agent-composerReads the current work context and plans the optimal agent dispatch. Clarifies direction with 1-2 questions when unclear; infers and proceeds immediately when execution path is unclear. Runs an automatic recording gate after each Wave completes. Triggered by "compose agents", "which agent should I u
apex-reviewReviews a technical proposal from the perspective of organizational decision-makers (CTO, technical lead, QA lead, conference reviewers, etc.) and generates an HTML presentation deck. Outputs approval gate results per persona and connects to sim-conductor for improvement suggestions.
asset-placement-gateRoutes a proposed skill, plugin, or agent to its correct home — forge-harness (FH) meta-skill, project-local agent, or drop — by applying a 4-criteria meta-skill bar followed by a project-local value test.
auto-decorrelationRecruits cross-family verifier sidecars (codex, agy, local 4090 over Tailscale) for adversarial verification of load-bearing changes, maximizing model-family diversity against the orchestrator. Mechanically discovers the available sidecar panel, recruits at least one cross-family verifier when prese
contention-layerWhen two skills, agents, or independent research tracks produce conflicting verdicts on the same output, reads the conflict as a signal rather than an error and harvests new skill candidates or insight deltas — including a Dual-Track Grounding conflict (open-frontier track vs internally-grounded rec
context-doctorReduces token waste in Claude Code sessions (run the built-in `/context` first; this skill covers what it does not) across two axes — context footprint (auto-generates .claudeignore, guides over-read files and /clear timing) and command output (routes to a command-output proxy/hook such as rtk to tr
corpus-grounding-expanderFetches and normalizes multi-version public-domain corpora into a single verified-axiom store for verbatim-relay grounding, recording per-version license and provenance.
cross-ecosystem-synergy-detectionAutomatically discovers useful combinations (synergy pairs) across multiple installed plugins and skills, and presents them as a ranked table. Proactively suggests undiscovered synergies when new projects or skills are registered in the registry. Activates on phrases like "do my installed tools work
deep-clarifyClarifies ambiguous requests through Socratic dialogue, drawing out goals, completion criteria, and constraints to produce a structured spec document. Pre-dispatch requirement clarification step for agent dispatch. Triggered by "I don't know what to build", "how should I approach this", "organize th
dialogue-harvestMines improvement insights from long-form AI dialogue logs and long texts — an external or pasted corpus, not the current session (current-session wrap-up belongs to harvest-loop). First operation is sycophancy removal — separates speakers, strips the counterpart's agreement/restatement spans, conve
edit-manifestImplements a predict-verify loop for harness edits. Every SKILL.md, rules/*.md, or CLAUDE.md change is paired with a predicted impact stored in a manifest. The next session verifies predictions against actual outcomes, and a validation gate accepts edits only when improvement is measurable. Runs aut
fhRenders the FH hub map on demand — the door menu, a starter set of skills, and the most-used trigger phrases — without requiring a greeting. State-aware; composes live candidates from the session card and tracks.
field-harvestScans git history of field projects to detect patterns worth backporting to the meta-harness (Mode A), and logs session work to the knowledge hub when a session ends (Mode B). Triggers on "save this pattern", "make this reusable across projects", "can we automate this repetition?", "push this to FH"
frontier-digestCollects the latest AI/harness engineering trends from HackerNews, arxiv, launch channels (Launch YC, Product Hunt, Show HN), GeekNews and vendor changelogs, then synthesizes them into actionable insights directly relevant to forge-harness operations. Triggered by "AI trends", "latest trends", "this
goal-quenchWraps /goal with a tiered safety + orchestration ladder. core (default): a token budget gate (pre-run estimate), mid-run budget thresholds, and an automatic post-run quality verification via pipeline-conductor — closing /goal's two gaps (the runner's per-turn judge evaluates completion, pipeline-con
harness-doctorScans a project's harness structure (.claude/ directory, CLAUDE.md, rules, agents) to diagnose complexity, drift, missing files, and broken references, then suggests improvements. `--lint` flag adds language-pattern scan (self-marketing, cushion words, version brags). Triggered by "harness check", "
harness-pr-reviewerChecks a submitted PR against the environment's baseline assets (CLAUDE.md, memory, naming, asset classification) and attaches a review comment with a merge recommendation. 5 steps — diff read, 8-area consistency check, self-catch, comment, merge recommendation.
