BMAD Packet-First Router

Use bmad as the common-layer BMAD/BMM front door.

The job is not to dump every phase command or runtime setup rule. The job is to:

1. identify the packet the user already has,
2. choose the project level and likely current phase,
3. recommend the single next artifact or gate that reduces ambiguity now,
4. route runtime-, review-, execution-, or game-specific detail outward.

Read references/intake-packets-and-route-outs.md first for the fastest routing model. Use references/core-routing.md, references/status-and-review.md, and references/runtime-and-module-boundaries.md when you need more depth.

When to use this skill

• The user wants to start or resume a BMAD/BMM-style workflow from mixed project state
• The user asks what phase comes next after idea notes, a PRD, a tech spec, architecture work, or partial implementation
• The user has an existing repo, issue, review note, or brownfield status and needs the next artifact chosen truthfully
• The user wants a vendor-neutral BMAD front door before dropping into Claude-, Codex-, or Gemini-specific runtime overlays
• The user needs help deciding whether the next move is ideation, planning, architecture, approval, execution slicing, or runtime handoff
