It helps users find the right Forge command and exposes documentation gaps when the available guidance is incomplete.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

kc-plugin-forge-help 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 5d 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.

# Plugin Forge — Quick Reference

## Commands

| Command | What it does |
|---------|-------------|
| `/kc-plugin-forge <path>` | Full pipeline: validate → TDD → agents → report |
| `/kc-plugin-forge new <name>` | Scaffold a new plugin, then full pipeline |
| `/kc-plugin-forge validate-only` | Phase 1 only — structure check |
| `/kc-plugin-forge skill-tdd-only` | Phase 2 only — TDD cycle per skill |
| `/kc-plugin-forge agent-verify-only` | Phase 3 only — verify agent definitions |
| `/kc-plugin-forge self-forge` | Forge audits itself (Phase 2 + 4) |
| `/kc-plugin-forge-help` | This help screen |

## Pipeline Phases

| Phase | What it does |
|-------|-------------|
| 1. Structure | Validate plugin.json, file layout, agent frontmatter |
| 1.5 Autonomy | A: Self-Learning (D1/D2) + B: Doc Self-Iteration |
| 2. Skill TDD | RED/GREEN/REFACTOR cycle per skill |
| 3. Agent Verify | Check examples, tools, prompts per agent |
| 4. Report | Re-validate + summary + learning capture |

## Topics (use `/kc-plugin-forge-help <topic>` for details)

| Topic | Covers |
|-------|--------|
| `getting-started` | Install, prerequisites, first forge run |
| `phases` | Deep dive into Phase 1 → 4 |
| `routes` | All routes explained (full, validate-only, skill-tdd, etc.) |
| `self-improvement` | D1/D2 learning framework, learned-patterns.md |
| `doc-sync` | Template-based doc self-iteration |
| `self-forge` | Running forge on itself |
| `gotchas` | Common pitfalls from quality-pipeline.md |
| `prerequisites` | Required marketplace plugins |

## Quick Start

**First time? Validate an existing plugin:**
1. Install prerequisites: `superpowers` + `plugin-dev` marketplace plugins
2. `/kc-plugin-forge path/to/my-plugin` → runs full 4-phase pipeline
3. Review report → fix any FAIL items

**Creating a new plugin?**
`/kc-plugin-forge new my-plugin` → scaffold + full pipeline

**Just checking structure?**
`/kc-plugin-forge validate-only` → Phase 1 only

**Periodic self-audit?**
`/kc-plugin-forge self-forge` → forge audits its own skill quality

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.
