What it does
Bmad Research is an agent skill from aj-geddes/claude-code-bmad-skills. Conducts market, competitive, domain, and technical research using live web sources, producing a cited research-report.md to inform BMAD planning decisions. Use when the user says: - "research [topic/market/technology]" - "competitive analysis" or "who are the competitors" - "market size" or "market landscape" - "technical research" or "evaluate [technology/framework]" - "domain research" or "industry analysis" - "what does the market look like" - "find out about [technology/space]" - "I need research before we…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/research-sources.sh` and `templates/research-report.template.md`).
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Deep research, Competitor analysis and Market research. 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
- The user says: - research [topic/market/technology] - competitive analysis
- Who are the competitors - market size
- Market landscape - technical research
- Evaluate [technology/framework] - domain research
Example prompts
- “research [topic/market/technology]”
- “competitive analysis”
- “who are the competitors”
- “/bmad-research”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, WebFetch, TodoWrite
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Clarify Intent
- Plan the Research
- Execute Research
- Update Mode
- Validate Mode
- Write the Report
- Handoff
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:
ReadWriteEditBashGlobGrepWebSearchWebFetchTodoWrite
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
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 Research loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 223 tokens; SKILL.md has 554 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, WebFetch, TodoWrite
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); the scripts in this folder 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 554 words (~1,632 tokens).
“Conducts structured, cited research across three modes to feed BMAD planning workflows. Output is a research-report.md in bmad-output/, ready for handoff to planning skills.”
