What it does

Forge is an agent skill from swyxio/skills. Operate or diagnose SmolForge repositories and Forge Deploy/Sites when the task requires Forge-specific CLI, authentication, manifest, or release behavior on forge.smol.ai or .sites.smol.ai. Do not use for generic Git or Cloudflare work, public-page review, product strategy or analytics, or ordinary code changes that do not interact with Forge-hosted state.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/forge-source-map.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Product strategy and Authentication. It works with Git and Cloudflare. The repository describes itself as: Agent skills for Claude Code and other AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Cloudflare work
  • Public-page review
  • Product strategy
  • Ordinary code changes that do not interact with Forge-hosted state

Example prompts

  • “/forge”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 038ef34. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • sf
    • git
    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 626 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k

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.

description
Operate or diagnose SmolForge repositories and Forge Deploy/Sites when the task requires Forge-specific CLI, authentication, manifest, or release behavior on forge.smol.ai or *.sites.smol.ai. Do not use for generic Git or Cloudflare work, public-page review, product strategy or analytics, or ordinary code changes that do not interact with Forge-hosted state.

Forge

Forge has two surfaces over Cloudflare:

  • Repositories: Git hosting, issues, pull requests, Actions, transcripts, and repository agents.
  • Deploy / Sites: an exact pushed SHA becomes a preview and can later become the production application.

Cloudflare remains the runtime/provider. Do not substitute another Git or hosting product when Forge is the requested destination, and do not assume a hosted app inherits Forge or Cloudflare Access authentication.

Keep the task scoped

Classify the requested outcome before loading more process:

  • Repository operation: use ordinary Git plus Forge authentication.
  • Customer application deployment: use Forge Deploy and its release ledger.
  • Forge infrastructure repair: use the smallest healthy release path; the control plane being repaired need not deploy its own fix.
  • Source-only, CLI, documentation, analysis, or UI work: do not add production release gates unless the user also requested a deployment.

Thread-local holds and unrelated releases are not global prerequisites. Apply only the checks that mitigate a concrete risk in the requested action, and stop when that outcome is proven. Record unrelated findings as follow-ups.

Resolve current behavior

Forge is evolving. Use the installed CLI, target repository, current UI/API, and only the relevant first-party source routed by the Forge source map. Documentation does not prove current account eligibility, limits, or release state.

Inspect syntax before constructing commands:

sh
sf help
sf commands --json
sf schema --json
sf <command> --help

Identify the account, repository, default branch, and, for Deploy, project root. Preserve an existing GitHub remote unless the user asks to replace it.

Repository authentication

A signed-in Forge browser is not a local Git credential. Use Forge's scoped credential flow without exposing its token:

sh
sf auth status
sf auth git-credential <owner>/<repo>
git ls-remote <forge-remote> HEAD

Keep credential.useHttpPath enabled. Never extract tokens from browser storage or another application's keychain, or put them in remotes, source, shell history, or output. Do not force-push, replace origin, change visibility, or broaden credential scopes without the required authorization.

For GitHub migration, use Forge's current import flow. Preserve the package manager and handle Git LFS separately; importing history does not copy hosted LFS objects.

Forge Deploy contract

Forge releases an exact pushed SHA, not the local checkout. Source, build, preview, provider publication, production activation, and live verification are distinct states.

Each project needs a data-only forgeBuild.ts v1 in its configured root. Read the current manifest source from the source map, then validate:

sh
npx smolforge deploy check
  • Omitting build runs no repository build command.
  • forgeBuild.ts is statically evaluated; do not use executable configuration, dynamic imports, or forge.yml/forge.yaml.
  • An app needs an HTTP entrypoint, assets, or both. Use an SPA fallback only for browser-side routing.
  • .forge/config.json can map projects and propose bindings; it does not create projects, apply provider state, or grant DNS authority.
  • Imported Wrangler bindings can expose production resources to previews.

Creating or enabling a project, accepting service terms, promotion, rollback, disablement, routes, and provider apply are separate external state changes. Preview URLs are unlisted and noindex, not private; never put secrets or private data in them.

Release and recovery

Use Forge Deploy for customer applications. For Forge infrastructure, prefer the canonical lane while it is healthy and proportionate. Direct Wrangler is an authorized operator path when that lane is unavailable, unhealthy, implicated in the incident, or materially obstructs the bounded repair; it is not a shortcut around a customer application's release ledger.

For a direct infrastructure repair, scope one exact component, record the source SHA, current and rollback versions, and any migration or binding change, then check traffic, health/dependencies, and one reproduction. Do not require unrelated previews, portfolio reconciliation, exhaustive proof, or coordination with tasks that cannot mutate the same component or schema.

Before retrying a blocked release, identify the last proven state and targeted diagnostic. Check the exact SHA, project root, branch, and effective build/asset settings. Retry only when the immutable target and idempotency conditions are clear.

What does Forge do?

Operate or diagnose SmolForge repositories and Forge Deploy/Sites when the task requires Forge-specific CLI, authentication, manifest, or release behavior on forge.smol.ai or .sites.smol.ai. Forge is an agent skill from swyxio/skills.ai.

When should I use Forge?

Forge fits situations like: cloudflare work; public-page review; product strategy; ordinary code changes that do not interact with Forge-hosted state.

How do I install Forge in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add swyxio/skills --skill forge -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (forge in swyxio/skills) into .claude/skills/forge in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Forge in Codex?

Run `npx skills add swyxio/skills --skill forge -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (forge in swyxio/skills) into .agents/skills/forge in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Forge 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 swyxio/skills --skill forge -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, .gemini/skills/forge, .github/skills/forge and .opencode/skills/forge in your project.

What does Forge need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Forge needs the command-line tools its instructions call (sf, git and npx). Our summary lists: Node.js.

Does Forge access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git and npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
