ZNS-METHOD Framework

Zero-to-Null-State Method - Business Modeling & Application Development Framework based on BMAD-METHOD V6+


🌟 Características Principales

ZNS-METHOD is a modular agentic framework for software modernization, development, and migration. Built on top of BMAD-METHOD V6+, it provides specialized agents and workflows for:

- 🎯 Product Planning (requirements, user stories, backlog management)
- 🔍 Technical Audits (frontend/backend code analysis)
- 🏗️ Architecture Design (data modeling, system design)
- 💻 Multi-Stack Development (.NET, Java, Python, PHP, React, React Native)
- 🔄 Legacy Migration (obsolescence analysis, modernization planning)
- 📊 Cost Estimation & Validation (effort estimation, quality assurance)

🎯 Key Features

$3

- Agent Schema: Full metadata + persona (role, identity, communication_style, principles)
- Menu System: Handlebars-based workflow triggers with {project-root}, {bmad_folder}, {output_folder}
- Customization: .customize.yaml overlay system for persistent agent personalization
- Party Mode: Multi-agent collaborative workflows
- Phase System: Phase 0-4 (Documentation → Analysis → Planning → Solutioning → Implementation)
- Scale-Adaptive: Level 0-4 complexity adjustment

$3

``bash

🚀 Quick Start

$3

`bash

Install globally via NPM

npm install -g @znsmtd/framework

Or use directly via npx

npx @znsmtd/framework install

or

npx znsmtd install
`

$3

`bash
npx znsmtd install
`

This will:
1. Prompt you to select modules (zns-core, zns-audit, zns-development, etc.)
2. Create .znsmtd/ directory with selected modules
3. Generate config.yaml with installation settings
4. Copy agent files from src/ to .znsmtd/
5. Compile agents (YAML → XML)

$3

`bash

1. Check status

npx znsmtd status

2. Compile agents

npx znsmtd compile --all

3. Start a workflow (from your IDE or CLI)

Open .znsmtd/zns-core/agents/product-owner.xml in VS Code

Trigger menu option: "create-user-stories"

🎨 Customizing Agents

Create a .customize.yaml file next to any agent:

`yaml

product-owner.customize.yaml

agent:
persona:
communication_style: |
Use shorter sentences. Always include emojis. More casual tone.

menu:
- trigger: my-custom-workflow
workflow: "{project-root}/my-workflows/custom.yaml"
description: My custom workflow
`

Recompile:
`bash
npx znsmtd compile product-owner
`

Your customizations will persist across updates! 🎉
