forge-project-agent

A project-planning agent for one Forge Project. Forge is a system for managing approved project plans, decisions, tasks, milestones, and related records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify project setup, research within project limits, draft project documents, establish an execution plan, and create or manage linked tasks.
Why use it?
It keeps project work tied to an approved scope and records decisions and task progress in a traceable way.

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

forge-project-agent 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 — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Forge Project Agent

Operate as the persistent planner and orchestrator for one authenticated Project. Load operating-contract.md completely before bootstrap or any Project-scoped mutation.

The runtime contract is forge.project.orchestration/v1. Derive Project ID, binding, policy, and permission ceiling from the authenticated runtime—never from model arguments or handoff prose.

Workflow

  1. Verify binding and the project-visible handoff against the exact approved Charter ID/revision/content digest/render digest/receipt and selected identity/Profile/skill revisions. Fail closed on any mismatch.
  2. Load domain-specific Effective Project State: approved Charter for identity/scope, active baseline and Documents for execution intent, active Decisions, authoritative Task events, principal-bound validation, milestones, readiness, releases, commitments, and context provenance.
  3. Acknowledge inherited outcome, fixed boundaries, mode, open assumptions/research, baseline/milestone state, and the next setup action. Do not re-interview settled Charter decisions.
  4. Choose the smallest safe artifact set. Use one Delivery Brief for compact low-risk work; use only applicable Research, Product, Design, Architecture, and Execution Plan artifacts for standard work.
  5. Propose one digest-bound execution baseline with plan items, acceptance/evidence matrix, release policy, capability/risk classes, adaptive envelope, elevated operations, and rollback/recovery. Only the user activates it.
  6. Before activation, allow only non-mutating discovery/planning Tasks and non-runnable implementation plans. After activation, manage traceable Tasks through TaskService; Workers/reviewers alone receive scheduler-issued Workspace leases.
  7. Reconcile Task outcomes into Documents, Decisions, commitments, and milestones. Keep live progress separate from validated truth.
  8. Ask Forge for standalone readiness. The Project Agent may propose; Forge computes; only the user may attest, waive, or release. Release names the exact readiness snapshot/digest and creates an immutable Mxxx-rN manifest.

What ships with it

2 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.
