SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users working through a BMad workflow often lose track of which module and phase they are in, what has already been completed, and which skill to invoke next. This Skill reads the installed skill catalog, configuration files, and existing output artifacts to orient the user and recommend the next step. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Workflow Position Detection: Reads the stellar-help.csv catalog, config.yaml files, and output artifacts to determine which module and phase the user is in and what is already done. - Next-Step Recommendations: Uses phase ordering, preceded-by/followed-by sequencing, and required gates to suggest optional and required next skills, including menu codes, skill names, actions, and args. - Grounded Q&A: Fetches module documentation sources (such as llms.txt) registered in the catalog to answer general BMad questions that do not map to a specific skill. - Use Case: A user asks "what should I do next in BMad?" The Skill detects a completed PRD in the output folder, sees the architecture skill is the next required item, and offers to run it immediately in a fresh context. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant "where am I in my BMad workflow and what should I do next?" to get an oriented status summary and a recommended next skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I know what to do next in a BMad workflow?▼

Ask for help or next steps and the Skill reads the stellar-help.csv catalog and your output artifacts to detect completed phases. It then recommends the next optional and required skills with menu codes and invocation details.

How does BMad help detect which steps are already completed?▼

Completion detection searches resolved output-location paths for files matching the outputs patterns defined in the catalog. Found files are fuzzy-matched to catalog rows, and explicit user statements or conversation context also count as completion.

Can the help skill answer general questions about a BMad module?▼

Yes. Catalog rows with _meta in the skill column carry a URL or path to the module's documentation, such as an llms.txt file. The Skill fetches these sources to give grounded answers when a question does not map to a specific skill.

What is the difference between required and optional BMad phases?▼

Items marked required=true in the catalog must complete before later phases become meaningful. A phase with no required items is entirely optional, so the Skill recommends it but clearly distinguishes it from the actual next required step.

Why does the help skill recommend a fresh context window for each skill?▼

Each BMad skill loads its own instructions and resources into context, so running it in a fresh window avoids context pollution from prior conversations. This keeps the invoked skill's reasoning focused on its own task.
