BMad Review

Review content through lenses — each a distinct method and stance — and report findings in one canonical shape. Report what is real — never pad to look thorough. Each lens sets its own stance toward the content and toward zero findings: for most an empty result is valid; the adversarial lens requires at least ten concrete findings and treats an empty list as a signal to re-check; the editorial lenses hold content sacrosanct and critique only how it is organized and expressed.

The lens set is whatever {workflow.lenses} resolves to, not a fixed list — overrides add lenses and replace shipped ones. Never claim a capability from this file; read the resolved lenses and work from those.

Inputs

• content — what to review: a diff, branch, uncommitted changes, file, spec, story, or any document. Args: [path].
• lenses (optional) — one or more lens codes or names, however the caller expresses them: a spoken request, or a directive of the form skill:bmad-review lenses=<code>[,<code>...] (the form bmm's doc_standards uses). Default: every applicable lens (a full review).
• also_consider (optional) — areas to keep in mind alongside each lens's normal analysis.
• claims (optional) — the change's own narrative: the commit messages it covers, or whatever description of it the caller supplied. Goes to the edge-case lens alone.
• pre-resolved customization (optional) — [workflow] field values supplied by a forwarding caller. See Execution step 1.

Conventions

• Bare paths (e.g. references/lens-edge-case-hunter.md) resolve from {skill-root} — this skill's installed directory, where customize.toml lives. {project-root} resolves to the project working directory.
• {workflow.<name>} resolves to fields in customize.toml's [workflow] table (overrides win per BMad merge rules).
• In style_guide, review_guidance, and persistent_facts, a value prefixed file: is a path or glob — load that file's contents. If a file: value cannot be read, name the failed file in the output header and continue: the shipped baseline for style_guide, the remaining entries otherwise.
