SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Existing configurations and scripts that invoke bmad-technical-research by name would break after the skill was consolidated into bmad-deep-recon. This compatibility shim keeps those legacy invocations and custom TOML override files working while directing users to the replacement. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Backward Compatibility: Resolves legacy _bmad/custom/bmad-technical-research.toml and .user.toml overrides so existing setups keep functioning. - Deprecation Notice: Informs the user in their configured language that the skill is deprecated and explains how to migrate to bmad-deep-recon. - Transparent Forwarding: Invokes bmad-deep-recon with the technical research type, pre-resolved legacy fields, and the user's original input verbatim. - Use Case: A team with an old automation calling bmad-technical-research continues to work unchanged while gradually migrating their customization files to bmad-deep-recon. ## Quick Start Invoke bmad-deep-recon directly with the technical research type instead of using this deprecated skill.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

Invoke bmad-deep-recon directly with the technical research type. The bmad-technical-research skill is deprecated and only forwards calls to bmad-deep-recon, which supports draft, process, and run modes across multiple research types.

What replaced the bmad-technical-research skill?

bmad-deep-recon replaced it. The new skill handles market, domain, technical, competitive, user-voice, and academic-literature research types, plus verification levels, HTML briefings, and handoffs.

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

Yes, the shim resolves legacy `_bmad/custom/bmad-technical-research.toml` and `.user.toml` overrides and passes them to bmad-deep-recon. To access the full new feature set, migrate the file to `_bmad/custom/bmad-deep-recon.toml`.

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

Migrate your customization file from `_bmad/custom/bmad-technical-research.toml` to `_bmad/custom/bmad-deep-recon.toml` and invoke bmad-deep-recon directly. The notice only appears when calling through the deprecated shim.

When should I not use the bmad-technical-research shim?

Avoid it for any new work. It exists only for backward compatibility with existing invocations; all new research tasks should call bmad-deep-recon directly to access draft, process, and run modes.
