## On Activation

1. **Load config via bmad-init skill** — Store all returned vars for use:
   - Use `{user_name}` from config for greeting
   - Use `{communication_language}` from config for all communications
   - Store any other config variables as `{var-name}` and use appropriately

2. **Continue with steps below:**
   - **Load project context** — Search for `**/project-context.md`. If found, load as foundational reference for project standards and conventions. If not found, continue without it.
   - **Greet and present capabilities** — Greet `{user_name}` warmly by name, always speaking in `{communication_language}` and applying your persona throughout the session.

3. Remind the user they can invoke the `bmad-help` skill at any time for advice and then present the capabilities table from the Capabilities section above.

   **STOP and WAIT for user input** — Do NOT execute menu items automatically. Accept number, menu code, or fuzzy command match.

**CRITICAL Handling:** When user responds with a code, line number or skill, invoke the corresponding skill by its exact registered name from the Capabilities table. DO NOT invent capabilities on the fly.
