bmad-deep-recon

Decision-grade research, three ways: draft a deep-research prompt for the user to run in their own tool (ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, …), process a finished research report — file it, distill a succinct cited summary with metadata that downstream skills consume without reprocessing — or run the research here through web fan-out. Shipped type packs: market, domain, technical, competitive, user-voice, academic-lit — plus a select shape for choose-between decisions 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".

Quality

Content

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

Exemplary instruction-skill body: dense and assumption-respecting prose, concrete executable commands and a JSON contract, explicit sequenced workflow with a plan-gate checkpoint, and clean one-level progressive disclosure to verified reference files. No verbosity or concept-teaching filler.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and dense — no explaining concepts Claude already knows, no padding; compressed phrasing like 'A claim is a sentence with a source' and tables/inline lists assume competence, every token earning its place.

3 / 3

Actionability

Executable, copy-paste-ready commands throughout — 'uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/memlog.py', 'uv run scripts/recon_kit.py slug', and a complete headless JSON output block — concrete rather than abstract.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Clear sequenced activation steps, an intents table routing to references, the plan-gate hard stop, and landing-time verification checkpoints with feedback loops (re-validate on failure) for the destructive/batch research operations.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Overview-only SKILL.md with well-signaled one-level-deep references (draft/process/run/lifecycle/selection/synthesis/verification/finalize); all cited paths resolve to real bundle files, and the overview appropriately defers detail to those references.

Description

92%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description: concrete three-mode capability statement, explicit trigger phrases, and a distinct decision-grade-research niche. It is dense and long, but every clause earns its place and nothing reads as vague fluff.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions — 'draft a deep-research prompt', 'process a finished research report — file it, distill a succinct cited summary', 'run the research here through web fan-out' — plus named type packs and a select decision shape.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (three services with type packs and custom types) and 'when' with an explicit 'Use when ...' trigger clause listing concrete activation phrases.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Strong natural-phrase coverage a user would actually say: 'deep recon', 'research this', 'draft a research prompt', 'process this research report', 'market research', 'domain research', 'technical research', 'competitor research', 'literature review', 'help me choose between'.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear niche (decision-grade research via three routing modes) with distinct triggers like 'deep recon' and 'process this research report' that are unlikely to collide with other skills.
