BMAD-GDS Workflow Commands

Phase 1 — Pre-production

Command Description bmad-gds-brainstorm-game Facilitate a game brainstorming session with game-specific ideation techniques bmad-gds-game-brief Create an interactive game brief defining concept and core mechanics

Phase 2 — Design

Command Description bmad-gds-gdd Generate a Game Design Document: mechanics, systems, progression, implementation guidance bmad-gds-narrative Create narrative documentation: story structure, character arcs, world-building

Phase 3 — Technical

Command Description bmad-gds-project-context Generate project-context.md for consistent AI agent coordination bmad-gds-game-architecture Produce scale-adaptive game architecture: engine, systems, networking, technical design bmad-gds-test-framework Initialize test framework architecture for Unity, Unreal, or Godot bmad-gds-test-design Create comprehensive test scenarios covering gameplay, progression, and quality

Phase 4 — Production

Command Description bmad-gds-sprint-planning Generate or update sprint-status.yaml from epic files bmad-gds-sprint-status View sprint progress, surface risks, get next action recommendation bmad-gds-create-story Create a dev-ready implementation story bmad-gds-dev-story Execute a dev story: implement tasks and tests bmad-gds-code-review QA code review for stories flagged Ready for Review bmad-gds-correct-course Navigate major in-sprint course corrections bmad-gds-retrospective Facilitate retrospective after epic completion

Game Testing

Command Description bmad-gds-test-automate Generate automated game tests for gameplay systems bmad-gds-e2e-scaffold Scaffold end-to-end testing infrastructure bmad-gds-playtest-plan Create a structured playtesting plan for user testing sessions bmad-gds-performance-test Design a performance testing strategy for profiling and optimization bmad-gds-test-review Review test quality and coverage gaps

Quick / Anytime

Command Description bmad-gds-quick-prototype Rapid prototyping to validate mechanics without full planning overhead bmad-gds-quick-spec Quick tech spec for simple, well-defined features or tasks bmad-gds-quick-dev Flexible rapid implementation for game features bmad-gds-document-project Analyze and document an existing game project

Specialized Agents

Agent Role game-designer Game concept, mechanics, GDD, narrative design, brainstorming game-architect Technical architecture, system design, project context game-dev Implementation, dev stories, code review game-scrum-master Sprint planning, story management, course corrections, retrospectives game-qa Test framework, test design, automation, E2E, playtest, performance game-solo-dev Full-scope solo mode: quick prototype, quick spec, quick dev

Typical Workflow

Run bmad-gds-brainstorm-game → ideate game concept
Run bmad-gds-game-brief → lock in concept and core mechanics
Run bmad-gds-gdd → produce full Game Design Document
Run bmad-gds-game-architecture → define technical architecture
Run bmad-gds-sprint-planning → break work into sprints and stories
Run bmad-gds-dev-story per story → implement features
Run bmad-gds-code-review → quality gate before merge
Run bmad-gds-retrospective → continuous improvement after each epic
