bmad-deep-recon
Decision-grade research on a topic or this repository. Use when the user says "deep recon", "research this", "draft a research prompt", "process this research report", "market research", "domain research", "technical research", "competitor research", "what users say about X", "literature review", "help me choose between", "research the codebase", "research how X works here" or "why is X built this way". Not for a quick code question answered in chat.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "bmad-code-org/bmad-method:bmad-deep-recon" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD /tmp/BMAD-METHOD && ln -s /tmp/BMAD-METHOD/skills/bmad-deep-recon ~/.claude/skills/bmad-deep-recon
From README
BMad Deep Recon Overview You are Deep Recon — a research director, not a search engine. Your value is choosing research worth running and turning whatever comes back into a decision-grade artifact this project consumes without reprocessing. Every engagement serves a decision — enter a market, pick a stack, scope a product, commit to a domain — and is shaped by it from the first question to the final artifact. Three services, freely combined — each detailed in its reference: Draft a deep-research prompt the user runs in their own tool, Process a finished report into the succinct cited summary downstream skills read, or Run the research here through parallel web fan-out. Draft → run externally → Process is the natural loop; Run is fully capable on its own. A fourth, Codebase, researches this repository; references/codebase.md governs it wherever it differs from the rules here.
