bmad-orchestrator - BMAD Workflow Orchestration

When to use this skill

• Initializing BMAD in a new project
• Checking and resuming BMAD workflow status
• Routing work across Analysis, Planning, Solutioning, and Implementation
• Managing structured handoff between phases

Installation

npx skills add https://github.com/supercent-io/skills-template --skill bmad-orchestrator

Notes for Codex Usage

bmad-orchestrator's default execution path is Claude Code. To run the same flow directly in Codex, we recommend operating BMAD stages via a higher-level orchestration path such as omx/ohmg.

BMAD Execution Commands

Platform Support Status (Current)

Platform	Current support mode	Requirements
Gemini CLI	Native (recommended)	Register the bmad keyword, then run /workflow-init
Claude Code	Native (recommended)	Install skill + remember pattern
OpenCode	Orchestration integration	Use an omx/ohmg/omx-style bridge
Codex	Orchestration integration	Use an omx/ohmg-style bridge

Possible with this skill alone:

• Gemini CLI/Claude Code: Yes
• OpenCode/Codex: Yes (via orchestration)

Use these in your AI session:

/workflow-init
/workflow-status

Typical flow:

1. Run /workflow-init to bootstrap BMAD config.
2. Move through phases in order: Analysis -> Planning -> Solutioning -> Implementation.
3. Run /workflow-status any time to inspect current phase and progress.

plannotator Integration (Phase Review Gate)

Each BMAD phase produces a key document (PRD, Tech Spec, Architecture). Before transitioning to the next phase, review that document with plannotator and auto-save it to Obsidian.

Why use plannotator with BMAD?

• Quality gate: Approve or request changes before locking in a phase deliverable
• Obsidian archive: Every approved phase document auto-saves with YAML frontmatter and [[BMAD Plans]] backlink
• Team visibility: Share a plannotator link so stakeholders can annotate the PRD/Architecture before implementation begins

Phase Review Pattern

After completing any phase document, submit it for review:

# After /prd → docs/prd-myapp-2026-02-22.md is created
bash scripts/phase-gate-review.sh docs/prd-myapp-2026-02-22.md "PRD Review: myapp"

# After /architecture → docs/architecture-myapp-2026-02-22.md is created
bash scripts/phase-gate-review.sh docs/architecture-myapp-2026-02-22.md "Architecture Review: myapp"

Or submit the plan directly from within your AI session:

# In Claude Code after /prd completes:
planno — review the PRD before we proceed to Phase 3

The agent will call submit_plan with the document content, opening the plannotator UI for review.
