Frequently Asked Questions about bmad-agent-analyst

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a market research session with the business analyst?▼

Invoke the skill and select the MR menu item, or state your intent directly such as asking Mary for market analysis. The persona dispatches to the deep research workflow with the market research type pre-selected.

What can the business analyst persona do?▼

Mary handles brainstorming facilitation, market and domain research, technical landscape analysis, technology selection decisions, competitive teardowns, user-voice research, product brief creation, and PRFAQ challenges through a numbered menu.

Can I customize the business analyst persona and menu?▼

Yes, customization merges three TOML layers: the skill's default customize.toml, team overrides, and personal user overrides. Scalars override, arrays append, and menu items merge by code so you can replace or add capabilities.

Does the analyst skill work without the BMad config files?▼

The activation expects a project config at _bmad/bmm/config.yaml for user name, language, and output paths. If the resolver script fails, the skill falls back to manually reading and merging the TOML customization files.

When should I use the business analyst instead of doing research directly?▼

Use it during the analysis phase before committing to a project, when you need structured, evidence-grounded findings. It is less suitable for execution-phase tasks like coding or implementation planning.
