What is bmad-create-architecture?

A deprecated compatibility entry that forwards requests to the newer bmad-architecture skill with create intent. Deprecated means it remains for older setups but is planned for removal.

Use it only when an older workflow still invokes bmad-create-architecture to create an architecture plan.

It keeps existing commands and customization files working while projects move to the newer skill. New work should use bmad-architecture directly.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00035	$0.00704
Opus 5	$0.00017	$0.00352
Sonnet 5	$0.00007	$0.00141
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00070

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 8d 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.

DEPRECATED — forwards to bmad-architecture (create intent)

This skill was consolidated into bmad-architecture. It is retained as a thin compatibility shim so existing invocations by name and _bmad/custom/bmad-create-architecture.toml override files keep working. New work should invoke bmad-architecture directly — it detects create / update / validate intent from the conversation.

On Activation

Resolve customization: python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow. This picks up any {project-root}/_bmad/custom/bmad-create-architecture.toml and bmad-create-architecture.user.toml overrides for the legacy fields (activation_steps_prepend, activation_steps_append, persistent_facts, on_complete).
Load {project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml (and config.user.yaml if present) to resolve {user_name} and {communication_language}.
Emit a deprecation notice to the user in {communication_language}:

Notice: bmad-create-architecture is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. It now forwards to bmad-architecture with create intent. To silence this notice and access the full new customization surface (spine_template, spine_output_path, run_folder_pattern, doc_standards, external_sources, external_handoffs, finalize_reviewers), migrate _bmad/custom/bmad-create-architecture.toml to _bmad/custom/bmad-architecture.toml and invoke bmad-architecture directly next time. Customization fields that were in this version still remain in the new version and will be respected if present in _bmad/custom/bmad-architecture.toml, but the new version also supports additional fields that you can take advantage of by migrating.
Invoke bmad-architecture with the following context. Pass these as the activating context so bmad-architecture honors them instead of resolving its own customization from scratch:
- Intent: create — skip bmad-architecture's usual intent detection step.
- Pre-resolved legacy customization — use these in place of resolving from bmad-architecture's own customize.toml for the four legacy fields. For everything else (spine_template, spine_output_path, run_folder_pattern, doc_standards, external_sources, external_handoffs, finalize_reviewers), use bmad-architecture's own defaults and overrides as normal:
  - activation_steps_prepend = the resolved value from step 1
  - activation_steps_append = the resolved value from step 1
  - persistent_facts = the resolved value from step 1
  - on_complete = the resolved value from step 1
- Original user input: forward whatever the user said when invoking this skill verbatim.

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.
