cli-forge-demo

A kit for running a repeatable live demonstration of a software project, including a written script, reset process, checklist, and recording.

In plain words
What is it for?
Seeding demo data, resetting the project through its existing task runner, checking readiness, and creating a backup recording.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork from preparing a demo and helps the same starting state be restored each time.

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

cli-forge-demo 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 3d 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 — 222 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Optimization: This skill uses on-demand loading. Heavy content lives in references/ and is loaded only when needed.

Language rule: Skill instructions are English. Detect the project's primary language (README, comments, docs, commits) and generate the demo kit in that language. If bilingual, ask the user.

Diacritics rule: When the chosen output language uses diacritics (French, Spanish, Portuguese, etc.), render them correctly — including on capitals (É, À, Ç, Ô…). Never strip accents to ASCII: write "sécurité" not "securite", "Rôle" not "Role". ASCII-flattened French is a defect, not a style.

Writing style: Favor clarity — short sentences, one idea per sentence, plain words. A metaphor only when it clarifies. Keep one consistent register (impersonal/infinitive for operational docs). Separate narrative prose, meant to make the reader understand, from telegraphic content (tables, commands, checklists) which stays terse for action.

No fabricated output: Never invent command output, console captures, API responses, metrics, or logs. When real output is needed, emit a clearly-marked placeholder (🚧 "replace with a real capture"), never plausible-but-fake text presented as real.

Demo Forge — Reproducible Live-Demo Kit

"A good production is identical every night — not because the actors are lucky, but because the show is scripted, the marks are taped to the floor, and the stage is reset between performances."

Generate everything needed to give the same demo, flawlessly, every time: a staged script, deterministic data, a one-command reset, a backup recording, and the delivery support that best fits the project.

Core Principle — The Theatre

A live demo is a staged performance, not an improvisation. Eight mappings carry the whole skill (full model in references/staging.md):

Stage craft What it means for the demo
The script & blocking DEMO.md — exact lines (what you say) and exact marks (the precise commands). No improvisation on stage.
Same show every night Fixed seed: state, data, clock, and environment are pinned so the run is deterministic. Reality is seeded like a PRNG. The canonical reproducibility toolkit is ../shared/determinism.md (consumed by cli-forge-pipeline, cli-forge-resilience, cli-forge-perf, cli-audit-wizard, cli-forge-oci-rootless) — demo is the visible twin of that contract.
Reset the stage Returning to s0 is idempotent and fast (reset ∘ reset = reset) so you can run the demo back-to-back.
Open with the showstopper Do the last thing first — front-load the payoff (Great Demo!'s "Do It"), then peel back how.
Hit your marks Golden path / vertical slice only. Every beat earns its place; deviation is where demos die. The golden path is the T2-T3 rung of ../shared/gate-ladder.md made visible — what a demo shows is exactly what a fresh deploy + first operation proves.
No scene runs long No uninterrupted segment over ~76 seconds (Gong data). Segment, checkpoint, interact.
The understudy A pre-recorded backup (GIF / asciinema cast) and an offline mode. Never debug live > 45 s.
The matinée The self-guided version the audience can re-run alone (interactive walkthrough).

What ships with it

9 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.

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.

cli-forge-demo is a skill published in the GitHub repository Destynova2/cli-code-skills (5 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 257 tokens to every session and 3,871 once invoked, about $0.0013 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.
