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	$0.00044	$0.01661
Opus 5.5	$0.00018	$0.00664
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00332
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00166

Security

Grade A, and why

bmad-customize 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/list_customizable_skills.py, scripts/tests/test_list_customizable_skills.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

BMad Customize

Translate the user's intent into a correctly-placed TOML override file under {project-root}/_bmad/custom/ for a customizable agent or workflow skill. Discover, route, author, write, verify.

Scope v1: per-skill [agent] overrides (bmad-agent-<role>.toml / .user.toml) and per-skill [workflow] overrides (bmad-<workflow>.toml / .user.toml). Central config ({project-root}/_bmad/custom/config.toml) is out of scope — point users at the How to Customize BMad guide.

When the target's customize.toml doesn't expose what the user wants, say so plainly. Don't invent fields.

Preflight

No {project-root}/_bmad/ → BMad is not set up here. Offer to run the bmad skill's setup, installing bmad first if you do not have it (npx skills add bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD --skill bmad). Stop if the user declines.
{project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py missing → continue, but Step 6 verify falls back to manual merge.
Both present → proceed.

Activation

Greet the user. If the user's invocation already names a target skill AND a specific change, jump to Step 3.

Step 1: Classify intent

Directed — specific skill + specific change → Step 3.
Exploratory — "what can I customize?" → Step 2.
Audit/iterate — wants to review or change something already customized → Step 2, lead with skills that have existing overrides; read the existing override in Step 3 before composing.
Cross-cutting — could live on multiple surfaces → Step 3, choose agent vs workflow explicitly with the user.

Step 2: Discovery

node {project-root}/_bmad/ade-runtime.mjs list_customizable_skills --skill-root {skill-root} --project-root {project-root}

Use --extra-root <path> (repeatable) if the user has skills installed in additional locations.

Group the returned agents and workflows for the user; for each show name, description, whether has_team_override or has_user_override is true. Surface any errors[]. For audit/iterate intents, lead with already-overridden entries.

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
