An executive product brief is generated by synthesizing your provided ideas with scanned project artifacts and optional web research. It uses guided elicitation and a drafting template to produce a 1-2 page document aligning intent, users, and scope.

Updating an existing product brief is handled by scanning new project artifacts and merging them with your inputs through guided elicitation. It then applies multi-lens reviews to catch missing assumptions before finalizing the revised planning artifact.

Contextual synthesis works by scanning relevant project knowledge and artifacts, then merging those findings with your raw input. This process surfaces gaps and surprises to ensure the finalized executive product brief accurately reflects current project context.

Yes, you can generate a PRD distillate. After drafting the executive product brief, the skill optionally generates a PRD-focused distillate pack and saves both the brief and the distillate to your configured planning artifacts path.

Yes, running the BMAD workflow resolver is required. It loads persistent facts and configuration, resolves activation mode routing for guided or autonomous elicitation, and establishes the planning artifacts path needed to save your finalized brief.

Supported activation modes include guided, yolo, and autonomous. The skill detects your mode to run a structured discovery sequence, ensuring it understands your intent before reading artifacts and drafting the executive product brief.
