Fix leaked source paths in PRD validation report (#1481)
Replace /src/core/ paths with {project-root}/_bmad/core/ convention
in validation-report-prd-workflow.md lines 293-294.

These paths reference party-mode and advanced-elicitation workflows
using the source tree layout (/src/core/) instead of the installed
layout ({project-root}/_bmad/core/) that Beta.4 standardized
across all other files.

This is the remaining half of the fix for #1435, which was closed
as "will fix with .4 release" but only the brianmadison path on
line 11 and the XML syntax issue were addressed. The /src/core/
paths on lines 293-294 were missed.

Fixes #1480

fix: complete sharding of market research customer analysis steps (#1486)
Connect orphaned detailed customer analysis chain (steps 02-behavior,
03-pain-points, 04-decisions) by updating step-01-init to load
step-02-customer-behavior instead of the condensed
step-02-customer-insights. Remove the now-superseded monolithic file.

Fixes #1399

docs: Add exact slash commands to getting-started guide (#1505)
The getting-started tutorial referenced agents and workflows by name
(e.g., "Load the PM agent", "Run the prd workflow") without providing
the actual commands to type. This adds the exact slash commands inline
alongside the existing prose so new users know precisely what to run.

fix: remove .claude/commands file from version control (#1506)
This file was accidentally tracked despite .claude/commands being in
.gitignore. The installer generates this file at install time from
source templates — it should not be tracked in the repo.

:::note[How to Load Agents and Run Workflows]
Each workflow has a **slash command** you run in your IDE (e.g., `/bmad-bmm-create-prd`). Running a workflow command automatically loads the appropriate agent — you don't need to load agents separately. You can also load an agent directly for general conversation (e.g., `/bmad-agent-bmm-pm` for the PM agent).

# Market Research Step 2: Customer Insights
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
- 🛑 NEVER generate content without web search verification
- 📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete decisions
- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
- ✅ Search the web to verify and supplement your knowledge with current facts
- 📋 YOU ARE A CUSTOMER INSIGHTS ANALYST, not content generator
- 💬 FOCUS on customer behavior and needs analysis
- 🔍 WEB SEARCH REQUIRED - verify current facts against live sources
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Show web search analysis before presenting findings
- ⚠️ Present [C] continue option after customer insights content generation
- 💾 ONLY save when user chooses C (Continue)
- 📖 Update frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1, 2]` before loading next step
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Current document and frontmatter from step-01 are available
- Focus on customer behavior and needs analysis
- Web search capabilities with source verification are enabled
- May need to search for current customer behavior trends
## YOUR TASK:
Conduct comprehensive customer insights analysis with emphasis on behavior patterns and needs.
## CUSTOMER INSIGHTS SEQUENCE:
### 1. Begin Customer Insights Analysis
**UTILIZE SUBPROCESSES AND SUBAGENTS**: Use research subagents, subprocesses or parallel processing if available to thoroughly analyze different customer areas simultaneously and thoroughly
Start with customer research approach:
"Now I'll conduct **customer insights analysis** to understand customer behavior and needs.
**Customer Insights Focus:**
- Customer behavior patterns and preferences
- Pain points and challenges
- Decision-making processes
- Customer journey mapping
- Customer satisfaction drivers
- Demographic and psychographic profiles
**Let me search for current customer insights using parallel web searches for comprehensive coverage.**"
### 2. Parallel Customer Research Execution
**Execute multiple web searches simultaneously:**
Search the web: "[product/service/market] customer behavior patterns"
Search the web: "[product/service/market] customer pain points challenges"
Search the web: "[product/service/market] customer decision process"
**Analysis approach:**
- Look for customer behavior studies and surveys
- Search for customer experience and interaction patterns
- Research customer satisfaction methodologies
- Note generational and cultural customer variations
- Research customer pain points and frustrations
- Analyze decision-making processes and criteria
### 3. Analyze and Aggregate Results
**Collect and analyze findings from all parallel searches:**
"After executing comprehensive parallel web searches, let me analyze and aggregate the customer insights:
**Research Coverage:**
- Customer behavior patterns and preferences
- Pain points and challenges
- Decision-making processes and journey mapping
**Cross-Customer Analysis:**
[Identify patterns connecting behavior, pain points, and decisions]
**Quality Assessment:**
[Overall confidence levels and research gaps identified]"
### 4. Generate Customer Insights Content
Prepare customer analysis with web search citations:
#### Content Structure:
When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:
```markdown
## Customer Insights
### Customer Behavior Patterns
[Customer behavior analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Pain Points and Challenges
[Pain points analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Decision-Making Processes
[Decision-making analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Customer Journey Mapping
[Customer journey analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Customer Satisfaction Drivers
[Satisfaction drivers analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Demographic Profiles
[Demographic profiles analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
### Psychographic Profiles
[Psychographic profiles analysis with source citations]
_Source: [URL]_
```
### 5. Present Analysis and Continue Option
Show the generated customer insights and present continue option:
"I've completed the **customer insights analysis** for customer behavior and needs.
**Key Customer Findings:**
- Customer behavior patterns clearly identified
- Pain points and challenges thoroughly documented
- Decision-making processes mapped
- Customer journey insights captured
- Satisfaction and profile data analyzed
**Ready to proceed to competitive analysis?**
[C] Continue - Save this to the document and proceed to competitive analysis
### 6. Handle Continue Selection
#### If 'C' (Continue):
- Append the final content to the research document
- Update frontmatter: `stepsCompleted: [1, 2]`
- Load: `./step-05-competitive-analysis.md`
## APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
When user selects 'C', append the content directly to the research document using the structure from step 4.
## SUCCESS METRICS:
✅ Customer behavior patterns identified with current citations
✅ Pain points and challenges clearly documented
✅ Decision-making processes thoroughly analyzed
✅ Customer journey insights captured and mapped
✅ Customer satisfaction drivers identified
✅ [C] continue option presented and handled correctly
✅ Content properly appended to document when C selected
## FAILURE MODES:
❌ Relying solely on training data without web verification for current facts
❌ Missing critical customer behavior patterns
❌ Not identifying key pain points and challenges
❌ Incomplete customer journey mapping
❌ Not presenting [C] continue option after content generation
❌ Appending content without user selecting 'C'
**CRITICAL**: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions
**CRITICAL**: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file
**CRITICAL**: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols
## CUSTOMER RESEARCH PROTOCOLS:
- Search for customer behavior studies and surveys
- Use market research firm and industry association sources
- Research customer experience and interaction patterns
- Note generational and cultural customer variations
- Research customer satisfaction methodologies
## NEXT STEP:
After user selects 'C' and content is saved to document, load `./step-05-competitive-analysis.md` to focus on competitive landscape analysis.
Remember: Always emphasize current customer data and rigorous source verification!
