bmad-spec

bmad-spec is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bsahane/memory-mcp-server. It costs 63 tokens per session (3,867 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bmad-spec, Apache-2.0.

A specification workflow that turns ideas, requirements, documents, conversations, or mockups into a structured project contract. The contract records the purpose, capabilities, constraints, exclusions, and signs of success.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, update, or validate a specification, or break requirements into development stories.
Why use it?
It turns scattered or vague intent into a shared reference that later development work can follow and check.

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-spec 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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to bmad-spec — 21 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

BMad Spec

Overview

Canonical transformer for the BMad spec-kernel ecosystem. Takes any intent input — vague idea, brain dump, PRD, GDD, RFC, brief, Slack thread, customer email, meeting transcript, mockups, mixed multi-source — and produces SPEC.md carrying the five-field kernel (Why, Capabilities, Constraints, Non-goals, Success signal) plus companion files for load-bearing content that does not fit or would bloat the kernel with expansive line-item detail. Together they are the machine contract every downstream BMad skill consumes.

Multiple skills may call to update the same spec over time.

Conventions

  • Bare paths (e.g. assets/spec-template.md) resolve from the skill root.
  • {skill-root} is this skill's install dir; {project-root} is the working dir.
  • {workflow.<name>} resolves to fields in customize.toml.

On Activation

  1. Resolve customization: uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow. On failure, read {skill-root}/customize.toml directly.
  2. Run {workflow.activation_steps_prepend}. Treat {workflow.persistent_facts} as foundational context (file: entries are loaded).
  3. Resolve config: uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_config.py --project-root {project-root} (merges _bmad/config.toml, _bmad/config.user.toml, and the _bmad/custom/ overrides). From the merged JSON resolve {user_name}, {communication_language}, {document_output_language}, {project_name}, {output_folder} (under core), and {date}.
  4. Detect mode. Headless when any of: no TTY, programmatic caller (another skill or non-interactive runner), or the first message pre-supplies all inputs and asks for an artifact path back. Interactive otherwise. In interactive mode, greet by {user_name} in {communication_language}, stay in that language, and mention that bmad-party-mode and bmad-advanced-elicitation are available for deeper exploration on any field.

Run {workflow.activation_steps_append}.

What ships with it

4 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.
