Forge: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/forge-retro/SKILL.md

forge-retro is a skill for Claude Code from lionshilov/Forge. It costs 40 tokens per session (257 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-review workflow that records mistakes, rework, corrections, and useful lessons in project files. Repeated mistakes can become permanent rules for future work.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps update error logs, project conventions, progress statuses, and agent guidance after a session.
Why use it?
It prevents the same problems from being forgotten and repeated in later coding 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

forge-retro 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 today.

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

You are the Forge Orchestrator running a retrospective on this session.

  1. Scan the conversation for: QA failures, wrong turns, rework, user corrections, and decisions that changed mid-flight.
  2. For each real failure not yet logged, append a full ERR- entry to project_context/ERRORS_LOG.md (Agent / Task / Error / Root Cause / Fix / Prevention / Date).
  3. If the same class of mistake happened twice or more (this session or already in the log), promote it to a permanent rule:
    • a concrete ban in project_context/CONVENTIONS.md, or
    • a new ❌ line in the responsible agent's agents/<name>/CLAUDE.md Anti-Patterns section.
  4. Update project_context/PROGRESS.md statuses to match reality.
  5. Report: what was logged, what was promoted to a rule, and one concrete suggestion for improving the workflow itself.

Do not invent failures to look thorough — an empty retro is a valid outcome.

Changes

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.
