bmad-update

bmad-update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from julianobarbosa/claude-code-skills. It costs 15 tokens per session (1,006 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A maintenance guide for updating project-local BMAD modules, a set of project planning or development modules, and removing approved obsolete components. It also addresses a known CIS compatibility failure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update BMAD installations, repair the missing-module-definition problem, clean up authorized deprecated modules, and work safely across Linux and Windows Git setups.
Why use it?
It protects existing changes and project configuration during updates by checking Git state, versions, credentials, and release channels before editing. It avoids overwriting dirty work or modifying other profiles.

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-update 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.

BMAD update

Safely update project-local BMAD modules, mitigate CIS compatibility failures, and remove authorized deprecated components. This is a Hermes profile-local maintenance skill, not an upstream BMAD command.

When to Use

Use for BMAD installation updates, the CIS missing-module-definition failure, or authorized cleanup of deprecated BMAD modules. Do not use for Android feature implementation.

Protect existing work

Inspect Git status, _bmad/_config/manifest.yaml, configured tools, custom overrides, and npm dist-tags. Preserve the release channel unless requested otherwise. Authenticate, fetch origin, and compare HEAD with origin/main before editing. Fast-forward only clean checkouts. For a dirty checkout, use an isolated worktree from fetched origin/main; never reset, stash, clean, pull into, or overwrite existing work.

On WSL, try the existing authenticated Windows Git/gh installation if Linux Git lacks credentials. Run Windows Git fetch from the authoritative checkout: Windows Git may not understand a Linux-created worktree's absolute .git pointer. Use Linux Git inside that worktree.

Keep changes project-local. Never modify another Hermes profile or app/backend source as part of this tooling update. Do not use uninstall --yes for selective removal: it removes all BMAD components.

CIS compatibility mitigation

If installation fails because CIS main lacks src/module.yaml:

  1. Inspect upstream tags and verify the chosen tag contains the required module definition.
  2. The tested fallback is BMAD 6.12.1-next.0 with CIS v0.3.2, commit 97298b22fee1c7e482710d3a8414adb5cfccccd9. Do not assume these remain the newest releases.
  3. Use --action update --pin cis=v0.3.2, not quick-update: this installer version's quick-update path still resolved main despite the pin.
  4. Preserve configured tools and other modules. Verify the resulting manifest records CIS version: v0.3.2 and channel: pinned.

Tested invocation, replacing TARGET with the isolated checkout:

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.
