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 | $0.00000 | $0.00962 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00385 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00192 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00096 |
Grade A, and why
forge 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 17d 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 — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Configuration
In .codev/config.json:
{
"forge": {
"provider": "gitlab",
"issue-comment": "my-custom-script $CODEV_ISSUE_ID"
}
}
Resolution order
- Manual concept override in
forgesection - Provider preset (if
provideris set) - Default (GitHub via
ghCLI)
Providers
Built-in presets: github (default), gitlab (via glab), gitea (via tea), linear (Linear API), jira (Jira Cloud via acli). linear and jira are hybrid: they serve the issue concepts only, and every PR concept falls through to the gh default. Jira takes jira-site and jira-project keys; issue ids are work item keys (ENG-123).
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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository cluesmith/codev (297 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 962 tokens. 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.
