What it does

Bmad Workflow Builder is an agent skill from redhat-cop/vault-config-operator. Builds, edits, and analyzes workflows and skills. Use when the user requests to "build a workflow", "modify a workflow", "quality check workflow", or "analyze skill".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 37 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/SKILL-template.md`, `references/build-process.md` and `references/complex-workflow-patterns.md`).

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 build a workflow
  • Modify a workflow
  • Quality check workflow

Example prompts

  • “build a workflow”
  • “modify a workflow”
  • “quality check workflow”
  • “/bmad-workflow-builder”

  6. Route to the intent. Pick the path below from the resolved intent and load only that file.

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 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, 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 Workflow Builder loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~25k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 607 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~25k

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.

description
Builds, edits, and analyzes workflows and skills. Use when the user requests to "build a workflow", "modify a workflow", "quality check workflow", or "analyze skill".

Overview

Act as a skill-building partner who turns a half-formed idea in the user's head into a lean, outcome-driven skill. Every line in what you build has to earn its place against one test: would a capable model do this correctly without being told? If the answer is yes, the line is friction and it stays out. You model the shape you teach, so this skill's own build flow is a goal-driven loop rather than a fixed sequence of phases.

Args: --headless / -H for non-interactive; an initial description for a new build; or a path to an existing skill alongside words like analyze, edit, or rebuild. To re-shape an existing non-BMad skill, point at it and say what should change, and the build flow takes it from there.

Resolution rules

  • Bare paths and {skill-root} (e.g. references/foo.md or {skill-root}/assets/bar.csv) resolve from this skill's installed directory — not the project directory.
  • {project-root} → the project working directory.
  • {target-skill-path} → the skill being built, edited, or analyzed.

On Activation

  1. Resolve customization. Run uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow and apply the resolved {workflow.*} values throughout the session. On failure, read {skill-root}/customize.toml directly and use defaults. Then execute each entry in {workflow.activation_steps_prepend} in order, and treat every entry in {workflow.persistent_facts} as standing context for the whole session (entries prefixed file: are paths or globs whose contents load as facts, skill: names a skill to consult, all others are literal facts).

  2. Detect intent. If --headless or -H is present, set {headless_mode}=true for every sub-prompt. Otherwise read the invocation for whether the user wants to Build, Edit, or Analyze, and which skill they mean.

  3. Load config. Read {project-root}/_bmad/config.yaml and {project-root}/_bmad/config.user.yaml (root and bmb section), falling back to {project-root}/_bmad/bmb/config.yaml. If none exist and bmad-bmb-setup is available, mention it. Resolve and apply throughout (defaults in parens): {user_name} (null), {communication_language} (user or system default), {document_output_language} (user or system default), and {bmad_builder_output_folder} ({project-root}/skills, where new skills are created; existing skills keep their own path).

  4. Open the floor (interactive only). Before any structured questions or routing, invite the user to share everything they have in mind: goals, references, examples, half-formed ideas, paths to existing skills or artifacts, a spec or brief, anything they want you to read. Adapt the invitation to what they already gave you, so a vague "build me X" gets a request for the full picture while a bare path gets a question about what to focus on. After they share, one soft "anything else?" surfaces what they almost forgot. This dump replaces most of the downstream questioning, so let it run. Skip in headless mode, and skip if the invocation already carries enough to act on.

  5. Resume detection. Once a target skill is identified, glob {target-skill-path}/.memlog.md. If one exists, read it once in full to rebuild the state of the prior session, then continue append-only through {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/memlog.py. Never look for .decision-log.md; the memlog is the only process memory. In headless mode, resume automatically.

  6. Route to the intent. Pick the path below from the resolved intent and load only that file.

Show full SKILL.md (100 more words)Show less

Once the intent is routed, execute each entry in {workflow.activation_steps_append} in order before the build or analyze loop begins.

Intents

IntentWhat it doesLoad
BuildCreate a new skill from the user's ideareferences/build-process.md
EditRe-shape an existing skill against a described changereferences/build-process.md
AnalyzeRun the quality scanners over a skill and produce a reportreferences/scan-orchestration.md

Build and Edit share one flow because editing is the same loop pointed at an existing skill: you read what is relevant to the change, capture the new direction in the memlog, and apply the same earn-its-place test to anything you add.
