- Convoke organizes AI agents into domain-specialized teams. Each team brings deep expertise to a specific discipline — product discovery, implementation, operations, or whatever your domain requires. **Vortex**, the product discovery team, is the first. You can install teams independently or combine them.

+ **4 agents assess whether your project is ready to ship — detect your stack, model what "ready" means, find what's missing, and refine together**

152
+
153
+ Most teams ship to production without knowing if they're actually ready — missing SLOs, incomplete observability, unreviewed deployment strategies. Gyre analyzes your project's filesystem, builds a capabilities model tailored to your specific tech stack, and surfaces what's absent. No generic checklists — every finding is contextual to your project.

+ ### What Gyre Produces
191
+
192
+ Gyre writes structured artifacts to `.gyre/` in your project root — safe to commit, containing technology categories only (no file contents, paths, or secrets):
193
+
194
+ - **Stack Profile** (`.gyre/stack-profile.yaml`) — classified tech stack with detection confidence
195
+ - **Capabilities Manifest** (`.gyre/capabilities.yaml`) — 20+ capabilities across observability, deployment, reliability, and security
196
+ - **Findings Report** (`.gyre/findings.yaml`) — absence-based findings tagged by severity, confidence, and source
197
+ - **Feedback Log** (`.gyre/feedback.yaml`) — team amendments that persist and improve the model over time
198
+
199
+ **Three modes:** *Crisis* (first run, full pipeline), *Anticipation* (re-analysis with cached model), *Regeneration* (fresh model rebuild).
200
+
201
+ **Delta tracking:** Run Gyre after making improvements to see what you've resolved — findings are tagged [NEW], [CARRIED], or resolved.

+ ## Extending Convoke
208
+
209
+ ### Team Factory
210
+
211
+ Create fully-wired, BMAD-compliant teams through a guided workflow — zero post-creation fixes.
212
+
213
+ ```
214
+ /bmad-team-factory
215
+ ```
216
+
217
+ The factory guides you through composition pattern selection (Independent or Sequential), agent scope definition with overlap detection, contract design, and integration wiring. Decision state is persisted as a spec file for resume and express mode. Output passes the same validation as native teams.
218
+
219
+ Three capabilities:
220
+ - **Create Team** — build a new team from scratch with full integration
221
+ - **Add Agent** — extend an existing team with a new agent
222
+ - **Add Skill** — give an existing agent a new workflow
223
+
224
+ ### Enhance — Agent Skills
225
+
226
+ Skills give existing agents new workflows — installed via menu patching, not agent modification. The first skill adds RICE-scored backlog management to the PM agent:

- ### Using the Agents
234
-
235
- Each agent can be used independently or as part of the full Vortex flow:
236
-
237
- 1. **Emma (Contextualize)** — Start here when defining a new product or problem space
238
- 2. **Isla (Empathize)** — Start here when you need to understand users better
239
- 3. **Mila (Synthesize)** — Start here when you have research to converge into a problem definition
240
- 4. **Liam (Hypothesize)** — Start here when you have a problem definition and need testable hypotheses
241
- 5. **Wade (Externalize)** — Start here when you have hypotheses ready to test
242
- 6. **Noah (Sensitize)** — Start here when experiments have graduated to production
243
- 7. **Max (Systematize)** — Start here when you have results and need to decide next steps
244
-
245
- Max's **Vortex Navigation** workflow helps identify which stream needs attention based on evidence gaps — you don't have to follow a linear path. Every workflow ends with a **Vortex Compass** that routes you to the right next agent based on what you learned. Ten handoff contracts (HC1-HC10) ensure structured information flows between agents — see the [contracts directory](_bmad/bme/_vortex/contracts/) for details.

  ### Your Artifacts Survive Updates

- All user-generated content in `_bmad-output/` (planning artifacts, implementation artifacts, vortex artifacts) works with updated agents **without regeneration**. When you update from v1.5.x to v1.6.x, your existing artifacts remain valid inputs to both original and new agents.

169
+ - **Vortex artifacts** in `_bmad-output/vortex-artifacts/` — personas, hypotheses, learning cards, etc.
170
+ - **Gyre artifacts** in `.gyre/` — stack profiles, capabilities manifests, findings reports, feedback logs
135

136
- Artifacts created with earlier agents (Emma, Isla, Wade, Max) were not designed specifically for the newer agents (Mila, Liam, Noah), but the handoff contracts are backward-compatible by design. A product vision created with v1.5.x works as input to Mila after updating to v1.6.x — the required fields are present.
172
+ Handoff contracts (HC1-HC5 for Vortex, GC1-GC4 for Gyre) are backward-compatible by design. Artifacts created with older agent versions remain valid inputs after updating.

- - **Artifact content** — Everything in `_bmad-output/` (planning artifacts, implementation artifacts, vortex artifacts)
