRD, stakeholder notes, feature request, voice memo — into a tight five-field SPEC.md kernel that any downstream planning skill can consume. The five fields are: Problem, Capabilities, Constraints, Non-Goals, Success Metrics. Use when the user

  • bmad-sprint-planning

    Orchestration handoff bridge: emits and maintains sprint-status.yaml as the project's sequencing system-of-record. Orders stories by epic then dependency, assigns parallel-set (wave) membership, and drives the status lifecycle (backlog → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done) as a view — never

  • bmad-tech-spec

    Quick Flow lightweight technical specification for small-scope work (1-15 stories). Replaces the full PRD + architecture pair when scope is small and requirements are clear. Produces bmad-output/tech-spec.md as the single planning artifact before story creation. Use when the user says: "write a tech

  • bmad-ux

    Solutioning-phase UX planning skill (optional; activate when the project has a UI). Produces TWO planning documents: DESIGN.md (the visual system — design tokens, color palette, typography, spacing, component specs, WCAG 2.1 AA contract) and EXPERIENCE.md (user journeys, flow diagrams, screen states

Subagents (3)

  • epic-scoper

    PLANNING SUBAGENT — scopes ONE epic into an ordered list of stories with disjoint Owned File/Module Scope boundaries, making the epic's stories safe for parallel execution by the story-author subagents that follow. Receives: one epic's requirements slice (from epics.md or the PRD cluster), the archi

  • readiness-auditor

    PLANNING SUBAGENT — independently audits one or more planning artifacts and returns a structured verdict of PASS, CONCERNS, or FAIL with itemized findings. Designed for parallel deployment: spawn one auditor per artifact domain (requirements, architecture, stories) and let the orchestrator merge ver

  • story-author

    PLANNING SUBAGENT — compiles ONE story file as a fully source-cited context object in isolation. Receives a single story assignment (epic number, story number, slug, and the shared sharding-context path) and produces one {epic}.{story}.{slug}.story.md that is self-contained (~8K tokens) and ready fo
