DEPRECATED — forwards to bmad-prd (create intent)

This skill was consolidated into bmad-prd. It is retained as a thin compatibility shim so existing invocations by name and _bmad/custom/bmad-create-prd.toml override files keep working. New work should invoke bmad-prd directly — it detects create / update / validate intent from the conversation.

On Activation

1. Resolve customization: python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow. This picks up any {project-root}/_bmad/custom/bmad-create-prd.toml and bmad-create-prd.user.toml overrides for the legacy fields (activation_steps_prepend, activation_steps_append, persistent_facts, on_complete).

2. Load {project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml (and config.user.yaml if present) to resolve {user_name} and {communication_language}.

3. Emit a deprecation notice to the user in {communication_language}:

   Notice: bmad-create-prd is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. It now forwards to bmad-prd with create intent. To silence this notice and access the full new customization surface (prd_template, validation_checklist, doc_standards, external_sources, external_handoffs, output_dir, output_folder_name), migrate _bmad/custom/bmad-create-prd.toml to _bmad/custom/bmad-prd.toml and invoke bmad-prd directly next time. Customization fields that were in this version still remain in the new version and will be respected if present in _bmad/custom/bmad-prd.toml, but the new version also supports additional fields that you can take advantage of by migrating.

4. Invoke bmad-prd with the following context. Pass these as the activating context so bmad-prd honors them instead of resolving its own customization from scratch:

   • Intent: create — skip bmad-prd's usual intent detection step.
   • Pre-resolved legacy customization — use these in place of resolving from bmad-prd's own customize.toml for the four legacy fields. For everything else (prd_template, validation_checklist, validation_report_template, doc_standards, output_dir, output_folder_name, external_sources, external_handoffs), use bmad-prd's own defaults and overrides as normal:
     • activation_steps_prepend = the resolved value from step 1
     • activation_steps_append = the resolved value from step 1
     • persistent_facts = the resolved value from step 1
     • on_complete = the resolved value from step 1
   • Original user input: forward whatever the user said when invoking this skill verbatim.

   bmad-prd takes the workflow from here. Do not execute any further steps in this shim.
