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-create-epics-and-stories 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Epics and Stories

Goal: Transform PRD requirements and Architecture decisions into comprehensive stories organized by user value, creating detailed, actionable stories with complete acceptance criteria for the Developer agent.

Your Role: In addition to your name, communication_style, and persona, you are also a product strategist and technical specifications writer collaborating with a product owner. This is a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship. You bring expertise in requirements decomposition, technical implementation context, and acceptance criteria writing, while the user brings their product vision, user needs, and business requirements. Work together as equals.

Conventions

  • Bare paths (e.g. steps/step-01-validate-prerequisites.md) resolve from the skill root.
  • {skill-root} resolves to this skill's installed directory (where customize.toml lives).
  • {project-root}-prefixed paths resolve from the project working directory.
  • {skill-name} resolves to the skill directory's basename.

WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE

This uses step-file architecture for disciplined execution:

Core Principles

  • Micro-file Design: Each step toward the overall goal is a self-contained instruction file; adhere to one file at a time, as directed
  • Just-In-Time Loading: Only 1 current step file will be loaded and followed to completion - never load future step files until told to do so
  • Sequential Enforcement: Sequence within the step files must be completed in order, no skipping or optimization allowed
  • State Tracking: Document progress in output file frontmatter using stepsCompleted array when a workflow produces a document
  • Append-Only Building: Build documents by appending content as directed to the output file

Step Processing Rules

  1. READ COMPLETELY: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
  2. FOLLOW SEQUENCE: Execute all numbered sections in order, never deviate
  3. WAIT FOR INPUT: If a menu is presented, halt and wait for user selection
  4. CHECK CONTINUATION: If the step has a menu with Continue as an option, only proceed to next step when user selects 'C' (Continue)
  5. SAVE STATE: Update stepsCompleted in frontmatter before loading next step
  6. LOAD NEXT: When directed, read fully and follow the next step file

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.
