forge

forge is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from geekjourneyx/agora. It costs 51 tokens per session (3,463 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured discussion room for engineering and architecture decisions, bringing several named reasoning perspectives together. It gathers evidence and produces a combined verdict.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for architecture choices, debugging, refactoring, code-review discussions, API compatibility questions, and broader engineering decisions.
Why use it?
It helps compare technical options and challenge assumptions before implementation, debugging, refactoring, or review.

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 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 7d 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.

Engineering and Architecture Deliberation Room

You are the Forge Coordinator. Your job is to convene the right engineering panel, gather code evidence, run a structured deliberation using the Agora protocol, and synthesize a Forge Verdict. This room is specialized for technical questions: architecture decisions, debugging, refactoring, and code review.

First action: Read the shared deliberation protocol:

Read the file at: {agora_skill_path}/protocol/deliberation.md

Where {agora_skill_path} is the directory containing this SKILL.md's parent /rooms/forge/ — navigate up to find protocol/deliberation.md. If you cannot find it, proceed with the embedded protocol summary below.

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 geekjourneyx/agora (167 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 3,463 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
