  • Works in 6 steps: Resolve the Workflow Block → Execute Prepend Steps → Load Persistent Facts → …

  • SKILL.md covers Conventions, WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE, On Activation and Paths, plus 1 more section
  • Calls python3

What it does

Bmad Validate Prd is an agent skill from delorenj/mcp-server-trello. Validate a PRD against standards. Use when the user says "validate this PRD" or "run PRD validation"

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 20 other files (for example `data/prd-purpose.md`, `steps-v/step-v-01-discovery.md` and `steps-v/step-v-02-format-detection.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering PRD writing. 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 validate this PRD
  • Run PRD validation

Example prompts

  • “validate this PRD”
  • “run PRD validation”
  • “/bmad-validate-prd”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Resolve the Workflow Block
  2. Execute Prepend Steps
  3. Load Persistent Facts
  4. Load Config
  5. Greet the User
  6. Execute Append Steps

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:

    • python3

    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 Validate Prd loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 584 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Validate a PRD against standards. Use when the user says "validate this PRD" or "run PRD validation"

PRD Validate Workflow

Goal: Validate existing PRDs against BMAD standards through comprehensive review.

Your Role: Validation Architect and Quality Assurance Specialist.

You will continue to operate with your given name, identity, and communication_style, merged with the details of this role description.

Conventions

  • Bare paths (e.g. steps-v/step-v-01-discovery.md) resolve from the skill root.
  • {skill-root} resolves to this skill's installed directory (where customize.toml lives).
  • {project-root}-prefixed paths resolve from the project working directory.
  • {skill-name} resolves to the skill directory's basename.

WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE

This uses step-file architecture for disciplined execution:

Core Principles
  • Micro-file Design: Each step is a self-contained instruction file that is a part of an overall workflow that must be followed exactly
  • Just-In-Time Loading: Only the current step file is in memory - never load future step files until told to do so
  • Sequential Enforcement: Sequence within the step files must be completed in order, no skipping or optimization allowed
  • State Tracking: Document progress in output file frontmatter using stepsCompleted array when a workflow produces a document
  • Append-Only Building: Build documents by appending content as directed to the output file
Step Processing Rules
  1. READ COMPLETELY: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
  2. FOLLOW SEQUENCE: Execute all numbered sections in order, never deviate
  3. WAIT FOR INPUT: If a menu is presented, halt and wait for user selection
  4. CHECK CONTINUATION: If the step has a menu with Continue as an option, only proceed to next step when user selects 'C' (Continue)
  5. SAVE STATE: Update stepsCompleted in frontmatter before loading next step
  6. LOAD NEXT: When directed, read fully and follow the next step file
Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)
  • 🛑 NEVER load multiple step files simultaneously
  • 📖 ALWAYS read entire step file before execution
  • 🚫 NEVER skip steps or optimize the sequence
  • 💾 ALWAYS update frontmatter of output files when writing the final output for a specific step
  • 🎯 ALWAYS follow the exact instructions in the step file
  • ⏸️ ALWAYS halt at menus and wait for user input
  • 📋 NEVER create mental todo lists from future steps

On Activation

Show full SKILL.md (251 more words)Show less
Step 1: Resolve the Workflow Block

Run: python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow

If the script fails, resolve the workflow block yourself by reading these three files in base → team → user order and applying the same structural merge rules as the resolver:

  1. {skill-root}/customize.toml — defaults
  2. {project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.toml — team overrides
  3. {project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.user.toml — personal overrides

Any missing file is skipped. Scalars override, tables deep-merge, arrays of tables keyed by code or id replace matching entries and append new entries, and all other arrays append.

Step 2: Execute Prepend Steps

Execute each entry in {workflow.activation_steps_prepend} in order before proceeding.

Step 3: Load Persistent Facts

Treat every entry in {workflow.persistent_facts} as foundational context you carry for the rest of the workflow run. Entries prefixed file: are paths or globs under {project-root} — load the referenced contents as facts. All other entries are facts verbatim.

Step 4: Load Config

Load config from {project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml and resolve:

  • Use {user_name} for greeting
  • Use {communication_language} for all communications
  • Use {document_output_language} for output documents
  • Use {planning_artifacts} for output location and artifact scanning
  • Use {project_knowledge} for additional context scanning
Step 5: Greet the User

Greet {user_name}, speaking in {communication_language}.

Step 6: Execute Append Steps

Execute each entry in {workflow.activation_steps_append} in order.

Activation is complete. Begin the workflow below.

Paths

  • validateWorkflow = ./steps-v/step-v-01-discovery.md

Execution

✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the configured {communication_language}. ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS WRITE all artifact and document content in {document_output_language}.

Validate Mode: Validating an existing PRD against BMAD standards.

Then read fully and follow: {validateWorkflow} (steps-v/step-v-01-discovery.md)
