add-agent

Instructions for adding a new Forge subagent, a specialized AI worker such as a planner, reviewer, or debugger. They cover the agent file, registration, allowed tools, model routing, tests, and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating and registering a Forge subagent, defining its tools and prompt, testing its behavior, and updating architecture documentation when needed.
Why use it?
They reduce the risk of adding an agent that bypasses Forge's tool limits, validation, model router, or error handling.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

add-agent 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

Agents extend src/agents/base.ts. Copy from the simplest existing agent (src/agents/reviewer.ts or src/agents/debugger.ts).

Steps

  1. src/agents/<name>.ts — extend base. Declare:
    • allowed tool set (narrow, not "all tools"),
    • model preferences (router falls back if unavailable),
    • system prompt (short — it's paid for every turn).
  2. Register in src/agents/registry.ts.
  3. Unit test — mock callModel (see test/unit/executor-loop.test.ts). Cover:
    • the agent only calls the tools it declared,
    • a failing tool call is surfaced as a structured error, not a throw,
    • turn caps from src/core/mode-policy.ts are respected.
  4. Docs — update the agent list in docs/ARCHITECTURE.md if user-visible.

Invariants you cannot break:

  • Do not widen the allowed tool set to "all tools" to make a test pass.
  • Do not bypass src/core/validation.ts.
  • Do not call the model directly — always go through router/adapter.

Finish with the verify skill.

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.
