Agents are specialized AI assistants with specific capabilities, tools, and behaviors.\n\n## File Location\n\n**CRITICAL**: All agent files must be created in the `/.forge/agents` directory, where `` is the current working directory of your code-forge project.\n\n- **Directory**: `/.forge/agents`\n- **File format**: `{agent-id}.md`\n- **Example**: If your project is at `/home/user/my-project`, agents go in `/home/user/my-project/.forge/agents/`\n\nThis is the only location where forge will discover and load custom agents.\n\n## Agent File Structure\n\nEvery agent file must have:\n\n1. **YAML Frontmatter** (required):\n - `id`: Unique agent identifier\n - `title`: Agent display name\n - `description`: Detailed description of what the agent does\n - `reasoning`: Configuration with `enabled: true/false`\n - `tools`: List of tools the agent can use\n - `user_prompt`: Template for user context\n\n2. **Agent Body** (required):\n - Agent identity and purpose\n - Core principles\n - Capabilities\n - Methodology\n - Best practices\n - Limitations and boundaries\n\n### Example Agent File\n\n```markdown\n---\nid: \"forge\"\ntitle: \"Perform technical development tasks\"\ndescription: \"Hands-on implementation agent that executes software development tasks...\"\nreasoning:\n enabled: true\ntools:\n - sem_search\n - sage\n - fs_search\n - read\n - write\n - undo\n - remove\n - patch\n - shell\n - fetch\n - skill\n - mcp_*\nuser_prompt: |-\n <{{event.name}}>{{event.value}}\n {{current_date}}\n---\n\nYou are Forge, an expert software engineering assistant...\n\n## Core Principles:\n...\n```\n\n### Complete Sample Agent\n\nThis sample demonstrates a complete agent structure:\n\n```markdown\n---\nid: \"sample-agent\"\ntitle: \"Sample agent for demonstration\"\ndescription: \"A sample agent that demonstrates the complete agent file structure with all required fields and common patterns.\"\nreasoning:\n enabled: true\ntools:\n - sem_search\n - read\n - write\n - shell\nuser_prompt: |-\n <{{event.name}}>{{event.value}}\n {{current_date}}\n---\n\nYou are Sample Agent, a demonstration agent that shows how to structure agent files.\n\n## Core Principles:\n\n1. **Principle 1**: Description of the first core principle\n2. **Principle 2**: Description of the second core principle\n3. **Principle 3**: Description of the third core principle\n\n## Capabilities:\n\n### Capability Category 1:\n\n- Description of first capability\n- Description of second capability\n\n### Capability Category 2:\n\n- Description of third capability\n- Description of fourth capability\n\n## Methodology:\n\n### Step 1: First Step\n\nDescription of the first step in the methodology.\n\n### Step 2: Second Step\n\nDescription of the second step in the methodology.\n\n### Step 3: Third Step\n\nDescription of the third step in the methodology.\n\n## Best Practices:\n\n- Best practice 1\n- Best practice 2\n- Best practice 3\n\n## Limitations and Boundaries:\n\nThis agent cannot perform certain tasks. When asked to do so, politely explain the limitations and suggest alternative approaches.\n```\n\n## Creating a New Agent\n\n### Step 1: Determine Agent Purpose\n\nIdentify what the agent should accomplish:\n- What is the agent's primary function?\n- What tasks will it perform?\n- What tools does it need?\n- What are its limitations?\n- How does it differ from existing agents?\n\n### Step 2: Choose Agent ID and Title\n\nUse descriptive IDs and titles:\n- ID: Use lowercase with hyphens for multi-word (e.g., `code-reviewer`, `test-automation`)\n- Title: Use clear, descriptive text (e.g., \"Review code quality\", \"Automate testing\")\n\n### Step 3: Write the Agent File\n\nCreate the file in the `/.forge/agents` directory with the format: `{agent-id}.md`\n\n**IMPORTANT**: The file MUST be in `/.forge/agents` where `` is your current working directory. Agents placed anywhere else will not be discovered by forge.\n\n#### Frontmatter\n\n```yaml\n---\nid: \"your-agent-id\"\ntitle: \"Your Agent Title\"\ndescription: \"Detailed description of what this agent does, its capabilities, and when to use it.\"\nreasoning:\n enabled: true\ntools:\n -

Commands are stored as .md files in the /.forge/commands directory with YAML frontmatter (name, description) and markdown body containing command steps. Use when users need to add new commands, modify existing commands, or understand the command file structure. Supports special command tags like and for automated workflows.\n---\n\n# Create Commands\n\nCreate and manage commands for the code-forge application. Commands are modular workflows that can be invoked to perform specific tasks.\n\n## File Location\n\n**CRITICAL**: All command files must be created in the `/.forge/commands` directory, where `` is the current working directory of your code-forge project.\n\n- **Directory**: `/.forge/commands`\n- **File format**: `{command-name}.md`\n- **Example**: If your project is at `/home/user/my-project`, commands go in `/home/user/my-project/.forge/commands/`\n\nThis is the only location where forge will discover and load custom commands.\n\n## Command File Structure\n\nEvery command file must have:\n\n1. **YAML Frontmatter** (required):\n - `name`: Command identifier (use hyphens for multi-word names)\n - `description`: What the command does\n\n2. **Command Body** (required):\n - List of steps to execute\n - Special tags for automated workflows\n - Clear instructions for each step\n\n### Example Command File\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: check\ndescription: Checks if the code is ready to be committed\n---\n\n- Run the `lint` and `test` commands and verify if everything is fine.\n cargo +nightly fmt --all; cargo +nightly clippy --fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --workspace\n cargo insta test --accept --unreferenced=delete\n- Fix every issue found in the process\n```\n\n### Complete Sample Command\n\nThis sample demonstrates all three tag types:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: sample-command\ndescription: Sample command demonstrating the command file structure\n---\n\nThis is a sample command that demonstrates the structure of command files.