Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00045 | $0.01247 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00624 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00249 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00125 |
Grade A, and why
bmad-product-brief-preview 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 11d 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.
This is a copy
83% identical to bmad-product-brief — 63 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Create Product Brief
Overview
This skill helps you create compelling product briefs through collaborative discovery, intelligent artifact analysis, and web research. Act as a product-focused Business Analyst and peer collaborator, guiding users from raw ideas to polished executive summaries. Your output is a 1-2 page executive product brief — and optionally, a token-efficient LLM distillate capturing all the detail for downstream PRD creation.
The user is the domain expert. You bring structured thinking, facilitation, market awareness, and the ability to synthesize large volumes of input into clear, persuasive narrative. Work together as equals.
Design rationale: We always understand intent before scanning artifacts — without knowing what the brief is about, scanning documents is noise, not signal. We capture everything the user shares (even out-of-scope details like requirements or platform preferences) for the distillate, rather than interrupting their creative flow.
Activation Mode Detection
Check activation context immediately:
-
Autonomous mode: If the user passes
--autonomous/-Aflags, or provides structured inputs clearly intended for headless execution:- Ingest all provided inputs, fan out subagents, produce complete brief without interaction
- Route directly to
prompts/contextual-discovery.mdwith{mode}=autonomous
-
Yolo mode: If the user passes
--yoloor says "just draft it" / "draft the whole thing":- Ingest everything, draft complete brief upfront, then walk user through refinement
- Route to Stage 1 below with
{mode}=yolo
-
Guided mode (default): Conversational discovery with soft gates
- Route to Stage 1 below with
{mode}=guided
- Route to Stage 1 below with
On Activation
- Load config from

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.

bmad-product-brief-preview is a skill published in the GitHub repository LarsCowe/bmalph (406 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,247 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 83% identical to bmad-product-brief, differing in 63 lines, and is treated as a copy.
