Forge: Skill for Claude Code

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

forge-task is a skill for Claude Code from lionshilov/Forge. It costs 30 tokens per session (311 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-planning workflow that breaks a feature or idea into small, independent work items, records them in PROGRESS.md, and sends them to the appropriate agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to split implementation work, track dependencies and status, dispatch independent tasks in parallel, and send results through a QA check.
Why use it?
It prevents unclear ownership, missing prerequisites, conflicting file edits, and unfinished quality checks from being overlooked.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

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-task 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. The user wants: $ARGUMENTS

  1. Check prerequisites per the Routing Rules in root CLAUDE.md: run bash .claude/hooks/forge-gate.sh check <agent> for every agent the work needs. A closed gate names the context files that aren't ready and their owners — route to that owner (Product, Designer, Architect, …) BEFORE any implementation task; the PreToolUse hook blocks those dispatches anyway.
  2. Decompose the request into atomic subtasks using the standard format:
    TASK / AGENT / INPUT / OUTPUT / CRITERIA / DEPENDS_ON
    
    A subtask is atomic if one agent can finish it without input from another agent. Split at interface boundaries.
  3. Append every subtask to the table in project_context/PROGRESS.md with status ⚪.
  4. Show the user the decomposition. Ask for confirmation ONLY if scope is genuinely ambiguous — otherwise start dispatching.
  5. Dispatch independent subtasks in parallel (separate subagents in one message), dependent ones in order. Never let two agents modify the same file simultaneously.
  6. Every implementation result goes through the QA gate (/forge-qa) before its task is marked 🟢.

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.
