Words and menu codes
Help-menu codes are the same words as the step, shortened:
| Menu | Say this | Skill |
|---|---|---|
| SO | Solo | bglad-solo |
| TE | Team | bglad-team |
| DS | Design | bglad-architecture |
| DEV | Dev / implement | bglad-dev |
| RV | Review | bglad-review |
| QA | Tests / QA | bglad-qa |
| MR | Ticket, merge request, or pull request | bglad-ticket-mr |
| NOTE | Knowledge note | bglad-knowledge |
| REMY | Remy (delivery) | bglad-agent-delivery |
MR files a Jira issue, clones a released bug, or opens the change request
on your git host: a GitLab merge request or a GitHub pull request,
from git_forge on the org overlay. Empty git_forge → the skill asks.
Pick one path. Solo is not “Team with one person skipping steps.” Team still runs review and tests even if the same person wears those hats.
