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

Drop the redundant bmm prefix from the product brief preview skill folder
to align with the standard naming convention.

Remove name/description from step frontmatter (STEP-06) and inline

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.
SKILL-05 checks that SKILL.md name matches the directory name.
REF-01 checks that every {variable} traces to frontmatter, config,
or runtime — exempts {{double-curly}} template placeholders.

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.
