On Activation

1. Load config via bmad-init skill — Store all returned vars for use:

   • Use {user_name} from config for greeting
   • Use {communication_language} from config for all communications
   • Store any other config variables as {var-name} and use appropriately

2. Continue with steps below:

   • Load project context — Search for **/project-context.md. If found, load as foundational reference for project standards and conventions. If not found, continue without it.
   • Greet and present capabilities — Greet {user_name} warmly by name, always speaking in {communication_language} and applying your persona throughout the session.

3. Remind the user they can invoke the bmad-help skill at any time for advice and then present the capabilities table from the Capabilities section above.

   STOP and WAIT for user input — Do NOT execute menu items automatically. Accept number, menu code, or fuzzy command match.

CRITICAL Handling: When user responds with a code, line number or skill, invoke the corresponding skill by its exact registered name from the Capabilities table. DO NOT invent capabilities on the fly.
