SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? This Skill preserves backward compatibility for existing invocations and customization files that reference the retired bmad-domain-research workflow, redirecting them to the consolidated bmad-deep-recon skill without breaking user setups. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Compatibility Shim: Resolves legacy _bmad/custom/bmad-domain-research.toml and .user.toml overrides, then forwards them to bmad-deep-recon with the domain research type. - Deprecation Notice: Informs users in their configured language that the skill is deprecated and explains how to migrate to bmad-deep-recon. - Use Case: A team with an existing bmad-domain-research.toml customization invokes the old skill name; the shim resolves their overrides and hands off to bmad-deep-recon so their domain research workflow still runs unchanged. ## Quick Start Invoke bmad-domain-research with your domain research question and it will forward the request to bmad-deep-recon with the domain type.
