seed

seed is a skill for Claude Code from itsbroken-ai/forge-plugin. It costs 106 tokens per session (2,799 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for trying unfamiliar technology in a controlled way. It focuses on understanding the possible damage of an experiment and keeping that damage contained.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when prototyping, testing new dependencies or databases, exploring AI or machine-learning integrations, or working near production.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that a prototype, new database, library, or AI integration will affect important data or production systems.

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

seed 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:seed — Safe Ethical Experimentation and Development

You want to try something. Good. That instinct is how good software gets built.

This skill exists to make sure your experiments teach you something instead of waking you up at 3am. The philosophy is simple: push boundaries, but know where the walls are before you start swinging.

SEED is not a gate. It is a guide. The answer is almost never "don't do that." The answer is "do that, and here's how to keep it from catching fire."

The SEED Principles

Safe

Every experiment should have a blast radius you can contain. If the worst case is "I restart my dev server," go wild. If the worst case is "production database gets wiped," you need a sandbox first.

Containment is not about fear. It is about knowing what breaks and how far the break travels. A controlled explosion is science. An uncontrolled explosion is a resume-generating event.

Ask yourself: "If this goes completely sideways, what is the worst thing that happens?" If you can live with the answer, proceed. If you cannot, shrink the blast radius until you can.

Ethical

Every system you build will eventually be used by someone who is not you, in a way you did not expect. That is not paranoia, it is software development.

"Could this be misused?" is always a valid question. Not because you need to prevent every possible abuse before writing line one, but because thinking about it early costs nothing and thinking about it after an incident costs everything.

This is not about being heavy-handed. It is about being thoughtful. Consider the humans downstream of your code: the users, the data subjects, the ops team who will be paged when something breaks.

Experimentation

Push boundaries. Try things. Break things in controlled environments. The goal is learning, not perfection.

The developer who never experiments ships stale code. The developer who experiments without guardrails ships broken code. You want to be the developer who experiments with intention: clear hypothesis, contained environment, observable results.

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.

seed is a skill published in the GitHub repository itsbroken-ai/forge-plugin (11 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 106 tokens to every session and 2,799 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
