forge

Creates structured agent definitions using the 7-component format grounded in persona science (the alignment-accuracy tradeoff), vocabulary routing, and the MAST failure taxonomy + Forge watchlist. Produces agents with real-world job titles, expert domain vocabulary payloads (15-30 terms), explicit deliverables, decision boundaries, imperative SOPs, and named anti-pattern watchlists. Use this skill when the user wants to create an agent, define a role, build a persona, or needs a specialized AI assistant for a specific domain. Also triggers when Mission Planner delegates agent creation for team roles. Works for any domain — software, marketing, security, operations, design, writing, research, and more. Do NOT use for creating skills (use Skill Creator) or team composition (use Mission Planner).

Reviews, curates, and maintains the Forge library of agents, skills, and templates. Performs deduplication analysis, staleness detection, quality promotion, and orphan reference checking. Produces structured review reports with actionable recommendations for merging, archiving, or promoting library items. Use this skill when the user wants to review the library, clean up agents or skills, check what's available, find duplicates, trim unused items, see library statistics, or says "what's in my library?" Also triggers on scheduled review intervals or when the library grows beyond 20 items. Do NOT use for creating new agents (use Agent Creator), creating skills (use Skill Creator), or planning teams (use Mission Planner).

Decomposes goals into team blueprints using evidence-based scaling laws, topology selection, and role design. Determines whether a goal needs a single agent or a coordinated team (3-4 agents recommended, 5 max), selects the optimal communication topology (sequential pipeline, parallel-independent, centralized coordinator, hierarchical), and produces structured blueprints with artifact chains and quality gates. Use this skill when the user wants to build something, plan a project, assemble a team, figure out what roles they need, break down a complex goal, or asks "how should I approach [X]?" — even if they don't mention agents or teams. Also triggers on specific domains: "build a SaaS," "marketing campaign," "security audit," "write a book," "launch a product." Do NOT use for simple single-step tasks, direct coding questions, or file operations that need no planning.

Creates high-quality Claude Code and Cowork skills using evidence-based principles: expert vocabulary payloads for knowledge routing, dual-register descriptions for reliable triggering, named anti-pattern watchlists for steering past the distribution center, and progressive disclosure architecture for context efficiency. Produces SKILL.md files with structured behavioral instructions, canonical examples, and bundled references. Use this skill when the user wants to create a skill, build a custom capability, make a reusable prompt template, or says "I want Claude to always do X." Also triggers when Mission Planner or Agent Creator need to create a domain skill JIT. Works for any domain. Do NOT use for creating agent definitions (use Agent Creator) or team composition (use Mission Planner).
