What it does

Bmad Shard Doc is an agent skill from delorenj/mcp-server-trello. Splits large markdown documents into smaller, organized files based on level 2 (default) sections. Use if the user says perform shard document

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Databases. 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

  • The user says perform shard document

Example prompts

  • “Use the bmad-shard-doc skill to split large markdown documents into smaller, organized files based on level 2 (default) sections”
  • “/bmad-shard-doc”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Get Source Document
  2. Get Destination Folder
  3. Execute Sharding
  4. Verify Output
  5. Report Completion
  6. Handle Original Document

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Shard Doc loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 535 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

Shard Document

Goal: Split large markdown documents into smaller, organized files based on level 2 sections using npx @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser.

CRITICAL RULES

  • MANDATORY: Execute ALL steps in the EXECUTION section IN EXACT ORDER
  • DO NOT skip steps or change the sequence
  • HALT immediately when halt-conditions are met
  • Each action within a step is a REQUIRED action to complete that step

EXECUTION

Step 1: Get Source Document
  • Ask user for the source document path if not provided already
  • Verify file exists and is accessible
  • Verify file is markdown format (.md extension)
  • If file not found or not markdown: HALT with error message
Step 2: Get Destination Folder
  • Determine default destination: same location as source file, folder named after source file without .md extension
    • Example: /path/to/architecture.md --> /path/to/architecture/
  • Ask user for the destination folder path ([y] to confirm use of default: [suggested-path], else enter a new path)
  • If user accepts default: use the suggested destination path
  • If user provides custom path: use the custom destination path
  • Verify destination folder exists or can be created
  • Check write permissions for destination
  • If permission denied: HALT with error message
Step 3: Execute Sharding
  • Inform user that sharding is beginning
  • Execute command: npx @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser explode [source-document] [destination-folder]
  • Capture command output and any errors
  • If command fails: HALT and display error to user
Step 4: Verify Output
  • Check that destination folder contains sharded files
  • Verify index.md was created in destination folder
  • Count the number of files created
  • If no files created: HALT with error message
Step 5: Report Completion
  • Display completion report to user including:
    • Source document path and name
    • Destination folder path
    • Number of section files created
    • Confirmation that index.md was created
    • Any tool output or warnings
  • Inform user that sharding completed successfully

Step 6: Handle Original Document

Critical: Keeping both the original and sharded versions defeats the purpose of sharding and can cause confusion.

Present user with options for the original document:

What would you like to do with the original document [source-document-name]?

Options:

  • [d] Delete - Remove the original (recommended - shards can always be recombined)
  • [m] Move to archive - Move original to a backup/archive location
  • [k] Keep - Leave original in place (NOT recommended - defeats sharding purpose)

Your choice (d/m/k):

If user selects d (delete)
  • Delete the original source document file
  • Confirm deletion to user: "Original document deleted: [source-document-path]"
  • Note: The document can be reconstructed from shards by concatenating all section files in order
If user selects m (move)
  • Determine default archive location: same directory as source, in an archive subfolder
    • Example: /path/to/architecture.md --> /path/to/archive/architecture.md
  • Ask: Archive location ([y] to use default: [default-archive-path], or provide custom path)
  • If user accepts default: use default archive path
  • If user provides custom path: use custom archive path
  • Create archive directory if it does not exist
  • Move original document to archive location
  • Confirm move to user: "Original document moved to: [archive-path]"
If user selects k (keep)
  • Display warning to user:
    • Keeping both original and sharded versions is NOT recommended
    • The discover_inputs protocol may load the wrong version
    • Updates to one will not reflect in the other
    • Duplicate content taking up space
    • Consider deleting or archiving the original document
  • Confirm user choice: "Original document kept at: [source-document-path]"

HALT CONDITIONS

  • HALT if npx command fails or produces no output files
