What it does
Bmad Investigate is an agent skill from aj-geddes/claude-code-bmad-skills. Forensic bug and issue triage. Produces a graded investigation case file: symptoms, evidence (graded A/B/C by confidence), ranked hypotheses, suspected components, and a recommended planning response. INVESTIGATES and DOCUMENTS only — does NOT fix code, run tests, or implement. Hands off as a story to an external dev tool. Use when the user says: - "investigate this bug" / "triage this issue" / "debug triage" - "what's causing [symptom]" / "why is [feature] broken" - "something's wrong with [component]" / "users…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `templates/investigation.template.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Issue triage, QA and bug reports and Digital forensics. The repository describes itself as: BMAD Method skills for Claude Code - Auto-detection, Memory integration, Slash commands. Transform Claude Code into a BMAD-powered development environment.
When your agent uses it
- Update (add evidence to open case)
- Validate (check draft for completeness before handoff)
Example prompts
- “investigate this bug”
- “triage this issue”
- “debug triage”
- “/bmad-investigate”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, TodoWrite
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Clarify the Symptom
- Load Context
- Gather and Grade Evidence
- Form Hypotheses
- Map Suspected Components
- Write the Case File
- Recommend the Planning Response
- Log the Decision
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 27dca0e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditGlobGrepTodoWrite
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Bmad Investigate loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 248 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,189 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,189 words (~2,809 tokens).
