Atlassian Forge Skills supports Atlassian Forge, a platform for building and deploying apps that extend products such as Jira and Confluence. Its skills and MCP-backed tools help coding agents create Forge apps, review them before deployment, optimize usage, troubleshoot failures, and work with Forge APIs and the Atlassian Design System.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00061 | $0.02033 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00813 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00407 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00203 |
Grade A, and why
forge-onboarding 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 152 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Forge onboarding
Guide a first-time builder from zero to a deployed, installed Rovo Agent — Forge Guru — in one continuous run. One intro, one setup gate, one build. Keep the agent concise; self-service readers get a strong welcome up front, workshop attendees get a slide-friendly flow.
Load guidance by phase
Read only the reference for the current phase. Do not preload the entire journey, README, assets, or evaluation cases. Use these stable phase names in state and transitions.
| Phase | Read when | Reference | Evidence to advance |
|---|---|---|---|
welcome |
Starting a new guided session | Use the welcome script below | User says they are ready to begin |
setup |
Beginning a new run (or a tool/login failure) | Setup | Tools and login verified; dev space, test site, and app directory collected; bundled authorization granted |
build |
Running the end-to-end build | Build | Scaffold, customize, deploy, and install all succeeded on the authorized target |
celebrate |
Reporting success | Celebrate | User knows where to find Guru and has example prompts to try |
next-steps |
Closing the tutorial | Next steps | Iteration loop and sibling-skill routes shared |
| Recovery | An observed failure needs investigation | Recovery | Failure resolved or concrete blocker reported |
| Platform check | A phase needs current CLI, schema, or endpoint facts | Platform contract | Relevant fact verified and evidence recorded |
Default transition: welcome → setup → build → celebrate → next-steps.
Recovery returns to the interrupted phase. An exit stops the workflow immediately.
Keep a compact session record
Retain these values in conversation context, updating them after meaningful actions:
| State | Record |
|---|---|
| Position | Phase, last completed action, next action |
| Local environment | OS/shell, Node and CLI versions, authentication result, accepted warnings |
| Local target | Absolute parent directory and app path; whether destination existed before creation |
| Atlassian target | Account, Developer Space name/ID, exact site, product, environment |
| Identity | Registered app.id, runtime, actual agent key/name, handler and action names |
| Progress | Scaffold created; Guru assets applied; dependencies installed; lint result; deploy and install confirmed |
| Live evidence | Guru answered a real Forge question; link to the agent on the site |
| Authorization | The single bundled authorization: exact approved actions, targets, and impacts |
What ships with it
10 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

forge-onboarding is a skill published in the GitHub repository atlassian/forge-skills (26 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 2,033 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-01.
