• How to set up the BMAD-METHOD in a ChatGPT/Project

  • My Notes

    • Setting up the AI agents

      • 1 - create a new ChatGPT project. Name it after the project you are developing. For me this was GitHub/codekiln/ableton-live-git-hooks
      • 2 - for the ChatGPT/Project/Instruction use BMAD-METHOD/web-build-sample/agent-prompt.txt
      • 3 - for the ChatGPT/Project/Files attach all the files in the web-build-sample dir except for the agent-prompt.txt used in step 2

    • Start using the AI agents

      • At this point, start a new conversation in the ChatGPT Project describing what you want to build. For me this was a Repomix/Bundle file with all the source code and docs I already had, and a simple message.
      • ChatGPT/Query

        • I've attached my work in progress on this project. I need your help setting up the required documentation and working out the architecture. please guide me through the process

          I’m in Interactive mode by default. Which task should we tackle first, or what would you like me to focus on?
          

      • I said Create PRD
      • At this point, I ended up realizing I needed to go back to the drawing board with the design, so I activated the analyst again. Then I had the analyst prepare a new report, then switched back to the product manager, refactoring the project's name and assumptions. I was impressed with how the product manager had an ability to revise project path.
