# Simple Agent Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
Self-contained agents in a single YAML file. No external dependencies, no persistent memory.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use Simple Agents
|
||||
|
||||
- Single-purpose utilities (commit helper, formatter, validator)
|
||||
- Stateless operations (each run is independent)
|
||||
- All logic fits in ~250 lines
|
||||
- Menu handlers are short prompts or inline text
|
||||
- No need to remember past sessions
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Complete YAML Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
agent:
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
id: _bmad/agents/{agent-name}/{agent-name}.md
|
||||
name: 'Persona Name'
|
||||
title: 'Agent Title'
|
||||
icon: '🔧'
|
||||
module: stand-alone # or: bmm, cis, bmgd, other
|
||||
|
||||
persona:
|
||||
role: |
|
||||
First-person primary function (1-2 sentences)
|
||||
identity: |
|
||||
Background, specializations (2-5 sentences)
|
||||
communication_style: |
|
||||
How the agent speaks (tone, voice, mannerisms)
|
||||
principles:
|
||||
- Core belief or methodology
|
||||
- Another guiding principle
|
||||
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: main-action
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
<instructions>What this does</instructions>
|
||||
<process>1. Step one 2. Step two</process>
|
||||
|
||||
- id: another-action
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
Another reusable prompt
|
||||
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: XX or fuzzy match on command
|
||||
action: '#another-action'
|
||||
description: '[XX] Command description'
|
||||
|
||||
- trigger: YY or fuzzy match on other
|
||||
action: 'Direct inline instruction'
|
||||
description: '[YY] Other description'
|
||||
|
||||
install_config: # OPTIONAL
|
||||
compile_time_only: true
|
||||
description: 'Personalize your agent'
|
||||
questions:
|
||||
- var: style_choice
|
||||
prompt: 'Preferred style?'
|
||||
type: choice
|
||||
options:
|
||||
- label: 'Professional'
|
||||
value: 'professional'
|
||||
- label: 'Casual'
|
||||
value: 'casual'
|
||||
default: 'professional'
|
||||
```

## Component Details
|
||||
|
||||
### Metadata
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Purpose | Example |
|
||||
|-------|---------|---------|
|
||||
| `id` | Compiled path | `_bmad/agents/commit-poet/commit-poet.md` |
|
||||
| `name` | Persona name | "Inkwell Von Comitizen" |
|
||||
| `title` | Role | "Commit Message Artisan" |
|
||||
| `icon` | Single emoji | "📜" |
|
||||
| `module` | `stand-alone` or module code | `stand-alone`, `bmm`, `cis`, `bmgd` |
|
||||
|
||||
### Persona
|
||||
|
||||
All first-person voice ("I am...", "I do..."):
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
role: "I am a Commit Message Artisan..."
|
||||
identity: "I understand commit messages are documentation..."
|
||||
communication_style: "Poetic drama with flair..."
|
||||
principles:
|
||||
- "Every commit tells a story - capture the why"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Prompts with IDs
|
||||
|
||||
Reusable templates referenced via `#id`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
prompts:
|
||||
- id: write-commit
|
||||
content: |
|
||||
<instructions>What this does</instructions>
|
||||
<process>1. Step 2. Step</process>
|
||||
|
||||
menu:
|
||||
- trigger: WC or fuzzy match on write
|
||||
action: "#write-commit"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Tips:** Use semantic XML tags (`<instructions>`, `<process>`, `<example>`), keep focused, number steps.
|
||||
|
||||
### Menu Actions
|
||||
|
||||
Two forms:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Prompt reference:** `action: "#prompt-id"`
|
||||
2. **Inline instruction:** `action: "Direct text"`
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Reference
|
||||
- trigger: XX or fuzzy match on command
|
||||
action: "#prompt-id"
|
||||
description: "[XX] Description"
|
||||
|
||||
# Inline
|
||||
- trigger: YY or fuzzy match on other
|
||||
action: "Do something specific"
|
||||
description: "[YY] Description"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Menu format:** `XX or fuzzy match on command` | Descriptions: `[XX] Description`
|
||||
**Reserved codes:** MH, CH, PM, DA (auto-injected - do NOT use)
|
||||
|
||||
### Install Config (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Compile-time personalization with Handlebars:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
install_config:
|
||||
compile_time_only: true
|
||||
questions:
|
||||
- var: style_choice
|
||||
prompt: 'Preferred style?'
|
||||
type: choice
|
||||
options: [...]
|
||||
default: 'professional'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Variables available in prompts: `{{#if style_choice == 'casual'}}...{{/if}}`
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- Frontmatter (`---name/description---`)
|
||||
- XML activation block
|
||||
- Menu handlers (workflow, exec logic)
|
||||
- Auto-injected menu items (MH, CH, PM, DA)
|
||||

## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **First-person voice** in all persona elements
|
||||
2. **Focused prompts** - one clear purpose each
|
||||
3. **Semantic XML tags** (`<instructions>`, `<process>`, `<example>`)
|
||||
4. **Handlebars** for personalization (if using install_config)
|
||||
5. **Sensible defaults** in install_config
|
||||
6. **Numbered steps** in multi-step prompts
|
||||
7. **Keep under ~250 lines** for maintainability
