How to Build a Multi-Agent System Using BMadCode

🔍 Introduction: What Is a Multi-Agent AI System?

A multi-agent system (MAS) is a collection of autonomous agents that work together to achieve complex goals. Each agent has its own role, memory, and tools — and they collaborate just like a human team would. From software development to business strategy and storytelling, multi-agent systems are transforming how we use AI in the real world.

In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to build your own MAS using BMadCode — a breakthrough framework that makes agent orchestration simple, scalable, and insanely powerful.

🧠 Why Use Multiple Agents Instead of One?

• Role specialization
• Autonomous decision-making
• Long-term coordination
• Parallel task execution

A multi-agent system breaks down tasks and assigns them to agents with defined responsibilities — like a Project Manager, Analyst, Architect, or Researcher.

• ✅ More accurate outputs
• ✅ Reusable agent logic
• ✅ Real-world simulation of teamwork

🔧 Step-by-Step: Building a Multi-Agent System with BMadCode

Step 1: Install BMadCode

Step 2: Plan Your System with Agent Roles

Agents involved:

• 🧠 Analyst: Extracts key requirements
• 📋 PM: Breaks work into tasks and timelines
• 📐 Architect: Designs system modules and tool integrations

Output includes:

• docs/prd.md – Product Requirements Document
• docs/architecture.md – System Architecture
• docs/user-personas.md – Optional UX/user data

Step 3: Define Execution Agents

• Dev Agent: Builds code or triggers APIs
• QA Agent: Runs checks or validation
• Browser Agent: Gathers info from the web
• Writer Agent: Generates text-based output

Step 4: Set Up Agent Memory & Tools

BMadCode supports:

• 🧠 Short-term memory for task context
• 🗃 Long-term memory for persistent understanding
• 🔌 Tool integration (OpenAI, Claude, APIs)

{
  "agent": "QA-Agent",
  "tools": ["code-review", "test-runner"],
  "memory": "persistent.json"
}

Step 5: Launch & Monitor Your Agents

• WebSocket API
• Serverless hosting (RunPod, Render)
• Real-time logs and triggers

🎯 Real Use Case: AI Writing Studio

• Character Agent: Designs character profiles
• Plot Agent: Outlines narrative arcs
• Editor Agent: Polishes grammar and tone
• Research Agent: Finds background facts online
