Skill Authoring

Skill Authoring is a skill for Claude Code from Razaib-khan/ForgeWeave. It costs 30 tokens per session (2,259 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating or revising ForgeWeave Skills, which are versioned bundles of instructions, scripts, references, and evaluation checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for identifying a repeatable job, designing its skill structure, writing the files, and validating the result.
Why use it?
It helps teams turn repeatable work into consistent agent workflows and check that those workflows actually work.

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

Skill Authoring 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate_skill_bundle.py), 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.

Skill Authoring

Purpose

A ForgeWeave skill is a versioned workflow bundle, not a single prompt file. This skill guides an agent through the process of identifying, designing, writing, and validating a new skill for the ForgeWeave framework. It exists to ensure every skill in the project meets the same quality bar: repeatable workflows become skills, deterministic steps become scripts, and uncertain outcomes are covered by eval checks.

When an agent is asked to "create a skill" or "write a SKILL.md", this skill provides the canonical process — from scoping the job, through structuring the bundle, to proving the skill works with an eval.

When to Use

  • The agent is asked to create a new ForgeWeave skill.
  • An existing skill needs revision, expansion, or restructuring.
  • A contributor asks for guidance on the skill format.
  • A review finds that a skill is missing sections, scripts, or evals.
  • The agent needs to convert an ad-hoc workflow into a repeatable skill.

When Not to Use

  • The work is a one-time task that will never be repeated — a skill is for repeatable jobs.
  • The work is pure code that does not involve agent judgment — use a regular script or module instead.
  • The work requires modifying the skill specification itself (SKILL_SPEC.md); that should be handled as a specification change, not a skill invocation.
  • The agent is being asked to execute a skill, not create one — use the skill's own triggers instead.

Inputs

Input Type Required Description
domain string Yes The repeatable job the skill should cover (e.g., "adapter implementation", "release verification")
use_cases array of string Yes 2-3 concrete situations where this skill applies
existing_steps string No Any existing workflow notes, prompts, or scripts the skill should be based on
tui_targets array of enum No (default: all four) Which TUIs the skill should target: opencode, claude, gemini, qwen

What ships with it

4 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.
