What is kb-mode-interaction?

A command that provides a guided way to explore the BMad knowledge base, a collection of information about the BMad development method. It presents topic areas and then answers a focused question.

Use it to learn about BMad setup, workflows, agents, documents, Agile practices, configuration, or other related topics.

It prevents users from being overwhelmed by a large body of documentation. It gives them a simple starting point for finding relevant guidance.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00613
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00245
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00123
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00061

Security

Grade A, and why

kb-mode-interaction 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 9d 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.

/kb-mode-interaction Task

When this command is used, execute the following task:

KB Mode Interaction Task

Purpose

Provide a user-friendly interface to the BMad knowledge base without overwhelming users with information upfront.

Instructions

When entering KB mode (*kb-mode), follow these steps:

1. Welcome and Guide

Announce entering KB mode with a brief, friendly introduction.

2. Present Topic Areas

Offer a concise list of main topic areas the user might want to explore:

What would you like to know more about?

Setup & Installation - Getting started with BMad
Workflows - Choosing the right workflow for your project
Web vs IDE - When to use each environment
Agents - Understanding specialized agents and their roles
Documents - PRDs, Architecture, Stories, and more
Agile Process - How BMad implements Agile methodologies
Configuration - Customizing BMad for your needs
Best Practices - Tips for effective BMad usage

Or ask me about anything else related to BMad-Method!

3. Respond Contextually

Wait for user's specific question or topic selection
Provide focused, relevant information from the knowledge base
Offer to dive deeper or explore related topics
Keep responses concise unless user asks for detailed explanations

4. Interactive Exploration

After answering, suggest related topics they might find helpful
Maintain conversational flow rather than data dumping
Use examples when appropriate
Reference specific documentation sections when relevant

5. Exit Gracefully

When user is done or wants to exit KB mode:

Summarize key points discussed if helpful
Remind them they can return to KB mode anytime with *kb-mode
Suggest next steps based on what was discussed

Example Interaction

User: *kb-mode

Assistant: I've entered KB mode and have access to the full BMad knowledge base. I can help you with detailed information about any aspect of BMad-Method.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
