bmad-technical-research

bmad-technical-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bsahane/memory-mcp-server. It costs 21 tokens per session (432 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bmad-technical-research, Apache-2.0.

A discontinued technical-research command that now forwards to bmad-deep-recon, the workflow for preparing and processing technical research.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for compatibility with existing technical-research invocations; new technical research should use bmad-deep-recon.
Why use it?
It keeps older commands and customization files working while routing research requests to the newer consolidated workflow.

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-technical-research 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 6d 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.

What it actually says

DEPRECATED — forwards to bmad-deep-recon (technical type)

This skill was consolidated into bmad-deep-recon. It is retained as a thin compatibility shim so existing invocations by name and _bmad/custom/bmad-technical-research.toml override files keep working. New work should invoke bmad-deep-recon directly — it drafts deep-research prompts for outside tools, processes finished reports into downstream-ready summaries, and runs research directly, across market, domain, technical, competitive, user-voice, and academic-lit types (plus a select shape for choose-between decisions and custom types).

On Activation

  1. Resolve customization: uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow. This picks up any {project-root}/_bmad/custom/bmad-technical-research.toml and bmad-technical-research.user.toml overrides for the legacy fields (activation_steps_prepend, activation_steps_append, persistent_facts, on_complete).
  2. Emit a deprecation notice to the user (in their configured communication language): bmad-technical-research is deprecated and forwards to bmad-deep-recon with the technical type. To silence this notice and access the full new surface (draft/process/run modes, research types, verification levels, HTML briefing, handoffs), migrate _bmad/custom/bmad-technical-research.toml to _bmad/custom/bmad-deep-recon.toml and invoke bmad-deep-recon directly.
  3. Invoke bmad-deep-recon with: research type technical (skip its type inference), the four legacy fields above as pre-resolved values, and the user's original input verbatim. bmad-deep-recon takes the workflow from here — do not execute any further steps in this shim.
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.
