comment

An issue-commenting skill adds progress notes, decisions, findings, and blockers to an issue's discussion thread.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for documenting work attempted, decisions made, test results, commit references, file paths, and handoff instructions.
Why use it?
It preserves useful context on the issue so other agents and teammates can recover it across sessions.

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

comment 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 2d 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

forge comment

Purpose

Record narrative context on an issue: what you tried, what you decided, what is blocked, or what the next agent needs to know. Comments are the persistent memory of an issue's history.

When to Use

  • After a meaningful step (a decision made, a blocker hit, a test passing).
  • Before pausing work, to leave a clean handoff for the next session.
  • When forge show reveals missing context you can now supply.

Command

forge comment <id> "<message>"        # add a comment to an issue
forge issue comment <id> "<message>"  # equivalent issue-scoped form

Instructions

  1. Identify the issue id you are working (from forge claim).
  2. Run forge comment <id> "<message>" with a concise, specific note.
  3. Reference commit shas or file paths so the note is actionable later.

Example

$ forge comment forge-142 "Selector wired in bin/forge.js; multi-id close acceptance green (commit c3bcb36)."
Comment added to forge-142.

Success Criteria

  • The note is specific enough to act on without re-deriving context.
  • Decisions and blockers are captured on the issue, not just in chat.
  • show: read existing comments before adding a new one.
  • recap: summarize an issue's accumulated comments.

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.
