To edit an existing PRD for BMAD methodology compliance, the skill detects your document format, performs a gap analysis, generates a section-by-section change plan, and requires your explicit confirmation before applying any edits or frontmatter updates.

Restructuring a legacy PRD into a BMAD standard format involves a conversion assessment where the system performs a gap analysis against required BMAD core sections and lets you choose a conversion strategy before executing the document restructuring.

Yes, you can use an existing validation report to guide your PRD editing workflow. The skill optionally utilizes the validation report during discovery to prioritize the section-by-section change plan based on severity and your specific goals.

The change plan approval process requires your explicit confirmation prior to modifying documents. The system generates a prioritized plan, applies only the approved changes, updates the PRD frontmatter, verifies the results, and offers next steps like running full validation.

You do not need a specific BMAD standard file format to start. The skill accepts BMAD standard, BMAD variant, and legacy PRDs by automatically detecting the format during discovery and adapting the editing workflow accordingly.

PRD editing requires explicit confirmation to enforce safety gates and deterministic step sequencing. This ensures that only approved changes from the section-by-section plan are applied, preventing unintended modifications to your document structure or frontmatter.
