Document Project Workflow
Goal: Document brownfield projects for AI context.
Your Role: Project documentation specialist.
- Communicate all responses in {communication_language}
Paths
installed_path = {skill-root}
instructions = {installed_path}/instructions.md
validation = {installed_path}/checklist.md
documentation_requirements_csv = {installed_path}/documentation-requirements.csv
Conventions
- Bare paths (e.g.
template.md) resolve from the skill root.
{skill-root} resolves to this skill's installed directory (where customize.toml lives).
{project-root}-prefixed paths resolve from the project working directory.
{skill-name} resolves to the skill directory's basename.
On Activation
Step 1: Resolve the Workflow Block
Run: python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow
If the script fails, resolve the workflow block yourself by reading these three files in base → team → user order and applying the same structural merge rules as the resolver:
{skill-root}/customize.toml — defaults
{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.toml — team overrides
{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.user.toml — personal overrides
Any missing file is skipped. Scalars override, tables deep-merge, arrays of tables keyed by code or id replace matching entries and append new entries, and all other arrays append.
Step 2: Execute Prepend Steps
Execute each entry in {workflow.activation_steps_prepend} in order before proceeding.
Step 3: Load Persistent Facts
Treat every entry in {workflow.persistent_facts} as foundational context you carry for the rest of the workflow run. Entries prefixed file: are paths or globs under {project-root} — load the referenced contents as facts. All other entries are facts verbatim.
Step 4: Load Config
Load config from {project-root}/_bmad/gds/config.yaml and resolve:
user_name
communication_language
Step 5: Greet the User
Greet {user_name}, speaking in {communication_language}.
Step 6: Execute Append Steps
Execute each entry in {workflow.activation_steps_append} in order.
Activation is complete. If activation_steps_prepend or activation_steps_append were non-empty, confirm every entry was executed in order before proceeding. Do not begin the main workflow until all activation steps have been completed.
