SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Existing configurations and invocations that reference the old bmad-market-research skill would break after it was consolidated into bmad-deep-recon. This compatibility shim keeps those legacy calls and custom TOML override files working while guiding users toward the new unified research workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Backward Compatibility: Resolves legacy _bmad/custom/bmad-market-research.toml and .user.toml overrides so existing customizations keep working. - Automatic Forwarding: Invokes bmad-deep-recon with the market research type pre-selected, skipping type inference and passing the user's original input verbatim. - Deprecation Guidance: Emits a notice explaining the migration path to bmad-deep-recon for access to draft, process, and run modes across multiple research types. - Use Case: A team with an existing bmad-market-research.toml customization upgrades their BMAD installation; their old invocations continue to produce market research results without manual reconfiguration. ## Quick Start Invoke bmad-market-research with your market research question and it will forward the request to bmad-deep-recon with the market type pre-selected.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run market research with the BMAD skill system?

Invoke bmad-deep-recon directly with the market research type for full functionality. The legacy bmad-market-research name still works but only forwards your request to bmad-deep-recon with the market type pre-selected.

What happened to the bmad-market-research skill?

It was consolidated into bmad-deep-recon and retained only as a compatibility shim. It resolves legacy customization files, shows a deprecation notice, then delegates all work to bmad-deep-recon.

Will my bmad-market-research.toml customizations still work?

Yes, the shim resolves legacy fields like activation_steps_prepend, activation_steps_append, persistent_facts, and on_complete from your existing TOML file. To access the full new feature set, migrate the file to bmad-deep-recon.toml.

How do I migrate from bmad-market-research to bmad-deep-recon?

Rename your customization file from _bmad/custom/bmad-market-research.toml to _bmad/custom/bmad-deep-recon.toml and invoke bmad-deep-recon directly. This silences the deprecation notice and unlocks draft, process, and run modes plus additional research types.

What research types does the replacement skill support?

bmad-deep-recon supports market, domain, technical, competitive, user-voice, and academic-lit research types, plus a select shape for choose-between decisions and custom types. It also offers verification levels, HTML briefings, and handoffs.
