forge-deploy is a skill for Claude Code from gtapps/claude-code-hermit. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,420 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Laravel Forge deployment tool that previews the selected server and site before starting a deployment. A deployment publishes a new version of a web application to a server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to preview and start Forge deployments, then monitor the resulting deployment incident when a deployment fails.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of deploying to the wrong site and requires explicit approval before changing the live environment.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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-deploy 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 1mo 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.

Forge Deploy

Trigger a deployment on a Forge site. Always preview before deploying. A wrong deploy targets the wrong site — preview eliminates that risk.


Surface-then-approve flow

Step 1 — Preview (read-only, never mutates)

php ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/php/forge.php preview-deploy <server> <site>

Resolves <server> and <site> to their canonical SDK records and prints:

--- Deploy preview (no action taken) ---
Server: prod-web-01 (ID: 12345, IP: 1.2.3.4)
Site:   myapp.com (ID: 67890)

Exit 0. No network write.

Step 2 — Relay canonical target to operator

Show the canonical server name, IP, site name, and IDs.

Step 3: Deploy

php ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/php/forge.php deploy <server> <site>

This triggers the deployment and returns immediately (no blocking wait):

Deployment started: deploy-id=991 server-id=12345 site-id=67890 status=queued
Watch with: forge.php deploy-watch 12345 67890 991

Capture the canonical deploy-id, server-id, and site-id — Step 4 needs them.

Step 4 — Watch via the hermit watch registry (non-blocking)

Do not poll in a foreground Bash call: a real deploy can outlast the Bash tool timeout, which would kill the wait and skip the incident. Arm a hermit watch instead: it runs detached, notifies you on each status change and on the terminal state at zero token cost while quiet, and is tracked in monitors.runtime.json (visible via /claude-code-hermit:watch status, cancellable via /claude-code-hermit:watch stop, and cleaned up when the watch finishes or is stopped).

Requires a running resident. If the resident is unavailable, run deploy-status manually.

Resolve ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} to its absolute path now (at skill-execution time): the variable is NOT available inside the watch subprocess. Then arm the watch by invoking /claude-code-hermit:watch with this command (substitute the absolute path and the three IDs):

php /ABS/php/forge.php deploy-watch <server-id> <site-id> <deploy-id>

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.
