FAQPage Schema
How do I use the business analyst agent for market research?

Invoke the analyst and select the MR menu item for market analysis covering competitive landscape, customer needs, and trends. The agent forwards the request to the deep research skill with the market research type pre-selected.

What can the BMad business analyst persona do?

Mary handles brainstorming facilitation, market and domain research, technical landscape scans, technology selection matrices, competitive teardowns, user-voice research, product brief creation, and PRFAQ concept stress-testing through a numbered menu.

Can I customize the analyst agent's persona and menu?

Yes. Place TOML override files in the project's _bmad/custom directory at team or user level. Scalars override defaults, arrays append, and menu items merge by code, letting you adjust role, style, principles, and capabilities.

Does the analyst agent support multiple languages?

Yes. The agent reads communication_language and document_output_language from the project config file and uses them for greetings, conversation, and generated documents throughout the session.

What are the limitations of the analyst agent?

The agent focuses on analysis and discovery, not implementation. Research depth depends on the downstream skills it dispatches to, and it requires the BMad config and customization files to be present for full activation.
