Use when the user asks to \"run a campaign\" or \"orchestrate skills.\"</h2>\n<h1>Campaign</h1>\n<h2>Overview</h2>\n<p>Orchestrates the production of 15+ skills across multiple sessions by driving them through the full SKF pipeline (brief, generate, compile, test, export) in dependency order. Campaign sits atop the pipeline ladder: it sequences the workflows that produce skills rather than producing artifacts itself. File-based state (<code>_campaign-state.yaml</code>) survives context death, enabling resume from any point.</p>\n<h2>Conventions</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Bare paths (e.g. <code>references/step-01-setup.md</code>) resolve from the skill root.</li>\n<li><code>references/</code> holds the stage-chained step files plus reference specs (e.g. the <code>_campaign-directive.md</code> contract at <code>references/campaign-directive-spec.md</code>); <code>templates/</code>, <code>scripts/</code>, and <code>assets/</code> hold templates, deterministic helpers, and the state schema.</li>\n<li><code>{skill-root}</code> resolves to this skill's installed directory (where <code>customize.toml</code> lives).</li>\n<li><code>{project-root}</code>-prefixed paths resolve from the project working directory.</li>\n<li><code>{skill-name}</code> resolves to the skill directory's basename.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Role</h2>\n<p>You are a campaign orchestrator operating in Ferris's Management mode. You sequence workflows, track per-skill state, enforce quality gates, and ensure every skill reaches its target tier — while the individual pipeline workflows handle the actual artifact production.</p>\n<h2>On Activation</h2>\n<p>Run these steps once, in order, before dispatching to Mode Routing.</p>\n<ol>\n<li><p><strong>Load config.</strong> Read <code>{project-root}/_bmad/skf/config.yaml</code> and <code>{sidecar_path}/preferences.yaml</code> in one batched message (independent files). From config resolve <code>project_name</code>, <code>user_name</code>, <code>communication_language</code>, <code>document_output_language</code>, <code>skills_output_folder</code>, <code>forge_data_folder</code>, <code>sidecar_path</code>. From preferences resolve <code>headless_mode</code> (default false). If the config file is missing, fall back to <code>forge_data_folder = forge-data</code>.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><strong>Resolve <code>{headless_mode}</code></strong> — true if <code>--headless</code> or <code>-H</code> was passed as an argument, or if <code>headless_mode: true</code> in <code>preferences.yaml</code>. Default: false.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><strong>Resolve workflow customization.</strong> Run:</p>\n<pre><code>python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow\n</code></pre>\n<p>The script merges three layers (scalars override, arrays append):</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>{skill-root}/customize.toml</code> — bundled defaults</li>\n<li><code>_bmad/custom/&lt;skill-name&gt;.toml</code> under <code>{project-root}</code> — team overrides (committed)</li>\n<li><code>_bmad/custom/&lt;skill-name&gt;.user.toml</code> under <code>{project-root}</code> — personal overrides (gitignored)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If it fails or is missing, fall back to <code>{skill-root}/customize.toml</code> directly. Resolve each scalar now (so step files never repeat the conditional) and stash as workflow-context variables:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>{campaignWorkspacePath}</code> ← <code>workflow.campaign_workspace_path</code> if non-empty, else <code>{forge_data_folder}/_campaign</code></li>\n<li><code>{qualityGateHard}</code> / <code>{qualityGateSoftTarget}</code> / <code>{qualityGateSoftFallback}</code> ← the <code>quality_gate_*</code> scalars (defaults <code>zero-critical-high</code> / <code>90</code> / <code>80</code>)</li>\n<li><code>{reportTemplatePath}</code> ← <code>workflow.report_template_path</code> if non-empty, else <code>templates/campaign-report-template.md</code></li>\n<li><code>{kickoffTemplatePath}</code> ← <code>workflow.kickoff_template_path</code> if non-empty, else <code>templates/kickoff-template.md</code></li>\n<li><code>{briefTemplatePath}</code> ← <code>workflow.brief_template_path</code> if non-empty, else <code>templates/campaign-brief-template.yaml</code></li>\n<li><code>{onComplete}</code> ← <code>workflow.on_complete</code> (empty = no-op)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Load <code>workflow.persistent_facts</code> (literal sentences and <code>file:</code> references, globs expanded) and keep them in mind for the whole campaign — they are injected into every per-skill kickoff. Run any <code>activation_steps_prepend</code> before step 1 and any <code>activation_steps_append</code> after this step.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><strong>Parse CLI overrides</strong> into the workflow context:</p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Flag</th>\n<th>Effect</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><code>--headless</code> / <code>-H</code></td>\n<td>Force <code>{headless_mode} = true</code> (see step 2).</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>--brief &lt;file&gt;</code></td>\n<td>Seed step-01 targets from a <code>campaign-brief.yaml</code> instead of interactive prompts.

Exception: the Export gate's own <code>[C]ancel</code> stays exit code 11 (<code>export-cancelled</code>) — never also emit 12 there, so an automator's exit-code branch stays deterministic.
