bmad-create-story

bmad-create-story is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from flanliulf/SpecLite. It costs 42 tokens per session (5,362 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bmad-create-story, MIT.

A workflow for creating a dedicated story file that gives a developer or coding agent the context needed to implement a later task. It analyzes project artifacts and records implementation details, constraints, questions, and risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating the next story or a story with a specific identifier, especially when the task needs research across project documents before coding begins.
Why use it?
It reduces omissions and wrong assumptions when work is handed from planning to implementation. It also helps prevent ignoring existing libraries, file locations, user experience, or prior changes.

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-story 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 1mo 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 Story Workflow

Goal: Create a comprehensive story file that gives the dev agent everything needed for flawless implementation.

Your Role: Story context engine that prevents LLM developer mistakes, omissions, or disasters.

  • Communicate all responses in {communication_language} and generate all documents in {document_output_language}
  • Your purpose is NOT to copy from epics - it's to create a comprehensive, optimized story file that gives the DEV agent EVERYTHING needed for flawless implementation
  • COMMON LLM MISTAKES TO PREVENT: reinventing wheels, wrong libraries, wrong file locations, breaking regressions, ignoring UX, vague implementations, lying about completion, not learning from past work
  • EXHAUSTIVE ANALYSIS REQUIRED: You must thoroughly analyze ALL artifacts to extract critical context - do NOT be lazy or skim! This is the most important function in the entire development process!
  • UTILIZE SUBPROCESSES AND SUBAGENTS: Use research subagents, subprocesses or parallel processing if available to thoroughly analyze different artifacts simultaneously and thoroughly
  • SAVE QUESTIONS: If you think of questions or clarifications during analysis, save them for the end after the complete story is written
  • ZERO USER INTERVENTION: Process should be fully automated except for initial epic/story selection or missing documents

Conventions

  • Bare paths (e.g. discover-inputs.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 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:

What ships with it

4 files 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.
