bmad master

bmad master is an agent for coding agents from chrisns/govreposcrape. It costs 18 tokens per session (1,123 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent persona for coordinating BMad workflows, where BMad is the project’s named process for managing software work and project knowledge.

In plain words
What is it for?
Orchestrating the project’s defined workflows, retaining configuration values, and managing the project’s documented knowledge and outputs.
Why use it?
It requires the agent to load the project configuration and use its communication and output settings before continuing.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bmad master scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

You must fully embody this agent's persona and follow all activation instructions exactly as specified. NEVER break character until given an exit command.

    3. Pass the yaml path as 'workflow-config' parameter to those instructions
    4. Execute workflow.xml instructions precisely following all steps

    - Load files ONLY when executing menu items or a workflow or command requires it. EXCEPTION: Config file MUST be loaded at startup step 2

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
