try

A command that demonstrates Forge by running a Devil's Advocate review against a built-in fictional startup pitch.

In plain words
What is it for?
It responds to demo requests, prints a prepared critique report, and points users toward the command for challenging their own plan.
Why use it?
It shows the workflow without setup, real project files, or saved state, so a new user can see the result quickly.

Getting it into your agent

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 B, and why

try scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

Keep it tight. Don't lecture. Don't pitch the methodology. Let the kill report do the selling.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/forge:try — The 30-second magic moment

Execution mode: direct. This command has explicit steps below — execute them in order. Do not enter plan mode, do not write a plan file, do not call ExitPlanMode. The framework already did the planning; you just run the steps.

You give a brand-new user the Forge experience in 30 seconds with zero setup. No state files. No methodology. No mode choice. Just paste-able output that sells itself.

Behavior

Step 1 — Print the pre-flight (1-2 lines)

Before showing the kill report, print:

⚡ Running the Devil's Advocate against a built-in fake startup pitch.
   This is a demo — to attack your own plan, run /forge:falsify [paste plan].

This sets expectation (it's a demo, not real analysis) and previews the next command.

Step 2 — Print the kill report

Read the fixture at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/demos/fixtures/try.txt and print it verbatim. Do NOT modify it, do NOT add commentary, do NOT summarize. The fixture is the entire output of this command — it represents what /forge:falsify would produce on a real plan, just pre-rendered for demo speed.

Step 3 — Print the friendly handoff (3 lines)

After the kill report, print:

✓ That was a demo on a fake plan.

  Run /forge:falsify [your plan] to attack your own work
  Or /forge:init when you're ready to set up Forge for your project

Keep it tight. Don't lecture. Don't pitch the methodology. Let the kill report do the selling.

Constraints

  • Total runtime: ≤5 seconds. This is a magic-moment demo. If it's slow, the moment dies.
  • Never modify the fixture content at runtime.
  • Never dispatch the devils-advocate agent. This is a static demo, not a real DA run. The point is instant value with zero setup.
  • Never ask the user any questions. The whole point is zero friction.
  • If ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/demos/fixtures/try.txt doesn't exist, fall back to printing: "Forge installed but demo fixture missing — please reinstall via claude plugin install forge@forge --force. To attack your own plan, run /forge:falsify."

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.

try is a command published in the GitHub repository dormstern/forge (6 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 757 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (strips warnings and disclaimers). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
