What it does
Forge Skill is an agent skill from Kiyoraka/Project-AI-MemoryCore. Auto-triggers when AI detects a repeated pattern handled ad-hoc 3+ times, when AI makes a mistake that a permanent rule would prevent, when AI identifies a workflow that should be automated as a skill, or when user says 'create skill', 'new skill', 'forge this', 'level up', 'upgrade skill', 'self improve', 'improve skill'. Also triggers when AI wants to propose a level-up to an existing skill based on conversation patterns.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `README.md` and `install-forge.md`).
When your agent uses it
- AI detects a repeated pattern handled ad-hoc 3+ times
- AI makes a mistake that a permanent rule would prevent
- AI identifies a workflow that should be automated as a skill
- User says create skill
Example prompts
- “create skill”
- “new skill”
- “forge this”
- “/forge-skill”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Detect
- Analyze
- Propose
- Await Approval
- Create or Update
- Update System Records
- Confirm
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c421b55. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Forge Skill loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 918 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 918 words (~2,310 tokens).
“The AI that improves its own abilities through experience.”

When should I use Forge Skill?
Forge Skill fits situations like: AI detects a repeated pattern handled ad-hoc 3+ times; AI makes a mistake that a permanent rule would prevent; AI identifies a workflow that should be automated as a skill; user says create skill.
How do I install Forge Skill in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add Kiyoraka/Project-AI-MemoryCore --skill forge-skill -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (Feature/Forge-Self-Improvement-System in Kiyoraka/Project-AI-MemoryCore) into .claude/skills/forge-skill in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Forge Skill in Codex?
Run `npx skills add Kiyoraka/Project-AI-MemoryCore --skill forge-skill -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (Feature/Forge-Self-Improvement-System in Kiyoraka/Project-AI-MemoryCore) into .agents/skills/forge-skill in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Forge Skill in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Kiyoraka/Project-AI-MemoryCore --skill forge-skill -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/forge-skill, .gemini/skills/forge-skill, .github/skills/forge-skill and .opencode/skills/forge-skill in your project.
What does Forge Skill need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Forge Skill is instructions for the agent only.
Does Forge Skill access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Forge Skill safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Forge Skill use?
No licence was found for Forge Skill or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does Forge Skill use?
About 2.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Forge Skill?
