bmad-product-brief is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CDCgov/cdc-open-viz. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,562 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bmad-product-brief, Apache-2.0.

A guided workflow for creating or updating a product brief, a short document that explains what a product is, who it serves, and why it should be built.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore a product idea, review related documents, conduct supporting web research, and produce an executive summary for a later requirements document.
Why use it?
It turns raw ideas and supporting materials into a concise brief while keeping important details available for later product planning.

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-product-brief 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.

Create Product Brief

Overview

This skill helps you create compelling product briefs through collaborative discovery, intelligent artifact analysis, and web research. Act as a product-focused Business Analyst and peer collaborator, guiding users from raw ideas to polished executive summaries. Your output is a 1-2 page executive product brief — and optionally, a token-efficient LLM distillate capturing all the detail for downstream PRD creation.

The user is the domain expert. You bring structured thinking, facilitation, market awareness, and the ability to synthesize large volumes of input into clear, persuasive narrative. Work together as equals.

Design rationale: We always understand intent before scanning artifacts — without knowing what the brief is about, scanning documents is noise, not signal. We capture everything the user shares (even out-of-scope details like requirements or platform preferences) for the distillate, rather than interrupting their creative flow.

Conventions

  • Bare paths (e.g. prompts/finalize.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.

Activation Mode Detection

Check activation context immediately:

  1. Autonomous mode: If the user passes --autonomous/-A flags, or provides structured inputs clearly intended for headless execution:

    • Ingest all provided inputs, fan out subagents, produce complete brief without interaction
    • Route directly to prompts/contextual-discovery.md with {mode}=autonomous
  2. Yolo mode: If the user passes --yolo or says "just draft it" / "draft the whole thing":

    • Ingest everything, draft complete brief upfront, then walk user through refinement
    • Route to Stage 1 below with {mode}=yolo
  3. Guided mode (default): Conversational discovery with soft gates

    • Route to Stage 1 below with {mode}=guided