harvest-loopAn 8-step self-evolution pipeline that runs after field sessions end (field-harvest → contention-layer → challenger + persona-innovator → synthesizer → Critic agent → harness-doctor → verify-bidirectional → curator), absorbing session learnings back into the FH ecosystem. Runs automatically at sessi
install-doctorScans the existing environment (after the built-in `/doctor` — this covers FH-plugin conflicts it does not) before and after meta-harness plugin install to diagnose conflicts, duplicates, and silent overwrite risks. Reports potential conflict areas with existing CLAUDE.md, skills, hooks, and audit p
install-wizardRun when setting up a new project for the first time or onboarding after installing FH (first setup, initial configuration, onboarding start, configure project, help me set up). Performs environment detection → gap diagnosis → item-by-item suggestions → user approval → execution → acceleration basel
marketplace-gateEvaluates whether a repository meets marketplace listing criteria via a 5-point check and outputs a listing suitability verdict. Checks README completeness, zero-config readiness, maintenance signals, duplication, and public safety.
memory-hygieneDetects "stale-but-confident" memory entries — facts that were once verified but have silently drifted. Scans memory/*.md for entries past their staleness threshold and proposes re-verification or archival. Runs automatically as part of harvest-loop Step 0-c and on explicit invocation.
meta-prompt-builderGenerates structured prompts to send to each agent in an agent dispatch plan. Triggered by "write the instructions", "what do I say to the agent?", "write the prompt for me", "meta-prompt-builder". Bridges agent-composer (which agents) and prompt content (what to say). Uses Goal/Context/Constraints/
persona-roster-expanderExpands a named persona seed into a tiered, judgment-mapped cast — tiering each persona by a domain safety rule, mapping each to a decision-lens in the user's vocabulary, then proposing additional voices with sourced anchors.
phantom-quenchInput-tracing grounding audit for artifacts such as test cases, analysis reports, and design docs. Extracts proper nouns, numbers, citations, version claims, and branching conditions, then back-traces each to declared local files by grep or to external sources by fetch-and-support checks. Marks miss
pipeline-conductorChains the four core FH verification pipelines (harvest-loop → steel-quench → phantom-quench → sim-conductor) into a single gated sweep. Accepts a scope (single skill, specific asset, full harness) and aggregates results into one structured report. Supports --quick mode (steps 2+3 only) and --full m
plugin-recommenderGiven a task description, searches internal and external open-source ecosystems (including Codex marketplace and Claude Code marketplace) to find and recommend suitable plugins with installation guidance. Recommendation is quality-validation based (marketplace-listed + performance-validated), not so
prompt-regressionStatically checks harness assets against a known-answer probe set after rule/skill changes — inspects the changed source for the trigger phrases, chain links and gate conditions each probe expects, and reports PASS/FAIL/SKIP per probe. Source inspection only; it does not run live sessions, so it cat
public-surface-auditScans git-tracked (public) files for operator-private tokens that should live only in gitignored files — real usernames, absolute home paths, companion-store names, company asset names. Reports file:line + matched token + severity, so a public/private split stays clean before publish. Triggered by "
return-path-gateAudits SKILL.md files in plugins/ for return-path gate compliance. Detects fire-and-forget chains where a caller dispatches a downstream skill but does not gate its next step on the callee's verdict. Reports each chain as CLOSED or OPEN and outputs specific fix suggestions. Triggered by "chain audit
salience-splitterSplits an over-loaded always-loaded context asset (SKILL.md, CLAUDE.md, memory index) into a lean resident layer plus an on-demand layer, by when content is needed rather than by length, linked by imperative pointers. Alias: skill-splitter. Triggers: "SKILL.md too large", "split this skill", "skill
sim-conductorAutonomously runs external user reaction simulations, internal audits, ideation scans, artifact validation, and quality reviews. Profiles the target artifact first, then derives task-appropriate personas, dispatches them as parallel agents, classifies findings into M/S/R tiers, and completes the pip
steel-quenchAll-angle verification meta-skill for near-complete artifacts. Turns vague design anxiety into structured challenger waves using fh-commons:quench-challenger, then drives defense and convergence until root weaknesses, residual risks, and added complexity are explicit. Covers standard attack/defense
verify-bidirectionalA skill that immediately updates the baseline and reflects it in the next session when the user raises a counter-argument to an AI recommendation. Triggered by "is that right?", "re-examine this", "something seems off here". Explicit /verify-bidirectional call also possible.
