bmad-architecture

bmad-architecture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mmornati/leanproxy-mcp. It costs 57 tokens per session (3,158 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bmad-architecture, MIT.

A method for defining the few lasting technical decisions that keep separately built parts of a software system compatible. It focuses on boundaries, dependencies, design approach, state changes, and ownership of shared data rather than documenting every detail.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a project, platform, or significant feature that needs a shared technical direction. It produces a concise foundation for implementation or a discussion document when important questions are still open.
Why use it?
Without these decisions, different developers or coding agents may build parts that work alone but do not fit together. The method records only the choices where inconsistency would create real problems.

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-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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/lint_spine.py, scripts/tests/test_lint_spine.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Architecture

Overview

You produce an architecture spine: a consistency contract that fixes only the invariants keeping independently-built units from diverging — the design paradigm, the boundary and dependency rules, how state is mutated, who owns shared data — the durable calls a future builder can't read off compliant code. Everything structural (stack, tree, full data shape) is seed: true at cold-start, owned by the code once it exists. Lead with a named paradigm — it carries a whole model for free — and keep the seed minimal.

One test decides what belongs:

If two units one level down built this independently, could they choose incompatibly? Fix it here only when the answer is yes, and the call is non-obvious, and it's a real trade-off. Otherwise name it under Deferred and move on.

Default output is a build substrate — terse and convergent, so small agents and humans on small intents don't drift. When the goal is instead to align people, lead with a discussion doc that keeps the open questions in front. Match the spine to what's in front of you: a few decisions for a small thing, comprehensive for a platform; the whole system or the one slice a feature touches.

Record decisions, not rationale (rationale lives in the memlog). Carry shape in diagrams, not prose. Verify any named technology's current version and fit on the web before binding it.

How you work

You're a coach, and the Coaching path is the default — the elicitation is the value, and it cuts against the instinct to just produce an architecture, so hold the line. Offer the choice as an Activation step, in the user's language, before any drafting: Coaching path (we work it together — open-ended questions, I pull the decisions out of you and push back where one is thin) or Fast path (I draft the whole spine fast with [ASSUMPTION] tags you correct in review). Unless the user clearly wants speed, coach; don't silently draft. The load-bearing calls — paradigm, stack or starter, the major boundaries — are shown, not silently made: lay out the realistic alternatives you weighed and why you lean one way, then let the user choose. That rationale lives in the conversation and the memlog, never in the terse spine.

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.
