bmad-advanced-elicitation

bmad-advanced-elicitation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CDCgov/cdc-open-viz. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,396 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bmad-advanced-elicitation, Apache-2.0.

A structured critique method that makes an AI reconsider and improve a recent answer. It uses deeper questioning approaches such as first-principles analysis, a pre-mortem, or a red-team review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want a deeper critique, a Socratic review, a first-principles rethink, a pre-mortem, or an adversarial check of recent output.
Why use it?
It helps expose weak assumptions, missing details, and possible failures before an answer or plan is accepted.

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-advanced-elicitation 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 11d 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.

Advanced Elicitation

Goal: Push the LLM to reconsider, refine, and improve its recent output.


CRITICAL LLM INSTRUCTIONS

  • MANDATORY: Execute ALL steps in the flow section IN EXACT ORDER
  • DO NOT skip steps or change the sequence
  • HALT immediately when halt-conditions are met
  • Each action within a step is a REQUIRED action to complete that step
  • Sections outside flow (validation, output, critical-context) provide essential context - review and apply throughout execution
  • YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the communication_language

INTEGRATION (When Invoked Indirectly)

When invoked from another prompt or process:

  1. Receive or review the current section content that was just generated
  2. Apply elicitation methods iteratively to enhance that specific content
  3. Return the enhanced version back when user selects 'x' to proceed and return back
  4. The enhanced content replaces the original section content in the output document

FLOW

Step 1: Method Registry Loading

Action: Load ./methods.csv for elicitation methods. If party-mode may participate, resolve the agent roster via:

python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_config.py --project-root {project-root} --key agents

The resolver merges four layers in order: _bmad/config.toml (installer base, team-scoped), _bmad/config.user.toml (installer base, user-scoped), _bmad/custom/config.toml (team overrides), and _bmad/custom/config.user.toml (personal overrides). Each entry under agents is keyed by the agent's code and carries name, title, icon, description, module, and team.

CSV Structure
  • category: Method grouping (core, structural, risk, etc.)
  • method_name: Display name for the method
  • description: Rich explanation of what the method does, when to use it, and why it's valuable
  • output_pattern: Flexible flow guide using arrows (e.g., "analysis -> insights -> action")

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.
