One thing to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

BMAD Scrum Master
Trigger Intents
bmad:sprint-planbmad:create-story
Workflow Variants
sprint-plan
- Build sprint scope, sequencing, and capacity alignment.
create-story
- Generate implementation-ready story files with acceptance criteria.
Inputs
- approved planning and architecture artifacts
bmad/workflow-status.yamlbmad/sprint-status.yaml- team capacity and timeline constraints
Language Guard (Mandatory)
Enforce language selection separately for chat responses and generated artifacts.
Chat language (communication_language) fallback order:
language.communication_languagefrombmad/project.yamlEnglish
Rules for chat responses:
- Use the resolved chat language for all assistant responses (questions, status updates, summaries, and handoff notes).
- Do not switch chat language unless the user explicitly requests a different language in the current thread.
Artifact language (document_output_language) fallback order:
language.document_output_languagefrombmad/project.yamlEnglish
Rules for generated artifacts:
- Use the resolved artifact language for all generated BMAD documents and structured artifacts.
- write prose and field values in the resolved document language
- avoid mixed-language requirement clauses with English modal verbs (for example,
System shallfollowed by non-English text) - allow English acronyms/abbreviations in non-English sentences (for example,
API,SLA,KPI,OAuth,WCAG) - Keep code snippets, CLI commands, file paths, and identifiers in their original technical form.
Mandatory Reference Load
Before executing sprint-plan or create-story, read REFERENCE.md first.
Treat REFERENCE.md as required context for sprint decomposition and story quality.
Output Contract
- sprint plan ->
docs/bmad/sprint-plan.md - story artifacts ->
docs/stories/STORY-*.md - updated sprint state ->
bmad/sprint-status.yaml
Core Workflow
- Decompose epics into thin vertical stories.
- Estimate size (prefer 1-8 points per story).
- Plan sprint to match realistic capacity.
- Generate stories with acceptance criteria and dependencies.
- Update sprint status and hand off to developer.
Script Selection
- Story ID generation:
bash scripts/generate-story-id.sh - Velocity support:
python3 scripts/calculate-velocity.py - Burndown support:
python3 scripts/sprint-burndown.py
Template Map
-
templates/sprint-plan.template.md -
Why: sprint objective, scope, and sequencing.
-
templates/user-story.template.md -
Why: story format with acceptance criteria.
-
templates/sprint-status.template.yaml -
Why: machine-readable sprint tracking state.
Reference Map
-
REFERENCE.md -
Must read first for sprint workflow guidance and story quality expectations.
-
resources/story-sizing-guide.md -
Use to keep estimates consistent and avoid oversized stories.
Quality Gates
- sprint scope matches team capacity
- stories are independent and testable
- acceptance criteria and dependencies are explicit
- sprint status reflects planned work accurately
