Details
Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.
Account requirements not reviewed. Check the skill instructions before use; ahel provides instructions and does not run this skill.
No other account needed.
Have the BMad method set up so its skills are available to your agent.
What your AI can do with it
- Serve as required bmod metadata within the BMad method
- Signal the agent to use the separate bmad skill for setup
- Report whether the core-tools module needs installing
Getting started
- Have the BMad method set up so its skills are available to your agent.
- Do not run bmod-core-tools on its own; treat it purely as metadata.
- Invoke the separate bmad skill with the argument 'setup core-tools'.
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by bmad-code-org/bmad-method in skills/bmod-core-tools/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
This folder is the BMad Core Tools module's record, not something to run. Invoke the bmad skill with setup core-tools; it sets the module up if it never was, and otherwise reports its state. If there is no bmad skill, say so and offer npx skills add bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD --skill bmad.

Questions
- What happens if I try to invoke this skill?
- Nothing useful runs because it is a metadata placeholder, not an executable skill. The actual work goes through the separate bmad skill invoked with 'setup core-tools'.
- How should my agent handle this during setup?
- It reads bmod-core-tools as part of the BMad method's requirements, then calls the separate bmad skill with 'setup core-tools'. That call either installs the module if it is missing or reports its current state.
