What it does

Bmad Index Docs is an agent skill from delorenj/mcp-server-trello. Generates or updates an index.md to reference all docs in the folder. Use if user requests to create or update an index of all files in a specific folder

Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for interacting with Trello boards. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User requests to create
  • Update an index of all files in a specific folder

Example prompts

  • “Use the bmad-index-docs skill to generate or updates an index.md to reference all docs in the folder”
  • “/bmad-index-docs”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Scan Directory
  2. Group Content
  3. Generate Descriptions
  4. Create/Update Index

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 737292f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Index Docs loads about 411 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 143 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~411

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.

Index Docs

Goal: Generate or update an index.md to reference all docs in a target folder.

EXECUTION

Step 1: Scan Directory
  • List all files and subdirectories in the target location
Step 2: Group Content
  • Organize files by type, purpose, or subdirectory
Step 3: Generate Descriptions
  • Read each file to understand its actual purpose and create brief (3-10 word) descriptions based on the content, not just the filename
Step 4: Create/Update Index
  • Write or update index.md with organized file listings

OUTPUT FORMAT

markdown
# Directory Index

## Files

- **[filename.ext](./filename.ext)** - Brief description
- **[another-file.ext](./another-file.ext)** - Brief description

## Subdirectories

### subfolder/

- **[file1.ext](./subfolder/file1.ext)** - Brief description
- **[file2.ext](./subfolder/file2.ext)** - Brief description

### another-folder/

- **[file3.ext](./another-folder/file3.ext)** - Brief description

HALT CONDITIONS

  • HALT if target directory does not exist or is inaccessible
  • HALT if user does not have write permissions to create index.md

VALIDATION

  • Use relative paths starting with ./
  • Group similar files together
  • Read file contents to generate accurate descriptions - don't guess from filenames
  • Keep descriptions concise but informative (3-10 words)
  • Sort alphabetically within groups
  • Skip hidden files (starting with .) unless specified
