Bmad Agents FAQs

Question 1

Can Bmad Agents support different storage backends?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Bmad Agents supports configurable storage providers. You can easily switch between different backends (e.g., multiple filesystem locations, or potentially future database/object storage options) with a single configuration change, without requiring any modifications to your existing BMAD agent workflows.

Question 2

What are the key benefits of using Bmad Agents for AI development?

Accepted Answer

Key benefits include decoupling AI development workflows from specific storage backends, enabling seamless switching between configurable storage providers, providing a multi-tier API (`storage.*`, `document.*`, `epic.*`/`story.*`) for structured and unstructured artifact management, enforcing an MCP-first storage policy, and offering centralized observability for all I/O requests.

Question 3

What is Bmad Agents and its primary purpose?

Accepted Answer

Bmad Agents is a research platform that routes all artifact I/O for BMAD (Build Me A Dream) AI agents through a custom MCP (Master Control Program) server. Its primary purpose is to abstract storage from the local filesystem, validating advanced storage solutions for AI-driven software development workflows.

Question 4

How does Bmad Agents enforce its 'MCP-first' storage policy for agents?

Accepted Answer

Bmad Agents enforces this policy through customized agent configurations (`.customize.yaml` files). Agents are instructed to exclusively use the MCP server for artifact I/O, operate under a 'fail-closed' rule (no direct filesystem fallback), and perform pre-response self-checks to ensure strict policy adherence.

Question 5

How does Bmad Agents abstract artifact storage from the filesystem?

Accepted Answer

It abstracts storage by routing all agent artifact I/O through a custom stdio MCP server. This server intercepts requests using a `bmad://` URI scheme, managing read/write operations for documents, epics, and stories without agents directly touching the local filesystem.
