ai-forge-update

ai-forge-update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from robcsaszar/ai-forge. It costs 105 tokens per session (2,204 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for revising an existing coding-agent skill or agent definition while checking its platform rules and claimed behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to repair skills or agents that misfire, trigger too often or rarely, or no longer match their descriptions.
Why use it?
It helps prevent changes that fix one problem but break required formatting, trigger conditions, or compatibility. It also separates updates from conversions to another platform.

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

ai-forge-update 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 4d ago.

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 — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AI Forge Update

Understand before touching. Confirm before applying. Judge what you've done.


Phase 0 — Load & Recap

Skip condition: If an ai-forge-recap result for the same artifact is already in the conversation context, verify the name matches, skip Phase 0 entirely, and proceed to Phase 1 using that recap.

MANDATORY — Before reading the artifact, load platform constraints:

  • For agents: identify the target platform from the file path and extension using the table in ai-forge-create/references/agents-taxonomy.md, then read that platform's section for frontmatter schema, file naming, line limits, and key constraints. Supported platforms: Claude Code (.claude/agents/*.md), GitHub Copilot (.github/agents/*.agent.md), OpenAI Codex (.codex/agents/*.toml), Google Gemini (.gemini/agents/*.md or .gemini/skills/*/SKILL.md).
  • For skills: reference the bundled spec at ai-forge-judge/references/agentskills-spec.md for frontmatter validation.

Porting to another platform? That's a conversion, not an update — it produces a new target-platform file and never writes back to the source path. Run the disposition report first:

node ../ai-forge-create/scripts/validate-metadata.cjs --name "<n>" --description "<d>" \
  --target codex --artifact agent

Apply the PORTABLE and DROPPED rows mechanically. Feed the DECIDE rows — model IDs, tool names, effort enums, anything with no bijective mapping — to ai-forge-apply as a numbered list so each is an explicit human choice. Never guess one silently; a wrong tool name fails loudly, but a wrong model ID just quietly costs more or reasons worse. Field-level detail is in ai-forge-create/references/conversion-guide.md; write the DROPPED and DECIDE rows to MIGRATION-NOTES.md beside the ported file.

Identify the target artifact. The user may name it, paste a path, or point to it in context.

What ships with it

1 file 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.
