researchforge-doctor

researchforge-doctor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from forger-labs-hq/researchforge. It costs 47 tokens per session (342 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A readiness checker for ResearchForge, a research project tool. It checks whether required programs such as Git and Python are available and explains any failures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before starting a ResearchForge project, after setup failures, or when checking whether the machine meets the project’s requirements.
Why use it?
It identifies setup problems before research work starts and prevents later commands from failing because the environment is incomplete.

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

researchforge-doctor 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

Diagnose the ResearchForge environment

researchforge doctor --json

Each entry has name, ok, required, detail, and an optional hint.

  • All required checks pass → say the environment is ready and continue.
  • A required check fails → explain the failure in plain language, show the hint, and stop: later commands will refuse to run. Do not try to work around a failed required check.
  • An optional check fails (e.g. Docker) → note the limitation: experiments fall back to .venv mode, which is dependency isolation, not a security sandbox — only trusted repositories should be run there.

If skills seem out of date or missing, researchforge claude status --json reports the installed/modified/missing state of each skill and researchforge claude install refreshes unmodified ones.

Rules

  • The Python engine is the boundary: never work around a validation error, a protected path, or an approval gate — fix the artifact or ask the user.
  • Approvals belong to the user: never pass --yes or type a confirmation unless the user explicitly approved that step in this conversation.
  • Ground every summary in stored data: quote only numbers returned by --json output or files under .researchforge/ — never invent metrics.
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.
