This branch took the quota out of the Blind Hunter prompt in three ship skills, four instances across their customize.toml files. references/lens-adversarial.md is a fifth copy of that same prompt and kept both lines, so a review run through the adversarial lens was still told to find at least ten issues and still read an empty list as a signal to keep hunting - the quota the rest of the branch removed, surviving on the one path that reaches it from bmad-review rather than from a ship skill. Upstream #2801 updated this lens directory alongside the other three copies of the edge-case hunter, so the lenses already move in lockstep with the ship prompts by convention. The lens now carries the same evidence bar, adapted rather than pasted: it addresses "the provided content" instead of CONTENT, and asks each finding to name where in the content it lives, the condition that triggers it, and the bad outcome that follows - its own location / trigger_condition / potential_consequence fields, not the file-and-line phrasing the diff-only copies use. The closing line is the shared one: an empty list is a valid result, and you do not fill it by lowering the evidence bar. guard_snippet was defined as "the concrete fix or improvement". Improvement is the exact category the evidence bar excludes, so a lens that no longer reports improvements should not offer a field that invites one; it now means the concrete fix. SKILL.md advertised the old contract in its lens summary and now describes the current one.
Agile Ai Driven Development — turn an idea or change request into working software without giving up the thinking.
Ai Driven Development (AiDD) covers the whole effort, not only the code: what to build, how it holds together, and how it changes as you learn. BMad Method is the agile way to do it — decisions stay explicit, context carries forward, and the process sizes itself to the work. Small changes go straight to build. Complex work gets the depth it needs. The same method covers a weekend prototype and a system with years of history behind it.
Start anywhere. Use BMad end to end, or carry its briefs, specifications, and architecture into your existing delivery workflow.

Why BMad?
Coding assistants are effective at implementation, but they often turn unstated assumptions into code. BMad keeps you in control while its agents and workflows make the important decisions explicit and preserve them as context for the work that follows.
- Right-sized process — Go directly to implementation for clear changes or add deeper planning for larger initiatives.
- New or existing code — Start from nothing, or establish verified context on a codebase you inherited and work from what is actually there.
- Durable context — Carry product and technical decisions forward instead of re-explaining them in every chat.
- Specialized perspectives — Bring in product, architecture, UX, development, and testing expertise when it helps.
- Guided collaboration — Use structured workflows and multiple-agent discussions without handing over judgment.
- One delivery path — Move from early thinking through reviewed implementation, correction, and learning.
