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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00112 | $0.02124 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00056 | $0.01062 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00425 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00212 |
Grade A, and why
forge-skills 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Forge Skills — what they are & how to author them
A Forge skill is the instruction set an AI agent runs for one pipeline stage of one project (triage, clarify, plan, code, review, test, fix, release …). This meta-skill explains how Forge executes skills and the standard for writing/customizing them so they run correctly and don't waste tokens. Read it before touching a project's skills.
1. What Forge does with a skill (runtime model)
- Pipeline = a status ladder. Each stage binds to exactly ONE skill (
forge_skills_register). A job at that stage loads that one skill body as its instructions — never all skills at once. - Per job the agent gets: the bound skill body + a shared preamble (status ladder, complexity/priority enums, relation kinds, handoff schema,
branchConfig, creds-as-pointer) that Forge injects and prompt-caches + a check-in bundle fromforge_step_start.references/*.mdload only when the agent reads them (lazy) — so they cost nothing until needed. - Scope & shadowing (ISS-388): global skills are read-only templates. A project customizes one by creating a same-name project skill, which shadows the global for that project. There is no fork/override — just shadow-by-name.
forge_skills_effectivededups by name (one row per name +shadowsGlobal). - Server-side + explicit sync: skills live in the Forge cloud per project. Edit =
forge_skills_update(server) →forge_skills_push(signals devices) → each device pulls and writes.claude/skills/<name>/. Nothing auto-syncs.
2. Decision tree — do you even need to touch a skill?
Need different pipeline behaviour for THIS project?
├─ A value that changes per project (branch, test URL, creds, a domain fact)?
│ → DON'T edit the skill. Put it in forge_config projectFacts / previewDeploy / branchConfig.
├─ The global stage skill is basically right, tweak the policy/heuristics?
│ → SHADOW it: create a same-name project skill (forge_skills_create), edit, register.
├─ A whole new capability/stage this project needs?
│ → New project skill + register it to a stage (or invoke standalone).
└─ It already works (most projects)?
→ Leave the global. Customisation is the exception, not the default.
What ships with it
2 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.
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-skills is a skill published in the GitHub repository SidCorp-co/forge (5 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 2,124 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
