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".

| description | Deprecated — forwards to bmad-prd (update intent). |
This skill was consolidated into bmad-prd. It is retained as a thin compatibility shim so existing invocations by name and _bmad/custom/bmad-edit-prd.toml override files keep working. New work should invoke bmad-prd directly — it detects create / update / validate intent from the conversation.
Resolve customization: python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow. This picks up any {project-root}/_bmad/custom/bmad-edit-prd.toml and bmad-edit-prd.user.toml overrides for the legacy fields (activation_steps_prepend, activation_steps_append, persistent_facts, on_complete).
Load {project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml (and config.user.yaml if present) to resolve {user_name} and {communication_language}.
Emit a deprecation notice to the user in {communication_language}:
Notice:
bmad-edit-prdis deprecated and will be removed in a future release. It now forwards tobmad-prdwith update intent. To silence this notice and access the full new customization surface (prd_template,validation_checklist_template,validation_report_template,doc_standards,finalize_reviewers,external_sources,external_handoffs,prd_output_path,run_folder_pattern), migrate_bmad/custom/bmad-edit-prd.tomlto_bmad/custom/bmad-prd.tomland invokebmad-prddirectly next time. Customization fields that were in this version still remain in the new version and will be respected if present in_bmad/custom/bmad-prd.toml, but the new version also supports additional fields that you can take advantage of by migrating.
Invoke bmad-prd with the following context. Pass these as the activating context so bmad-prd honors them instead of resolving its own customization from scratch:
update — skip bmad-prd's usual intent detection step.bmad-prd's own customize.toml for the four legacy fields. For everything else (prd_template, validation_checklist_template, validation_report_template, doc_standards, finalize_reviewers, prd_output_path, run_folder_pattern, external_sources, external_handoffs), use bmad-prd's own defaults and overrides as normal:
activation_steps_prepend = the resolved value from step 1activation_steps_append = the resolved value from step 1persistent_facts = the resolved value from step 1on_complete = the resolved value from step 1bmad-prd takes the workflow from here. Do not execute any further steps in this shim.
