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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 279 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00103 | $0.03348 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.01674 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00670 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00335 |
Grade A, and why
deliberation 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 7d 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 — 303 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
deliberation — The Forge Skill
Innovator (propose) → Devil (challenge) → Mediator (synthesize) 3-layer core structure. The goal is not to pick a winner — it is to extract salvageable fragments from the losing argument and produce a conditional verdict. Even those who struggle to challenge assumptions can use this structure as a rope to reach better decisions.
Role distinction from sim-conductor and steel-quench
- sim-conductor: validates quality and consistency of a completed asset
- steel-quench: adversarially stress-tests a near-complete artifact (post-build defect surfacing)
- deliberation: perspective clash during the design decision process → synthesis (upstream of both)
Triggers
/deliberation- "battle this out", "make them argue", "clash and synthesize"
- "review this decision from multiple angles"
- When agent-composer Step 4-b proposes

Natural Language Triggers (for general users — activates without internal vocabulary)
Also activates when design decisions or perspective clashes are expressed in natural language:
| Example phrase | Intent |
|---|---|
| "I'm not sure whether to do this or not" | Decision uncertainty → multi-perspective synthesis |
| "It seems like opinions are divided" | Perspective clash → synthesis layer needed |
| "Help me decide which side is right" | Conditional synthesis, not simple winner selection |
| "Someone will probably object to this" | Request for devil's advocate perspective |
| "Is it okay to keep going in this direction?" | Re-validation of design decision |
| "Review this from multiple angles" | Multi-perspective synthesis → 3-layer default |
| "Analyze this from all sides" | Multi-perspective synthesis → 3-layer default |
| "Weigh the pros and cons" | Perspective clash → devil + innovator engaged |
| "Analyze the strengths and weaknesses" | Pro/con structure → Innovator (pros) + Devil (cons) |
| "Help me make a decision" | Decision support → conditional verdict generation |
| "pros and cons", "pros cons" | Comparative analysis → synthesis layer needed |
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.
- 7d ago First seen · 303 lines · 103 tokens per session scan A 3fca4a8f2091
deliberation is a skill published in the GitHub repository chrono-meta/forge-harness (14 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 103 tokens to every session and 3,348 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
taiyi-requirement
A requirements-analysis process that turns a proposed change into a REQUIREMENT.md document. It records user needs, acceptance checks, terminology, triggers, and dependencies, with different levels of detail for different project sizes.
taiyi-change
A TaiyiForge workflow stage for writing a change proposal in CHANGE.md, with checks for scope, risks, success criteria, and related project documents.
taiyi-integration
A project workflow skill for closing a TaiyiForge change and recording it in a CHANGELOG.md file. It checks review results, tests, and the state of the working tree before archiving the change.
taiyi-test
A project workflow skill for verifying an implementation and producing a TEST.md record. TDD means writing a failing test, implementing the change, and then making the test pass; this skill checks that process and other regression cases.
taiyi-ui-design
A design-planning guide for describing how an application's user interface should look and behave. It produces a UI-DESIGN.md document covering layouts, components, interactions, accessibility, and error states.
taiyi-compress
A workflow tool for shrinking large coding-agent conversations and work files into shorter context notes. It can also coordinate separate agents for parallel development and create handoff notes for continuing work in a new session.
