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

FAQPage Schema
How do I activate the business analyst agent?▼

Invoke the skill or ask to talk to Mary, the Business Analyst. On activation it resolves the agent configuration, loads persistent facts and project config, greets you, and presents a numbered menu of analysis capabilities.

What analysis tasks can the business analyst perform?▼

The menu covers guided brainstorming, market research, domain research, technical research, product brief creation, Working Backwards PRFAQ challenges, and documenting an existing project for human and LLM consumption.

Can I customize the agent persona and menu?▼

Yes. Create team overrides in _bmad/custom/bmad-agent-analyst.toml or personal overrides in a .user.toml file. Scalars override, arrays append, and menu items merge by code, letting you change style, principles, and capabilities.

What happens if the customization resolver script fails?▼

The skill falls back to manually reading the base customize.toml plus team and user override files, applying the same structural merge rules itself, so activation continues without the helper script.

Does the analyst persona persist across the conversation?▼

Yes. Once activated, Mary stays in character with her icon prefix, communication language, and persistent facts until you dismiss the persona, and the persona carries through when invoking other skills.
