The facts

Its description

Implements a story, feature, or bug fix end to end: plan, code, review, verify. Use when the user hands one over and leaves the edits to you; a bare ticket id or link counts. Skip obvious, low-risk mechanical maintenance such as small ignore-file, typo-only, formatting-only, or configuration-hygiene edits. Explicit BMAD requests always qualify. Do not volunteer for user-directed interactive edits or version-control operations that only record existing work.

The description the agent reads to decide when to use it.

When it starts

The agent picks this skill when the user hands over a story, feature, or bug fix and leaves the edits to it — a bare ticket id or link is enough, and any explicit BMAD request qualifies. It is not for obvious low-risk mechanical maintenance or for user-directed interactive edits and version-control operations that only record existing work.

Things a person might say (the model's guesses)

“Implement ticket 1.2, the digest delivery story.”
“Fix the auth bug in gh-47 — here's the link.”
“Can you build this feature out from the ticket? I'll leave the edits to you.”

6Run the following command exactly once without changing the current working directory.

8Replace `{project-root}` with the nearest folder containing `_bmad/`, from the working directory upward.

9Replace `{skill-root}` with the absolute path to this skill's directory.

11```bash

12uv run --no-cache "{project-root}/_bmad/scripts/render_skill.py" --project-root "{project-root}" --skill "{skill-root}"

15- When the invocation names a route (`oneshot` or `full`), append `--set workflow.route=<value>` to the command.

16- When the invocation names a review selection (`none`, `quick`, or `thorough`; "skip review" or "no review" mean `none`), append `--set workflow.review=<value>` to the command.

17- The command prints the skill's workflow: follow it. `HALT: <reason>`: report the reason and stop.

18- If the script does not exist, BMad is not set up in this project yet. Offer to set it up using `bmad` skill, then run the command again. If you do not have the `bmad` skill, offer to install it first.

19- On any other output or failure, including `uv` being unavailable, report the command output and stop. Do not run any workflow source directly.
