What it does

Bmad Module Builder is an agent skill from redhat-cop/vault-config-operator. Plans, creates, and validates BMad modules. Use when the user requests to 'ideate module', 'plan a module', 'create module', 'build a module', or 'validate module'.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 18 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/module-plan-template.md`, `assets/standalone-module-template/merge-config.py` and `assets/standalone-module-template/merge-help-csv.py`).

The repository describes itself as: An operator to support Haschicorp Vault configuration workflows from within Kubernetes. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user requests to ideate module
  • Validate module

Example prompts

  • “ideate module”
  • “plan a module”
  • “create module”
  • “/bmad-module-builder”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99762c2. 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

    Ships 6 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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 Module Builder loads about 643 tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 328 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~643
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

BMad Module Builder

Overview

This skill helps you bring BMad modules to life — from the first spark of an idea to a fully scaffolded, installable module. It offers three paths:

  • Ideate Module (IM) — A creative brainstorming session that helps you imagine what your module could be, decide on the right architecture (agent vs. workflow vs. both), and produce a detailed plan document. The plan then guides you through building each piece with the Agent Builder and Workflow Builder.
  • Create Module (CM) — Takes an existing folder of built skills (or a single skill) and scaffolds the module infrastructure that makes it installable. For multi-skill modules, generates a dedicated -setup skill. For single skills, embeds self-registration directly into the skill. Supports --headless / -H.
  • Validate Module (VM) — Checks that a module's structure is complete and correct — every skill has its capabilities registered, entries are accurate and well-crafted, and structural integrity is sound. Handles both multi-skill and standalone modules. Supports --headless / -H.

Args: Accepts --headless / -H for CM and VM paths, an initial description for IM, or a path to a skills folder or single SKILL.md file for CM/VM.

On Activation

Load available config from {project-root}/_bmad/config.yaml and {project-root}/_bmad/config.user.yaml (root level and bmb section). If neither exists, fall back to {project-root}/_bmad/bmb/config.yaml (legacy per-module format). If still missing, let the user know bmad-builder-setup can configure the module at any time. Use sensible defaults for anything not configured.

Detect user's intent:

  • Ideate / Plan keywords or no path argument → Load ./references/ideate-module.md
  • Create / Scaffold keywords, a folder path, or a path to a single SKILL.md file → Load ./references/create-module.md
  • Validate / Check keywords → Load ./references/validate-module.md
  • Unclear → Present options:
    • Ideate Module (IM) — "I have an idea for a module and want to brainstorm and plan it"
    • Create Module (CM) — "I've already built my skills and want to package them as a module"
    • Validate Module (VM) — "I want to check that my module's setup skill is complete and correct"

If --headless or -H is passed, route to CM with headless mode.
