Address findings from adversarial review: clarify spec_file as path
variable (F4), add file list construction rule (F8), HALT on unparseable
diffs (F9), differentiate empty findings handling (F5), merge evidence
during dedup instead of dropping (F6), and fix NEXT step paths (F1).

Replace three inconsistent skill reference patterns (frontmatter variables
with raw paths, frontmatter variables with skill: prefix, inline Execute
skill: syntax) with a single natural-language convention across all workflow
and task step files.

Party-mode moved from core/workflows/ to core/skills/ in PR #1959,
breaking 11 file references. Convert all to skill:bmad-party-mode
matching the convention used by skill:bmad-advanced-elicitation.

* docs: add core tools reference and apply Diataxis style fixes
Add comprehensive reference doc for all 11 built-in core tools (tasks
and workflows) that ship with every BMad installation — bmad-help,
brainstorming, party-mode, distillator, advanced-elicitation, both
review tools, both editorial tools, shard-doc, and index-docs. Each
entry follows the Configuration Reference structure with purpose,
use cases, how it works, inputs, and outputs.
Style fixes across existing docs:
- reference/commands.md: convert #### headers to bold text, replace
sparse task table with link to new core-tools reference
- how-to/get-answers-about-bmad.md: remove horizontal rule between
sections (Diataxis violation)
- how-to/project-context.md: consolidate 4 consecutive tip admonitions
into single admonition with bullet list, add AGENTS.md reference
Also includes:
- Add bmad-distillator task to core module with compression agents,
format reference, splitting strategy, and analysis scripts
- Add Distillator entry to module-help.csv
- Rename supports-autonomous to supports-headless in product-brief
manifest

The market-research workflow now lives entirely in
bmad-market-research/ as a native skill directory.

Move validate-prd from a workflow entry in create-prd manifest to a
self-contained skill at src/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/bmad-validate-prd/.
Update pm.agent.yaml and module-help.csv to use skill: URI.

Strip name/description from all step frontmatter (STEP-06), remove
intra-skill path variables and inline them (PATH-04), move outputFile
to workflow.md (WF-03), fix stale step-11-complete refs (REF-02),
fix product_knowledge typo (REF-01), rewrite continuation logic
to use a lookup table, and strip legacy source workflow frontmatter.

Move the create-prd workflow into src/core/tasks/bmad-create-prd/ as a
self-contained native skill with SKILL.md, workflow.md, steps-c/, data/,
and templates/. Update all internal path references from absolute
{project-root}/_bmad/... to relative paths. Mark the source
workflow-create-prd.md as standalone:false to prevent duplicate manifest
entries. Update pm.agent.yaml and module-help.csv to use skill:bmad-create-prd.
Remove installed_path and unused intra-skill path variables from
workflow.md (PATH-02, PATH-04).

Remove installed_path definition and intra-skill path variables
from workflow.md (PATH-02, PATH-04).

Remove name/description from step frontmatter (STEP-06) and add
missing HALT before user menu in step-04-final-validation (STEP-04).

Remove name/description from step frontmatter (STEP-06) and inline
nextStepFile/templateFile path variables as literal relative paths
(PATH-04).

Move edit-prd workflow and steps-e/ out of the shared create-prd directory
into its own bmad-edit-prd skill directory with SKILL.md, workflow.md, and
bmad-skill-manifest.yaml. Update pm.agent.yaml and module-help.csv to use
skill:bmad-edit-prd. Fix validationWorkflow path in step-e-04 to use
absolute {project-root} reference since relative path breaks after move.
Remove name/description from step frontmatter (STEP-06), inline
intra-skill path variables (PATH-04), prefix bare external path
with {project-root} (PATH-03), and normalize template placeholders
to double-curly convention (REF-01).

Step files are inside steps/ so inter-step references must be
./step-NN.md not ./steps/step-NN.md (which would double-nest).

The agent menu entry for QS was still using a raw file path
instead of the skill dispatcher, inconsistent with module-help.csv.

Move technical-research workflow into bmad-technical-research/ skill
package with SKILL.md, bmad-skill-manifest.yaml, and properly
namespaced step files. Update module-help.csv to use skill: ref.
Remove duplicate technical-steps/ from old location and fix all
cross-references to use the new bmad-technical-research/ path.
