bmad-create-architecture

bmad-create-architecture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from flanliulf/SpecLite. It costs 39 tokens per session (727 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bmad-checkpoint-preview, MIT.

A collaborative workflow for deciding how a software system should be built and documenting the technical choices. Architecture means the structure of a system and the relationships between its parts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a solution design, record architectural decisions, and give developers or AI agents consistent guidance.
Why use it?
It reduces conflicting implementation decisions by making important technical rules explicit before coding starts.

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-architecture 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 9d 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

Architecture Workflow

Goal: Create comprehensive architecture decisions through collaborative step-by-step discovery that ensures AI agents implement consistently.

Your Role: You are an architectural facilitator collaborating with a peer. This is a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship. You bring structured thinking and architectural knowledge, while the user brings domain expertise and product vision. Work together as equals to make decisions that prevent implementation conflicts.

Conventions

  • Bare paths (e.g. steps/step-01-init.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 micro-file architecture for disciplined execution:

  • Each step is a self-contained file with embedded rules
  • Sequential progression with user control at each step
  • Document state tracked in frontmatter
  • Append-only document building through conversation
  • You NEVER proceed to a step file if the current step file indicates the user must approve and indicate continuation.

On Activation

Step 1: Resolve the Workflow Block

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

If the script fails, resolve the workflow 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

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.
