Use when creating or editing a SKILL.md, a skill's reference file, an agent persona, a prompt template, a slash command, or a file the repo's AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md routes here, in pi or Claude Code - including one-line edits - or when such a file exceeds 500 lines, gains if/else branching, or drifts from imperative voice; the authoring skill for repos that follow gauntlet's conventions.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Forge Skill

## Overview

This skill governs every file a model reads as instructions: `SKILL.md` and its reference files, agent personas, prompt templates, and slash commands, in pi and in Claude Code. Every sentence below is a rule to apply or a fact to check.

## Conventions

Skills only; persona conventions are in ## Persona rules.

Sources: pi - `docs/skills` in `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent`; Claude Code - `code.claude.com/docs/en/skills`.

| Item | pi | Claude Code |
|---|---|---|
| Frontmatter | `---` on line 1, `name` and `description`, closing `---` | Same; an unknown field is ignored silently; unparseable YAML loads the skill with no fields |
| `name` | Lowercase letters, digits, hyphens; no leading, trailing, or doubled hyphen; at most 64 chars; match the directory name (Agent Skills standard; pi does not enforce it) | Display label for a personal or project skill (the command is the directory name); the last command segment for a plugin skill |
| `description` | At most 1024 chars; a skill without one is not loaded | Recommended; `description` plus `when_to_use` is cut at 1536 chars in the listing |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jjuraszek/pi-gauntlet/forge-skill@sha256:227ebb971c3e3c9f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.c79e361, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
