## Pages in this section

- [Your first hour with BMAD+](https://bmad-plus.rochetta.fr/docs/guides/first-hour/): A newcomer path from an empty terminal to a reviewed first result: install, check, talk to your first agent, review, keep context, stay up to date. Each step with the real command and what to expect.
- [Install, update, uninstall](https://bmad-plus.rochetta.fr/docs/guides/install-lifecycle/): The whole life of BMAD+ in a project: install, check, update with a policy and receipts, restore, uninstall while keeping your memory. What each step writes and removes, and how it behaves offline.
- [Tutorial: from an idea to a swarm](https://bmad-plus.rochetta.fr/docs/guides/idea-to-swarm/): A complete walk-through with real output: install, let Atelier ask first, record a brief, run a simulated buyer panel under a budget, read the honest tally, then uninstall and keep memory.
- [Case study: checking what agents say is done](https://bmad-plus.rochetta.fr/docs/guides/case-study-rebuild-the-site/): One review rated 11 statements false in what 39 agents wrote in under twelve hours, and the reviewers were wrong twice. See how, and replay the five commands.
- [Using BMAD+ in a team](https://bmad-plus.rochetta.fr/docs/guides/for-teams/): What to commit and what to keep local, which settings to agree on, one adapter per teammate on a shared spine, a safe update policy, CI gates and onboarding.
- [Recipes cookbook](https://bmad-plus.rochetta.fr/docs/guides/recipes-cookbook/): Copy-ready prompts and commands for the Core agents and every pack, each with what it really does: Atlas, Forge, Sentinel, Nexus, Shadow, Zecher, SEO, Shield, Dev Studio, Atelier and the CLI.
