BA-Kit

[Meta] How to use BA-Kit effectively. Use when starting with BA-Kit, unsure which agent to invoke, or when an AI agent needs to map user intent to the right skill.

[Agentic] Agile BA Practices - User Story Mapping, MVP Definition, Hypothesis-Driven Development

[Agentic] Business Rules Management - decision tables, decision trees, rule catalog, conflict detection

[Agentic] Change Management - ADKAR, readiness assessment, training needs, go-live planning, benefits realization

[Agentic] Communication & Reporting - audience-adapted messaging, status reports, executive summaries

[Agentic] Conflict Resolution & Negotiation - resolve stakeholder disagreements (SKILL-06)

[Agentic] Confluence Integration Bridge — publish BA docs to Confluence, import existing pages, sync specs with Transport Gate reflection

[Agentic] Data Architecture - ERD, Data Dictionary, DFD, data mapping, migration planning, analytics requirements

[Agentic] Elicitation & Questioning - extract hidden requirements (SKILL-02)

[Agentic] Enterprise Document Export - convert MD requirements to DOCX for Bank/Government compliance (SKILL-21)

[Agentic] Workshop Facilitation - plan, run, and follow-up on effective workshops

[Agentic] BA Identity & Competencies - establish expert persona and stakeholder framework (SKILL-01)

[Agentic] Innovation & Improvement (OID) - Experimentation, A/B Testing, and Process Optimization (SKILL-20)

[Agentic] Jira Integration Bridge — publish BA artifacts to Jira, sync tickets, manage sprints with Transport Gate reflection

[Agentic] Master Dispatcher - The Orchestrator of the BA-Kit Squad (44 Agents)

[Agentic] Requirements Metrics & SPC - Statistical Process Control for Quality (SKILL-18)

[Agentic] NFR Framework with ISO 25010 - specify quality attributes and non-functional requirements (SKILL-04)

[Agentic] Prioritization Techniques - rank features and make trade-off decisions (SKILL-05)

[Agentic] Process Modeling - BPMN and As-Is/To-Be analysis (SKILL-16)

[Agentic] Root Cause Analysis & Resolution (CAR) - Fishbone and 5 Whys (SKILL-19)

[Agentic] Solution Evaluation - Business Case, ROI analysis, and Post-Implementation Review (SKILL-17)

[Agentic] Strategic Analysis - PESTLE, SWOT, Business Model Canvas, Porter's Five Forces

[Agentic] Systems Thinking - analyze complex systems using Stocks, Flows, Loops, and Leverage Points

[Agentic] UX Research - personas, journey mapping, empathy maps, JTBD, usability testing

[Agentic] Validation & Verification - ensure quality and correctness (SKILL-08)

[Agentic] LLM Wiki — persistent compounding knowledge base. Ingest sources, query knowledge, lint for health. Karpathy pattern.

[Agentic] Requirements Writing - transform notes into high-quality user stories (SKILL-03)

[Agentic] Spec Drift Detector - compares BRD/SRS/RTM against delivered evidence (UAT reports, release notes, demo notes, hand-off docs) to find where what shipped no longer matches what was specified

[Agentic] Meta-Reviewer - strict-sequential pipeline that runs consistency → quality-gate → traceability → auditor in one command, with optional dual-voice second-opinion per phase

[Agentic] CCB Baseline Manager - locks approved BRD/SRS/US artifacts with version label + signer + rationale + date, tracks the full version history, and flags any unauthorized change. The BA never sees hashes — agent handles integrity check internally.

[Agentic] Devil's Advocate Red-Teamer - deliberately attacks requirements drafts to expose unstated assumptions, stakeholder incentive traps, adversarial exploits, scale-breaks, and sunset cases. Complements ba-validation (rubric-based) with adversarial attack.

[Agentic] Session State Capture - saves in-progress elicitation/workshop state so the BA can resume hours or days later without re-reading notes. Works at any sprint phase.

[Agentic] CCB Change-Control Watch - alerts the BA when an approved BRD/SRS/US has been edited after sign-off. Three modes (off / warn / strict). Optional advanced opt-in for git pre-commit enforcement.

[Agentic] Emergent Memory Manager - per-project JSONL capturing patterns, pitfalls, and stakeholder preferences learned during BA work. Complements BM25 static knowledge base with dynamic, session-spanning memory.

[Agentic] Requirements Sprint Retro - reports requirements churn, quality gate rejection trends, cycle time, and stakeholder responsiveness from BA-Kit metric streams (with optional file-mtime / git fallback)

[Agentic] Cross-Model Reviewer - invokes a different LLM (Gemini, OpenAI, Ollama) to independently review an artifact, then reconciles the two verdicts. Enables the --dual-voice mode of @ba-autoreview.

[Agentic] One-Time Setup Wizard - BA-friendly natural-language wizard that walks the BA through configuring Jira/Confluence/second-opinion provider credentials. Asks IT for the values, the BA just pastes them in. Replaces the engineer-mode .env editing entirely.

[Agentic] Variant Generator - produces N alternative versions of an artifact (stories, acceptance criteria, prioritizations, emails) so the BA can compare side-by-side and pick. Captures preference to @ba-learn for future sessions.

Manage Confluence Data Center via REST API. Use for `CQL` search, page CRUD, spaces, labels, comments, attachments, and bulk operations with PAT auth.

Connect to Jira Data Center via REST API using Personal Access Tokens (PAT). Use this skill whenever the user mentions "Jira", "issues", "tickets", "sprints", "boards", "JQL", "backlog", "epic", "story", "bug tracking", "issue transitions", "Jira search", "create ticket", "update issue", "sprint planning", or any task related to Jira project management. Also trigger when the user wants to automate Jira workflows, bulk-update issues, generate Jira reports, or integrate Jira with other tools. This skill handles full CRUD operations plus advanced features like transitions, attachments, sprints, and bulk operations on Jira Data Center.
