SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? This Skill preserves backward compatibility for existing market research invocations and custom override files after the original workflow was consolidated into bmad-deep-recon, so old commands keep working without breaking. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Deprecation Forwarding: Redirects every invocation to bmad-deep-recon with the market research type pre-selected, skipping type inference. - Customization Resolution: Loads legacy override files such as _bmad/custom/bmad-market-research.toml and bmad-market-research.user.toml via the resolve_customization.py script. - Use Case: A team with an existing bmad-market-research.toml configuration can keep invoking the old skill name while receiving a deprecation notice prompting migration to bmad-deep-recon for draft, process, and run research modes. ## 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.

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

Invoke bmad-deep-recon directly with the market research type, which supports draft, process, and run modes. The old bmad-market-research skill still works but simply forwards your request to bmad-deep-recon with a deprecation notice.

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 forwards your input to bmad-deep-recon with the market type.

Will my bmad-market-research.toml customization file still work?

Yes, the shim resolves legacy fields like activation_steps_prepend, persistent_facts, and on_complete from bmad-market-research.toml and passes them to bmad-deep-recon. Migrating the file to bmad-deep-recon.toml unlocks the full new feature surface.

How do I silence the bmad-market-research deprecation notice?

Migrate your _bmad/custom/bmad-market-research.toml overrides to _bmad/custom/bmad-deep-recon.toml and invoke bmad-deep-recon directly. This removes the notice and grants access to research types, verification levels, and HTML briefings.

What research types does the replacement workflow support?

bmad-deep-recon supports market, domain, technical, competitive, user-voice, and academic-literature research types, plus a select shape for choose-between decisions and custom types. It drafts prompts, processes finished reports, and runs research directly.
