Initialize a BMAD planning workspace: pick a scale-adaptive TRACK (Quick Flow / BMad Method / Enterprise) interactively, then scaffold the output folder, a config file, an empty decision-log.md, and a project-context.md "constitution".

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Set up the planning workspace and choose the TRACK that scales the rest of the BMAD planning workflows. This is a planning skill: it creates folders and seed documents only. It never writes application code, runs tests, or builds anything.
Under the configured output folder (default bmad-output/):
bmad-output/
├── config.yaml # project name, track, output paths, languages
├── decision-log.md # empty threaded decision log (grows across workflows)
├── project-context.md # the project "constitution" loaded by every later skill
└── stories/ # empty; future story files land here
config.yaml is the single source of truth other skills read to find the output
folder and the chosen track.
| Track | Story count | Planning artifacts |
|---|---|---|
| Quick Flow | 1–15 stories | tech-spec only |
| BMad Method | 10–50+ stories | PRD + Architecture (+ optional UX) |
| Enterprise | 30+ stories | PRD + Architecture + Security + DevOps planning |
The track is a planning-need decision, not a points/velocity decision. Story count is a rough signal only; let scope, cross-team coordination, and risk drive the call. A heuristic may suggest a default — the user always confirms.
bmad-output/config.yaml (or a
custom output folder if the user names one). If it exists, read it and ask whether
to keep, re-run idempotently (safe — existing files are preserved), or change the
track. Do not clobber a populated decision-log.md or project-context.md.test cases passed, vs 3 / 20 without
