docs

A policy for keeping software documentation accurate and useful. It sets standards for READMEs, code comments, generated reference material, architecture decision records, and changelogs that list user-visible changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit documentation, define what each README should contain, guide useful comments, maintain architecture notes, and update changelogs during pull requests.
Why use it?
It reduces documentation rot—information becoming outdated as code changes—and makes important project information easier to find. Ownership, dates, and links help people maintain it.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

docs 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Invoke the forge-skills:documentation-hygiene skill.

Define the README standard for every repo top-level (what this is, status, quick start, where things live, contributing, license) and every subdirectory with 5+ files. Set in-code comment policy — explain WHY, not WHAT. Comments required for non-obvious algorithm choices, workarounds, cross-file invariants, perf decisions. Forbidden for restating code or commented-out code. Establish doc-rot prevention — every doc has last-updated date, owner, and code permalinks. Prefer generated docs for API reference; hand-written docs for concepts and ADRs. Set changelog discipline — Keep-a-Changelog format, entry per user-visible change, updated in the PR not at release time.

After writing: "Docs policy written to .forge/docs-policy.md."

Changes

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.

docs is a command published in the GitHub repository aneja5/forge-skills (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 189 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
