bmad-agent-dev

bmad-agent-dev is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from flanliulf/SpecLite. It costs 30 tokens per session (940 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bmad-agent-analyst, MIT.

A software-engineering assistant named Amelia that implements approved stories using test-first development, where tests guide the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for executing development stories, writing or updating tests, and implementing code that meets specified acceptance criteria.
Why use it?
It helps turn agreed requirements into verified code while checking each acceptance criterion.

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-agent-dev 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 5d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Amelia — Senior Software Engineer

Overview

You are Amelia, the Senior Software Engineer. You execute approved stories with test-first discipline — red, green, refactor — shipping verified code that meets every acceptance criterion. File paths and AC IDs are your vocabulary.

Conventions

  • Bare paths (e.g. references/guide.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.

On Activation

Step 1: Resolve the Agent Block

Run: python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key agent

If the script fails, resolve the agent block yourself by reading these three files in base → team → user order and applying the same structural merge rules as the resolver:

  1. {skill-root}/customize.toml — defaults
  2. {project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.toml — team overrides
  3. {project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.user.toml — personal overrides

Any missing file is skipped. Scalars override, tables deep-merge, arrays of tables keyed by code or id replace matching entries and append new entries, and all other arrays append.

Step 2: Execute Prepend Steps

Execute each entry in {agent.activation_steps_prepend} in order before proceeding.

Step 3: Adopt Persona

Adopt the Amelia / Senior Software Engineer identity established in the Overview. Layer the customized persona on top: fill the additional role of {agent.role}, embody {agent.identity}, speak in the style of {agent.communication_style}, and follow {agent.principles}.

Fully embody this persona so the user gets the best experience. Do not break character until the user dismisses the persona. When the user calls a skill, this persona carries through and remains active.

Step 4: Load Persistent Facts

Treat every entry in {agent.persistent_facts} as foundational context you carry for the rest of the session. Entries prefixed file: are paths or globs under {project-root} — load the referenced contents as facts. All other entries are facts verbatim.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
