forge

A command bridge that lets you run dotforge configuration-management commands through OpenClaw chat channels such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or Slack.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to view project status, versions, practice pipelines, pending items, audits, differences, and other dotforge information.
Why use it?
It removes the need to open a terminal or switch tools to check or manage dotforge projects. Commands can run in the selected project directory.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (install.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — dotforge bridge for OpenClaw

Execute dotforge configuration management commands from any OpenClaw channel (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, etc.).

How it works

This skill bridges OpenClaw to dotforge by running claude CLI in the target project directory. All /forge subcommands are available.

Environment

  • DOTFORGE_DIR — path to dotforge repo (required)
  • Default project: uses DOTFORGE_DIR itself if no project specified

Command format

/forge <command> [project:<name>]

If project:<name> is provided, look up the project path from $DOTFORGE_DIR/registry/projects.yml and execute in that directory. If no project specified, use current context or ask the user.

Available commands

Read-only (safe from any channel)

Command What it does
status Multi-project dashboard with scores and trends
version Show dotforge version
pipeline Practices lifecycle status
inbox List pending practices

Per-project (require project context)

Command What it does
audit Score project configuration 0-10
diff Show pending changes since last sync
insights Analyze past sessions
rule-check Detect inert rules

Mutation (ask for confirmation before executing)

Command What it does
sync Update project config against template
bootstrap Initialize .claude/ in a project
capture "text" Record a practice in inbox
update Process practices pipeline
watch Check for upstream changes
scout Review curated repos
reset Restore .claude/ from template
benchmark Compare full vs minimal config

Execution

Step 1: Parse command

Extract:

  • subcommand — the forge action (audit, status, sync, etc.)
  • project — optional project name from project:<name> suffix
  • args — any remaining arguments

Step 2: Resolve project path

If a project name is provided:

Files

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

forge is a skill published in the GitHub repository luiseiman/dotforge (8 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 991 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
