bmad-advanced-elicitation

bmad-advanced-elicitation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from flanliulf/SpecLite. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,396 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bmad-advanced-elicitation, MIT.

A structured method for making an AI assistant reconsider, critique, and improve a recent answer. It can use approaches such as questioning assumptions, starting from basic principles, planning for failure, or testing an idea like an adversary.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review and refine generated text, plans, or decisions when you want deeper criticism or a named critique method.
Why use it?
It helps uncover weak reasoning, missed risks, and unclear writing before the answer is used.

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 10d 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 — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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")

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.
