forge-app-delivery

forge-app-delivery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Generous-Corp/pulp. It costs 84 tokens per session (6,977 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Building and shipping a Forge app (Modular, Instrument, MIDI, FX, and the sequencer work to come) as a signed installer somebody else can actually use. Covers the seam between the Forge and Pulp repos, what a green signal does and does not prove, shipping the runtime rather than only the binary, and the wiring gaps…

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-app-delivery 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 today.

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 — 517 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Delivering a Forge app

A Forge app is not one binary. It is a shell compiled in a different repository, a Python generator, a Rack plug-in, three plug-in formats, an uninstaller and a toolchain the user's machine fetches for itself. Every delivery failure recorded here came from one of those parts being absent, stale, or present but unreachable while every check reported success.

Read this before packaging anything, and before concluding that a feature "works".

The rule that would have saved the most time

Verify identity, not size, and never a signature. In a single day this project shipped:

  • a 292-byte package that signed, notarized, stapled and passed Gatekeeper while containing nothing (staged with symlinks instead of ditto copies)
  • three plug-in bundles of 72 KB that installed cleanly and contained no code (CMake creates Contents/MacOS at configure time, so -e is true for an empty husk)
  • a 76 MB, four-payload, correctly-sized, notarized installer containing the wrong application entirely

The third is the important one. Size caught the first two and was useless for the third, because the payloads were the right size. Only identity distinguishes a correct build from a plausible one. Pick a string that exists in the current build and cannot exist in a stale or wrong one, and assert it in the packaging script:

hits=$(strings "$binary" 2>/dev/null | grep -cF "$SHELL_MARKER" || true)

Then expand the finished package and check the payload, rather than trusting the script that made it:

pkgutil --expand "Foo.pkg" out      # --payload-files does NOT recurse into
                                    # nested component payloads

The seam: the shell is built in the other repo

Forge app shells live in forge-seam/, are copied into a throwaway Forge worktree by forge-seam/populate.sh (/tmp/forge-cur), compiled there, and copied back by forge-seam/sync.sh.

Consequences that have each cost a cycle:

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-app-delivery is a skill published in the GitHub repository Generous-Corp/pulp (16 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 6,977 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-04.
