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 17d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/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.local.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

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:

# Look up path from registry
python3 -c "
import yaml
reg = yaml.safe_load(open('$DOTFORGE_DIR/registry/projects.local.yml'))
for p in reg['projects']:
    if p['name'].lower() == '<project_name>'.lower():
        print(p['path'])
        break
"

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.
