SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? This Skill preserves backward compatibility for existing invocations of the deprecated bmad-technical-research workflow by transparently forwarding them to the consolidated bmad-deep-recon skill with the technical research type. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Deprecation Forwarding: Redirects all calls to bmad-deep-recon with the technical research type pre-selected, skipping type inference. - Customization Resolution: Loads legacy overrides from _bmad/custom/bmad-technical-research.toml and .user.toml files (activation steps, persistent facts, on_complete) via the resolve_customization script. - Use Case: A team with existing automation that invokes bmad-technical-research by name continues to work unchanged while receiving a deprecation notice prompting migration to bmad-deep-recon. ## Quick Start Invoke bmad-technical-research with your technical research question and it will forward the request to bmad-deep-recon after showing a deprecation notice.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run technical research with the bmad workflow?

Invoke bmad-deep-recon directly with the technical research type. The legacy bmad-technical-research skill still works but simply forwards your request to bmad-deep-recon after showing a deprecation notice.

What replaced the bmad-technical-research skill?

bmad-deep-recon replaced it, consolidating market, domain, technical, competitive, user-voice, and academic-lit research types. It adds draft, process, and run modes plus verification levels and HTML briefings.

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

Yes, the shim resolves legacy fields like activation_steps_prepend, persistent_facts, and on_complete from `_bmad/custom/bmad-technical-research.toml`. Migrate to `bmad-deep-recon.toml` to silence the deprecation notice and access the full feature set.

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

Rename your customization file from `_bmad/custom/bmad-technical-research.toml` to `_bmad/custom/bmad-deep-recon.toml` and invoke bmad-deep-recon directly with the technical type. This removes the deprecation notice and unlocks new modes.

Why am I seeing a deprecation notice when running technical research?

The notice appears because bmad-technical-research is deprecated and forwards to bmad-deep-recon. Migrate your TOML override file and invoke bmad-deep-recon directly to silence it.
