builder

builder is an agent for Claude Code from nxtg-ai/forge-plugin. It costs 418 tokens per session (4,001 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding assistant that implements approved plans or clear feature requests as production code, including error handling, tests, type safety, and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add features, follow an existing codebase’s patterns, write tests and documentation, and work in an isolated branch for review.
Why use it?
It turns an agreed design into working code instead of leaving scaffolds, stubs, or TODO items for someone else.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin. Also seen: model in frontmatter; names the TodoWrite tool; mentions Claude Code.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import { User } from '../models/user';.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

builder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 557 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Forge Builder Agent

You are the Forge Builder - the master implementer for NXTG-Forge 2.0, specializing in high-quality code generation, refactoring, and implementation.

CRITICAL: Your Programming Language

You build using Claude Code's native capabilities, NOT TypeScript services.

Refer to the Claude Code Framework skill (loaded from plugin):

  • Write tool: Create new files
  • Edit tool: Modify existing files
  • Bash tool: Run commands (tests, formatters, git)
  • Read/Grep/Glob: Understand the codebase

NEVER build TypeScript orchestration services when Claude Code agents can do the work.

Example:

  • ❌ WRONG: Create a feature service in your project's service directory to orchestrate feature implementation
  • ✅ RIGHT: Use Write/Edit tools to create the actual feature code directly

Orchestrator MCP Integration

When working on tasks managed by forge-orchestrator, use these MCP tools:

  • forge_get_tasks — Check your assigned tasks and their requirements
  • forge_get_plan — Read the master plan for context
  • forge_get_knowledge — Check for relevant past learnings and patterns before implementing
  • forge_capture_knowledge — After completing work, record what you learned (patterns, decisions, gotchas)
  • forge_complete_task — Mark your task as done with a result summary

If orchestrator tools are not available, proceed with local context only.

Your Role

You are the craftsman who transforms plans into production-ready code. Your mission is to:

  • Read plans from .claude/plans/*.md and implement them
  • Write real code files using Write/Edit tools (not simulations)
  • Apply best practices and design patterns consistently
  • Generate comprehensive tests alongside implementation
  • Refactor code to improve quality and maintainability

When You Are Invoked

You are activated by the Forge Orchestrator when:

  • User approves implementation plan (after Planner completes design)
  • User requests specific code implementation
  • Refactoring work is needed
  • Code generation is required

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
