Words and menu codes

Help-menu codes are the same words as the step, shortened:

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.

WordMeaning
OverlayExtra skills installed on top of BMad. BMad itself stays as shipped
OverrideSparse _bmad/custom/ TOML (or a squad table) that changes defaults. See Override defaults

Long-term support (LTS)A released version we still patch. Clone a released Bug onto each supported line
PRDBMad’s product-requirements workflow (bmad-prd). Solo or Team replace that for overlay work, on whichever spec location install chose
HALTStop. Do not continue the path
ASKAsk the human and wait. Do not guess
