SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? This Skill preserves backward compatibility for workflows that still invoke the deprecated bmad-editorial-review command, routing them to the consolidated bmad-review skill without breaking existing overrides. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Deprecation Shim: Redirects every invocation to bmad-review using its structure and prose lenses, running structure first so prose builds on structure findings. - Legacy Override Resolution: Resolves legacy customize.toml fields (reader_type, style_guide, review_guidance, output_preferences, and others) and forwards only non-empty values as pre-resolved inputs to bmad-review. - Legacy Output Shape: Presents results in the original two-pass findings table with purpose/audience context and a reduction summary when the structure pass ran. - Use Case: A team with existing bmad-editorial-review override files upgrades to bmad-review; their custom style guide and reader type settings continue to apply without rewriting configuration. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run an editorial review on your document and it will forward the request to bmad-review with the structure and prose lenses.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run an editorial review with the deprecated bmad-editorial-review skill?▼

Invoke it as before and it forwards the request to bmad-review with the structure and prose lenses, structure first. If you asked for a structure-only or prose-only review, only that lens is passed through.

What is the difference between bmad-editorial-review and bmad-review?▼

bmad-editorial-review is deprecated and merged into bmad-review. It acts as a shim that invokes bmad-review's structure and prose lenses and renders results in the legacy two-pass findings table format.

Do my old bmad-editorial-review override files still work?▼

Yes. Overrides in _bmad/custom/bmad-editorial-review.toml and the user variant still resolve and are forwarded to bmad-review as pre-resolved values. Only non-empty fields are forwarded; empty fields fall through to bmad-review defaults.

Where should new customization for editorial reviews go?▼

New customization belongs in bmad-review's customize.toml, which documents every field. The legacy customize.toml exists only so old overrides keep resolving and is overwritten on every update.

What output format does the legacy editorial review produce?▼

It produces the two-pass findings table with columns Pass, Original Text, Revised Text, and Changes, with the purpose and audience read above it. When the structure pass ran, a reduction summary appears below the table.
