## From README

BMad Customize Translate the user's intent into a correctly-placed TOML override file under {project-root}/bmad/custom/ for a customizable agent or workflow skill. Discover, route, author, write, verify. Scope v1: per-skill agent\] overrides (bmad-agent- .toml / .user.toml) and per-skill \[workflow\] overrides (bmad- .toml / .user.toml). Central config ({project-root}/bmad/custom/config.toml) is out of scope — point users at the \[How to Customize BMad guide. When the target's customize.toml doesn't expose what the user wants, say so plainly. Don't invent fields. Preflight No {project-root}/bmad/ → BMad is not set up here. Offer to run the bmad skill's , installing bmad first if you do not have it (npx skills add bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD --skill bmad). Stop if the user declines. {project-root}/bmad/scripts/resolvecustomization.py missing → continue, but Step 6 verify falls back to manual merge. Both present → proceed. Activation Greet the user.
