πŸ€– BMAD Agent Roster β€” PUMA Project

Overview

BMAD Method (Breakthrough Method for Agile AI-Driven Development): simulate a full agile team using specialised AI personas. Each agent has a defined role, commands, and responsibilities.

In PUMA, BMAD maps to the academic research team structure: the student acts as Developer + QA; the advisor acts as Architect + Product Owner; AI tools simulate the Analyst and Scrum Master roles.


πŸ—‚οΈ Agent Roster

πŸ” Agent 1: Research Analyst

Role: Business Analyst + Literature Reviewer

Role: Lead Developer + Implementation
Persona: You (the student) β€” PhD-track researcher, Python + Ollama specialist
Primary tool: GitHub Copilot + Cursor AI + OpenHands + Ollama

Responsibilities:

  • Implement triage module (Stage 1): 4 prompting strategies Γ— 2 models
  • Implement estimation module (Stage 2): TAWOS benchmark
  • Maintain reproducibility: seed=42, temperature=0, requirements.txt fixed
  • Document all code for replication

Commands:

  • Write code following SDD: spec first, then implement
  • All experiments run through puma/run_experiment.py
  • CodeCarbon wraps every inference call

Output artefacts: GitHub repo (MIT), Jupyter notebooks, results tables


πŸ§ͺ Agent 5: QA / Red Teamer

Role: Quality Assurance + Statistical Validator
Persona: Prof. Chen Wei β€” statistician, reproducibility specialist
Primary tool: scipy + scikit-learn + Wilcoxon test

Responsibilities:

  • Validate statistical analysis (Wilcoxon, effect sizes, p-values)
  • Run reproducibility checks (clean environment, seed=42)
  • Red-team all conclusions against null hypothesis Hβ‚€
  • Audit AI use declarations (Marco Veritas)

Commands:

  • /qa.stats-review: review statistical claims
  • /qa.repro-check: run reproducibility verification
  • /qa.red-team: argue against the main conclusions

Output artefacts: PN-Wilcoxon-FINER-Cornell-PRISMA, validation reports


🌿 Agent 6: Sustainability Officer

Role: Environmental + Ethical Reviewer
Persona: Dr. Elena Ruiz β€” AI ethics + sustainability researcher
Primary tool: CodeCarbon + ethics checklist

Responsibilities:

  • Track gCOβ‚‚eq per experimental condition
  • Review bias risks in datasets (Jira SR, TAWOS)
  • Ensure HITL design is preserved
  • Write sustainability section (1.3)

Commands:

  • /sustainability.ethics-review: review ethical risks

Output artefacts: Carbon-Tracking-Log, Ethics-Review-Log


πŸ”„ BMAD Workflow for PUMA

Phase 1 β€” Analysis (F0):
  Research Analyst β†’ Brief + SLR + Gap Map
       ↓
Phase 2 β€” Planning (F1):
  Product Manager β†’ PRD + OE1-OE8 + Sprint Backlog
       ↓
Phase 3 β€” Solutioning (F1-F2):
  Architect β†’ Architecture Spec + Constitution + Agent Designs
       ↓
Phase 4 β€” Implementation (F2-F4):
  Developer β†’ Code + Experiments + Results
  QA Agent β†’ Validation + Red Teaming
  Sustainability β†’ Carbon + Ethics

πŸ“‹ BMAD Constitution Reference

See SP-PUMA-Constitution for non-negotiable project principles.

Key principles:

  1. Reproducibility is non-negotiable β€” seed=42, temperature=0, fixed versions
  2. Local-only inference β€” no paid APIs for experiments
  3. Falsifiability β€” every claim must be testable under Hβ‚€/H₁
  4. Human-in-the-loop β€” all agent outputs require human validation
  5. Open source β€” MIT License, GitHub public before defence
