# Bmad Bmgd > Use for BMAD BMGD (game development) workflows, game briefs/GDDs, and game-specific planning. Trigger on BMGD, game design, GDD, or game architecture requests.

Use `$bmad-help` to discover available BMGD workflows and the recommended next step. ## Non-negotiable execution rules - Run all BMGD workflows in the worker or dedicated BMAD window, never locally in the controller session. - If a BMAD window exists, send commands there (use `send.sh --label bmad`). Otherwise use the worker terminal. - Do not manually author game briefs or GDDs in the controller when the workflow can generate them. - Always load the BMGD agent persona and follow its menu items before running workflows. - Do not forward the user's request verbatim to the worker. First read the relevant files locally, then translate the request into concrete BMAD menu steps and commands for the worker. - Use BMAD commands with a single leading dollar sign (e.g. `$bmad-help`). Never send `$$bmad-help`. - If the BMGD workflow requires it, start by loading the **SM agent**. ## Workflow 1) Confirm module presence - Ensure `_bmad/bmgd/` exists in the repo. - If missing, ask whether to install BMGD via `npx bmad-method install` and select the module. 2) Discover available workflows - In the worker terminal, run `$bmad-help` and pick a BMGD workflow. - Optionally inspect `_bmad/bmgd/workflows/` to see available workflow IDs. 3) Execute in worker - Send the workflow command to the worker with `send.sh`. - Wait for output artifacts before proceeding. ## References - `references/locators.md` - `references/game-terms.md` --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/dickymoore) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
