Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned sanyuan0704/code-review-expert at 08b6572ef1.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

Skill Forge is a framework for rapidly prototyping and testing AI skills, primarily designed to guide Claude's development into specialized agents. It provides an onboarding process with checklists and structural components (scripts, references, assets) to build procedural knowledge and domain expertise within the agent. The core principle emphasizes efficiency: every element included must demonstrably improve the model’s output.

When to use it

  • When you want to create a specialized AI agent based on Claude.
  • To accelerate the development of new skills by providing a structured workflow.
  • For prototyping and testing skill concepts before committing significant resources.
  • To ensure newly developed skills are efficient and cost-effective in their token usage.

Key capabilities

  • Structured Skill Development: Provides a checklist-driven process for building AI skills.
  • Resource Management: Facilitates the organization of reusable components like scripts, references, and assets.
  • Progressive Loading: Allows for strategic loading of resources based on need.
  • Parameter System (Optional): Supports the creation of configurable skill parameters.
  • Iron Law Enforcement: Encourages minimizing token usage by only including necessary elements.

Example prompts

While Skill Forge itself isn't directly prompted, it guides the creation of skills that can be prompted. Examples would depend on the specific skill built using this framework.

Tips & gotchas

  • Prerequisite: Requires understanding of Claude’s capabilities and limitations. The tool assumes Claude is already intelligent and focuses on supplementing its existing knowledge.
  • Token Cost Awareness: Be mindful of token usage; every element should justify its cost to avoid unnecessary expense.
  • Initialization Step: The init_skill.py script (Step 3) may be required when creating a new skill.
