At a glance

A skill your agent uses when starting any conversation involving bundle-plugins — blueprinting, scaffolding, authoring, auditing, testing, optimizing, or releasing.

  • Works in 3 steps: User's explicit instructions (CLAUDE.md,… → Bundles Forge skills — override default… → Default system prompt — lowest priority
  • Starting any conversation involving bundle-plugins — blueprinting
  • SKILL.md covers Pre-flight Check, Instruction Priority, How to Access Skills and Platform Adaptation, plus 9 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Using Bundles Forge is an agent skill from OdradekAI/bundles-forge. Use when starting any conversation involving bundle-plugins — blueprinting, scaffolding, authoring, auditing, testing, optimizing, or releasing. Also use when feeling unsure which bundles-forge skill applies

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/codex-tools.md`, `references/gemini-tools.md` and `references/openclaw-tools.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Project scaffolding. The repository describes itself as: An agentic skills framework & bundle-plugin engineering toolkit that works. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Starting any conversation involving bundle-plugins — blueprinting
  • Feeling unsure which bundles-forge skill applies

Example prompts

  • “/using-bundles-forge”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. User's explicit instructions (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, direct requests) — highest priority
  2. Bundles Forge skills — override default system behavior where they conflict
  3. Default system prompt — lowest priority

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c1b0e10. 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.

    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

Using Bundles Forge loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 599 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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.

Pre-flight Check

Before invoking any bundles-forge skill on a target directory, verify the target is a bundle-plugin project:

  • Does it have a skills/ directory?
  • Does it have a package.json?

If neither exists, inform the user: "This directory doesn't appear to be a bundle-plugin project. Bundles Forge skills are designed for bundle-plugins (repositories where skills are the primary content). Would you like to create a new bundle-plugin here, or did you mean to point to a different directory?"

Exception: bundles-forge:auditing and bundles-forge:optimizing can also operate on individual skill folders or files — they don't require a full bundle-plugin project.

Instruction Priority

  1. User's explicit instructions (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, direct requests) — highest priority
  2. Bundles Forge skills — override default system behavior where they conflict
  3. Default system prompt — lowest priority

How to Access Skills

In Claude Code: Use the Skill tool. When you invoke a skill, its content is loaded — follow it directly.

In Cursor: Use the Skill tool.

In Gemini CLI: Skills activate via the activate_skill tool. See references/gemini-tools.md for tool mapping.

In Codex: Skills are discovered from ~/.agents/skills/. See references/codex-tools.md for tool mapping.

In OpenClaw: Skills auto-load from the bundle's skills/ directory. See references/openclaw-tools.md for tool mapping.

Platform Adaptation

Skills use Claude Code tool names as the default. Non-Claude-Code platforms: see the tool mapping references in this directory for equivalents.

The Rule

Invoke relevant skills BEFORE any response or action when working with bundle-plugins. If there's even a small chance a skill applies, invoke it to check.

User message about bundle-plugins
  → Might any skill apply?
    → yes → Invoke Skill tool → Follow skill → Respond
    → no  → Respond directly

Orchestrators (high-frequency entry points)

These skills diagnose, decide, and delegate. They orchestrate other skills to accomplish multi-step goals.

SkillRoleWhen to Use
bundles-forge:blueprintingNew-project orchestratorPlanning new bundle-plugins, splitting complex skills, or composing skills into bundles. Orchestrates the full creation pipeline: scaffolding → authoring → workflow design → auditing
bundles-forge:optimizingImprovement orchestratorEngineering optimization, feedback iteration, descriptions, tokens, adding skills, restructuring workflows. Delegates content changes to authoring
bundles-forge:releasingRelease pipeline orchestratorVersion management, release pipeline: audit, test, version bump, publish
Show full SKILL.md (258 more words)Show less

Executors (single-responsibility workers)

These skills do one thing well. They can be invoked directly by users or dispatched by orchestrators.

SkillRoleWhen to Use
bundles-forge:scaffoldingStructure generatorGenerating project structure, adding or removing platform support
bundles-forge:authoringContent writerWriting or improving SKILL.md content and agent definitions (agents/*.md)
bundles-forge:auditingDiagnostic reporterReviewing a project for quality issues, security risks — outputs reports, does not orchestrate fixes
bundles-forge:testingDynamic verifierTesting a plugin locally — dev-marketplace setup, hook smoke tests, component discovery, cross-platform readiness

Meta-skill

SkillPurpose
bundles-forge:using-bundles-forgeBootstrap meta-skill — you're reading it now (auto-loaded by hooks)

Skill Priority

When multiple skills could apply, prefer orchestrators over executors:

  1. New project → bundles-forge:blueprinting (orchestrates scaffolding, authoring, auditing)
  2. Improve existing project → bundles-forge:optimizing (orchestrates authoring, scaffolding, auditing)
  3. Release → bundles-forge:releasing (orchestrates auditing, testing, optimizing)
  4. Standalone content writing → bundles-forge:authoring (when you just need to write/improve a SKILL.md)
  5. Standalone structure → bundles-forge:scaffolding (when you just need to add/remove a platform)
  6. Standalone audit → bundles-forge:auditing (when you just need a diagnostic report)
  7. Standalone testing → bundles-forge:testing (when you just need to verify a plugin works locally)

Naming Conventions

  • Project name: kebab-case, descriptive (dev-workflows, data-tools)
  • Skill directories: kebab-case matching the name frontmatter field
  • Cross-references: <project>:<skill-name>
  • Bootstrap skill: using-<project>
  • Agent prompts: agents/<role>.md

Skill Types

  • Rigid skills (discipline-enforcing) — follow exactly, no adaptation. Examples: TDD, verification.
  • Flexible skills (pattern-based) — adapt principles to context. Examples: brainstorming, optimization.

The skill itself declares which type it is.

Inputs

  • (none — bootstrap skill, loaded on demand via Skill tool)

Outputs

  • routing-context — skill routing table, platform adaptation guidance, and instruction priority for the current session
