Runs one or more installed review lenses — adversarial critique, edge cases, verification gaps, structure, prose — and reports triaged findings. Use when, and only when, the user asks you to review a diff, a pull request, or an artifact — code or documents, one or many — and actually says "review"; an explicit skill:bmad-review directive from another skill counts as that ask. A request to act on feedback from an earlier review is a change, not a review. Never invoke this uninvited, including on edits you just made.

Orchestrates lively group discussions between installed BMAD agents or custom personas, and helps author custom parties. Use when the user requests party mode, a roundtable, or multiple agent perspectives — or wants to create/configure a party, define personas, or build an AI focus-group panel

Analyzes current state and user query to answer BMad questions or recommend the next skill(s) to use. Use when user asks for help, bmad help, what to do next, or what to start with in BMad

Test a half-formed idea in a questioning conversation, with different personas probing its weak points, until the user can act on it or drop it with confidence. Optionally writes a short brief for planning skills to build on. Use when the user says 'forge an idea', 'pressure-test this idea', 'stress-test my thinking', or 'harden this idea'

Research a topic to support a decision, three ways: draft a research prompt for the user to run in their own tool (ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, …), turn a finished research report into a short summary with cited sources that other skills can use directly, or run the research here with parallel web searches. Built-in research types: market, domain, technical, competitive, user-voice, academic-lit; also supports choosing between candidates, and custom types via overrides. Use when the user says "deep recon", "research this", "draft a research prompt", "process this research report", "market research", "domain research", "technical research", "competitor research", "literature review", or "help me choose between"

Authors and updates customization overrides for installed BMad skills. Use when the user says 'customize bmad', 'override a skill', 'change agent behavior', or 'customize a workflow'

Facilitate a brainstorming session using diverse creative techniques. Use when the user says 'help me brainstorm' or 'help me ideate'

Push the LLM to reconsider, refine, and improve its recent output. Use when user asks for deeper critique or mentions a known deeper critique method, e.g. socratic, first principles, pre-mortem, red team
