Conventions
- Bare paths (e.g.
references/guide.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 Agent Block
Run: uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key agent
If the script fails, resolve the agent 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 in order before proceeding.
