Forge: Skill for Claude Code

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

forge-status is a skill for Claude Code from lionshilov/Forge. It costs 30 tokens per session (343 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-status report for a Forge codebase that checks phase gates, tasks, recent failures, blockers, Git changes, and the next recommended action.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking project gates, reviewing completed and blocked work, finding repeated errors, and choosing the next step.
Why use it?
It exposes mismatches between the task board and the actual files or commits, so progress reports are based on the repository.

Skill for Claude Code

This is lionshilov/Forge's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Forge itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Forge configures →

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-status 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. Produce a status report:

  1. Run bash .claude/hooks/forge-gate.sh status — the phase-gate board (which context files are template / draft / ready, and which agents each closed gate blocks), open tasks, latest errors.
  2. Read project_context/PROGRESS.md and project_context/ERRORS_LOG.md (last 5 entries max) where the board isn't enough.
  3. Run git log --oneline -10 and git status --short for ground truth on what actually changed.
  4. Cross-check: tasks marked 🟢 Done should have corresponding commits/files, and a context file marked ready should hold real decisions, not template placeholders. Flag mismatches — a board that lies is worse than no board.

Report back:

  • Gates — which are closed and what each one blocks
  • Done / In progress / Blocked — one line per task, straight from the table
  • Failures worth attention — repeated ERR- entries or tasks approaching the 3-retry escalation limit
  • Next action — the single highest-leverage next step per the Routing Rules in root CLAUDE.md; usually opening the closed gate that blocks queued work (e.g. "DESIGN.md is template but a UI task is queued → dispatch Designer first")

Do not start executing the next action — report and wait for the user.

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.
