About bmad-technical-research
bmad-technical-research is a deprecated compatibility skill that forwards technical research requests to bmad-deep-recon. It preserves support for legacy customization files; new work is directed to bmad-deep-recon.
Key features
- 01Forwards requests to bmad-deep-recon

Details
From the project READMEDEPRECATED — forwards to bmad-deep-recon (technical type)
This skill was consolidated into bmad-deep-recon. It is retained as a thin compatibility shim so existing invocations by name and _bmad/custom/bmad-technical-research.toml override files keep working. New work should invoke bmad-deep-recon directly — it drafts deep-research prompts for outside tools, processes finished reports into downstream-ready summaries, and runs research directly, across market, domain, technical, competitive, user-voice, and academic-lit types (plus a select shape for choose-between decisions and custom types).
On Activation
- Resolve customization:
uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow. This picks up any{project-root}/_bmad/custom/bmad-technical-research.tomlandbmad-technical-research.user.tomloverrides for the legacy fields (activation_steps_prepend,activation_steps_append,persistent_facts,on_complete). - Emit a deprecation notice to the user (in their configured communication language):
bmad-technical-researchis deprecated and forwards tobmad-deep-reconwith the technical type. To silence this notice and access the full new surface (draft/process/run modes, research types, verification levels, HTML briefing, handoffs), migrate_bmad/custom/bmad-technical-research.tomlto_bmad/custom/bmad-deep-recon.tomland invokebmad-deep-recondirectly. - Invoke
bmad-deep-reconwith: research typetechnical(skip its type inference), the four legacy fields above as pre-resolved values, and the user's original input verbatim.bmad-deep-recontakes the workflow from here — do not execute any further steps in this shim.
