About this skill

DEPRECATED — forwards to bmad-deep-recon (domain type)

This skill was consolidated into bmad-deep-recon. It is retained as a thin compatibility shim so existing invocations by name and _bmad/custom/bmad-domain-research.toml override files keep working. New work should invoke bmad-deep-recon directly — it drafts deep-research prompts for outside tools, processes finished reports into downstream-ready summaries, and runs research directly, across market, domain, technical, competitive, user-voice, and academic-lit types (plus a select shape for choose-between decisions and custom types).

On Activation

  1. Resolve customization: uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --project-root {project-root} --key workflow. This picks up any {project-root}/_bmad/custom/bmad-domain-research.toml and bmad-domain-research.user.toml overrides for the legacy fields (activation_steps_prepend, activation_steps_append, persistent_facts, on_complete).
  2. Emit a deprecation notice to the user (in their configured communication language): bmad-domain-research is deprecated and forwards to bmad-deep-recon with the domain type. To silence this notice and access the full new surface (draft/process/run modes, research types, verification levels, HTML briefing, handoffs), migrate _bmad/custom/bmad-domain-research.toml to _bmad/custom/bmad-deep-recon.toml and invoke bmad-deep-recon directly.
  3. Invoke bmad-deep-recon with: research type domain (skip its type inference), the four legacy fields above as pre-resolved values, and the user's original input verbatim. bmad-deep-recon takes the workflow from here — do not execute any further steps in this shim.
