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-help 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 6d 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 — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

BMad Help

Purpose

Help the user understand where they are in their BMad workflow and what to do next, and also answer broader questions when asked that could be augmented with remote sources such as module documentation sources.

Desired Outcomes

When this skill completes, the user should:

  1. Know where they are — which module and phase they're in, what's already been completed
  2. Know what to do next — the next recommended and/or required step, with clear reasoning
  3. Know how to invoke it — skill name, menu code, action context, and any args that shortcut the conversation
  4. Get offered a quick start — when a single skill is the clear next step, offer to run it for the user right now rather than just listing it
  5. Feel oriented, not overwhelmed — surface only what's relevant to their current position; don't dump the entire catalog
  6. Get answers to general questions — when the question doesn't map to a specific skill, use the module's registered documentation to give a grounded answer

Data Sources

  • Catalog: {project-root}/_bmad/_config/bmad-help.csv — assembled manifest of all installed module skills
  • Config: config.yaml and user-config.yaml files in {project-root}/_bmad/ and its subfolders — resolve output-location variables, provide communication_language and project_knowledge
  • Artifacts: Files matching outputs patterns at resolved output-location paths reveal which steps are possibly completed; their content may also provide grounding context for recommendations
  • Project knowledge: If project_knowledge resolves to an existing path, read it for grounding context. Never fabricate project-specific details.
  • Module docs: Rows with _meta in the skill column carry a URL or path in output-location pointing to the module's documentation (e.g., llms.txt). Fetch and use these to answer general questions about that module.

CSV Interpretation

The catalog uses this format:

module,skill,display-name,menu-code,description,action,args,phase,after,before,required,output-location,outputs

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.
