Create a node-local skill on a follower machine and prepare its promotion into the shared set through a gate. Use when a new skill idea appears on a peer and should not wait for the hub. Triggers: "/skill-forge <idea>".
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
# skill-forge — a peer's skill forge (axis A + the promotion gate)
The implementation of the approved design [[decision-2026-07-14-fleet-skill-autonomy-local-namespace]]:
a peer creates ITS OWN skills locally (poisoning nobody — the blast radius on others is 0),
and they reach the fleet-wide set only through a gate. While named `local-*` a skill lives here only
(`.stignore local-*`: not synced, not rolled back by receiveonly, but still loaded by the loader).
The gatekeeper: `skill_guard.py` in this same folder (0 LLM, stdlib only). Rails from DR26-07-14-MAC-1-01.
---
## Mode A — `/skill-new` (create a local skill)
1. **Name** — `local-<slug>`, only `[a-z0-9-]`. Check it:
`python ~/.claude/skills/skill-forge/skill_guard.py --check-name local-<slug>`
2. **Scaffold**: create `~/.claude/skills/local-<slug>/SKILL.md` with frontmatter:
- `name`, `description` (when to invoke it), `permissions: [...]` (filesystem/shell/network — only what is truly needed),
`risk_level` (inert / shell-local / shell-networked / secret-touching / always-loaded-core / irreversible — the taxonomy from the external DR),

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/skill-forge@sha256:ab14f9a713069782The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.cd6c208, 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.
