researchforge-run

researchforge-run is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from forger-labs-hq/researchforge. It costs 38 tokens per session (530 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An experiment runner for carrying out an approved test plan, first screening attempts and then fully benchmarking the survivors.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps run approved research comparisons, measure a baseline, continue interrupted runs, and monitor progress.
Why use it?
It keeps experiments isolated from the user's working copy and records failures or rule violations instead of hiding them.

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-run 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 9d 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 — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run the experiment funnel

Running requires an approved plan — the engine refuses unapproved runs. If approval is missing, go back to the researchforge-plan skill; never look for a way around the gate.

researchforge experiment run <plan-id> --json

What the engine does (so you can narrate it honestly):

  • each attempt runs in its own detached git worktree with the contract's resource limits; the user's checkout is never touched;
  • a screening baseline is measured with the screening command first, so screening results are compared like-for-like;
  • experiments run one at a time: screening → survivors go to the full benchmark;
  • failures and constraint violations are recorded, not retried silently.

This can take a while (the plan's approval showed worst-case wall time). experiment run auto-starts a background live monitor when available and prints Live monitor: <url>always relay that URL to the user so they can watch stages complete in real time while you narrate results in chat (researchforge serve --status re-prints it; the monitor needs pip install "researchforge[serve]"). If the process is interrupted or times out:

researchforge experiment resume <run-id> --json

If the user does not want to continue an interrupted run, discard it so a fresh batch starts clean (ask them first — this cancels unfinished experiments, though finished results are kept):

researchforge experiment abandon <run-id>

When the run finishes, report per-experiment outcomes from the JSON — status, stage reached, and measured metrics. Screening numbers are screening numbers: never present them as full-benchmark or validated results. Then continue with the researchforge-results skill.

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.

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.

researchforge-run is a skill published in the GitHub repository forger-labs-hq/researchforge (8 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 530 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
