BMad Spec

Overview

Canonical transformer for the BMad spec-kernel ecosystem. Takes any intent input — vague idea, brain dump, PRD, GDD, RFC, brief, Slack thread, customer email, meeting transcript, mockups, mixed multi-source — and produces spec-{slug}.md carrying the five-field kernel (Why, Capabilities, Constraints, Non-goals, Success signal) plus companion files for load-bearing content that does not fit or would bloat the kernel with expansive line-item detail. Together they are the machine contract every downstream BMad skill consumes.

Multiple skills may call to update the same spec over time.

Conventions

  • Bare paths (e.g. assets/spec-template.md) resolve from the skill root.
  • {skill-root} is this skill's install dir; {project-root} is the nearest folder containing _bmad/, starting at the working dir and moving up through its parents.
  • {workflow.<name>} resolves to fields in customize.toml.
