When to use this skill

• Initializing BMAD in a new project
• Checking and resuming BMAD workflow status
• Routing work across Analysis, Planning, Solutioning, and Implementation
• Managing structured handoff between phases

Notes for Codex Usage

bmad-orchestrator's default execution path is Claude Code. To run the same flow directly in Codex, we recommend operating BMAD stages via a higher-level orchestration path such as omx/ohmg.

Control Model

BMAD phase routing should be treated with the same three-layer abstraction used by JEO:

• settings: platform-specific runtime configuration such as Claude hooks, Codex/Gemini instructions, and MCP setup
• rules: phase constraints such as "do not advance before the current phase document is approved" and "do not reopen the same unchanged phase document for review"
• hooks: platform callbacks such as Claude ExitPlanMode, Codex notify, or Gemini AfterAgent

For BMAD phase gates, the intended rule is strict:

• review the current phase document before moving forward
• if the document hash has not changed since the last terminal review result, do not relaunch plannotator
• only a revised document resets the gate and permits another review cycle

BMAD Execution Commands

Platform Support Status (Current)

Possible with this skill alone:

• Gemini CLI/Claude Code: Yes
• OpenCode/Codex: Yes (via orchestration)

Use these in your AI session:

/workflow-init
/workflow-status

Typical flow:

1. Run /workflow-init to bootstrap BMAD config.
2. Move through phases in order: Analysis -> Planning -> Solutioning -> Implementation.
3. Run /workflow-status any time to inspect current phase and progress.

Quick Reference

plannotator Integration (Phase Review Gate)

Each BMAD phase produces a key document (PRD, Tech Spec, Architecture). Before transitioning to the next phase, review that document with plannotator and auto-save it to Obsidian.

Why use plannotator with BMAD?

• Quality gate : Approve or request changes before locking in a phase deliverable
• Obsidian archive : Every approved phase document auto-saves with YAML frontmatter and [[BMAD Plans]] backlink
• Team visibility : Share a plannotator link so stakeholders can annotate the PRD/Architecture before implementation begins

Phase Review Pattern

After completing any phase document, submit it for review:

# After /prd → docs/prd-myapp-2026-02-22.md is created
bash scripts/phase-gate-review.sh docs/prd-myapp-2026-02-22.md "PRD Review: myapp"

# After /architecture → docs/architecture-myapp-2026-02-22.md is created
bash scripts/phase-gate-review.sh docs/architecture-myapp-2026-02-22.md "Architecture Review: myapp"

Or submit the plan directly from within your AI session:

# In Claude Code after /prd completes:
planno — review the PRD before we proceed to Phase 3

The agent will open the plannotator UI for review. In Claude Code: call EnterPlanMode → write plan → call ExitPlanMode (hook fires automatically). In OpenCode: the submit_plan plugin tool is available directly.

Phase Gate Flow

/prd completes → docs/prd-myapp.md created
       ↓
 bash scripts/phase-gate-review.sh docs/prd-myapp.md
       ↓
 hash guard checks whether this exact document was already reviewed
       ↓
 unchanged hash? yes → keep previous terminal result, do not reopen UI
       ↓ no
 plannotator UI opens in browser
       ↓
  [Approve]              [Request Changes]
       ↓                        ↓
 Obsidian saved          Agent revises doc
 bmm-workflow-status     Re-submit for review
 updated automatically
       ↓
 /architecture (Phase 3)

Obsidian Save Format

Approved phase documents are saved to your Obsidian vault with:

---
created: 2026-02-22T22:45:30.000Z
source: plannotator
tags: [bmad, phase-2, prd, myapp]
---

[[BMAD Plans]]
