# BMAD Framework

## Overview
BMAD (Build, Manage, Adapt, Deploy) is an agentic engineering framework for composable, modular agent systems. BMAD emphasizes lifecycle management, clear boundaries between agent roles, and iterative improvement.

## Typical Workflow
1. **Build**: Define agent roles and capabilities.
2. **Manage**: Orchestrate agents, monitor state, provide feedback loops.
3. **Adapt**: Adjust agent configurations based on outcomes & feedback.
4. **Deploy**: Package, integrate, and run agent teams in production or simulation environments.

## Strengths
- Modular structure simplifies lifecycle and iteration.
- Good for heterogeneous teams with evolving requirements.
- Clear separation of concerns aids maintainability.

## Weaknesses
- Requires robust management layer (can be complex).
- Adaptation step needs reliable metrics and evaluation.
- Not plug-and-play; demands thoughtful composition.

## Example Use Cases
- Multi-agent research projects
- Continually improving workflows
- Complex, production agent teams