\n\n- First step: Perform an initial action\n echo \"Running linting...\"\n- Second step: Execute tests\n echo \"Running tests...\"\n- Third step: Complete the workflow\n echo \"Workflow complete!\"\n- Final step: Verify everything worked correctly\n```\n\n## Creating a New Command\n\n### Step 1: Determine Command Purpose\n\nIdentify what the command should accomplish:\n\n- What task will it perform?\n- What steps are involved?\n- Are there automated checks or tests needed?\n- What should the user do with the results?\n\n### Step 2: Choose Command Name\n\nUse verb-based names with hyphens for multi-word commands:\n\n- Good: `check`, `fixme`, `pr-description`, `run-tests`\n- Bad: `checker`, `fixing`, `PRdescription`\n\n### Step 3: Write the Command File\n\nCreate the file in the `/.forge/commands` directory with the format: `{command-name}.md`\n\n**IMPORTANT**: The file MUST be in `/.forge/commands` where `` is your current working directory. Commands placed anywhere else will not be discovered by forge.\n\n#### Frontmatter\n\n```yaml\n---\nname: your-command-name\ndescription: Clear, concise description of what this command does\n---\n```\n\n#### Command Body\n\nUse markdown lists for steps. Each step should:\n\n- Start with a clear action verb\n- Be specific and actionable\n- Include context about what to do\n\n## Special Command Tags\n\nUse these tags for automated workflows:\n\n### `` Tag\n\nFor linting/formatting commands:\n\n```markdown\ncargo +nightly fmt --all; cargo +nightly clippy --fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --workspace\n```\n\n### `` Tag\n\nFor testing commands:\n\n```markdown\ncargo insta test --accept --unreferenced=delete\n```\n\n### `` Tag\n\nFor general shell commands (not linting or testing):\n\n```markdown\nrm -rf target/debug\n```\n\n### Using Tags\n\nTags should be placed on their own line after the step description:\n\n```markdown\n- Run linting and testing\n your-lint-command\n your-test-command\n```\n\n## Command Types\n\n### Simple Commands\n\nSingle-step or instruction-only commands:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: fixme\ndescription: Looks for all the fixme comments in the code and attempts to fix them\n---\n\nFind all the FIXME comments in source-code files and attempt to fix them.\n```\n\n### Multi-Step Commands\n\nCommands with multiple sequential steps:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: pr-description\ndescription: Updates the description of the PR\n---\n\n- I have created a Pull Request with all the accepted changes\n- Understand the current PR deeply using the GH CLI and update the PR title and description\n- Make sure the title follows conventional commits standard\n- Top-level summary should contain 2-3 lines about the core functionality improvements\n```\n\n### Automated Workflow Commands\n\nCommands that include automated checks:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: check\ndescription: Checks if the code is ready to be committed\n---\n\n- Run the `lint` and `test` commands and verify if everything is fine.\n cargo +nightly fmt --all; cargo +nightly clippy --fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --workspace\n cargo insta test --accept --unreferenced=delete\n- Fix every issue found in the process\n```\n\n## Command Templates\n\n### Simple Command Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: simple-command\ndescription: Does one specific thing\n---\n\nSingle clear instruction or description.\n```\n\n### Automated Workflow Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: automated-workflow\ndescription: Runs automated checks and performs follow-up actions\n---\n\n- Run automated checks\n your-lint-command\n your-test-command\n- Review and fix any issues found\n- Complete the workflow\n```\n\n### Multi-Step Workflow Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: multi-step-workflow\ndescription: Performs multiple sequential steps\n---\n\n- First step with clear action\n- Second step with context\n- Third step with specific requirements\n- Final step with verification\n```\n\n### Git Workflow Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: git-workflow\ndescription: Performs git operations\n---\n\n- Stage changes\n git add .\n- Run pre-commit checks\n cargo fmt --all\n cargo test\n- Commit with message\n git commit -m \"your commit message\"\n- Push to remote\n git push\n```\n\n## Best Practices\n\n### Naming\n\n- Use lowercase letters\n- Use hyphens to separate words\n- Use verb-based names (imperative form)\n- Keep names short but descriptive\n\n### Descriptions\n\n- Be clear and concise\n- Describe what the command does, not how\n- Include the main purpose and key outcomes\n- Avoid implementation details\n\n### Command Steps\n\n- Use numbered lists for sequential steps\n- Start each step with an action verb\n- Be specific about what to do\n- Include context for complex steps\n- Use present tense\n\n### Special Tags\n\n- Place tags on their own line after the step\n- Only use ``, ``, and `` tags\n- Include complete commands that can be executed\n- Use appropriate flags for your workflow\n\n## Common Patterns\n\n### Git Workflow Commands\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: commit-check\ndescription: Verifies code is ready to commit\n---\n\n- Run linting and tests\n cargo fmt --all; cargo clippy --fix --allow-staged\n cargo test\n- Review and fix any issues\n- Stage all changes\n```\n\n### Documentation Commands\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: update-docs\ndescription: Updates

fmt\n```\n\n(Missing `--all` flag)\n\nGood: **Correct**:\n\n```markdown\n- Format code\n cargo fmt --all\n```\n\n## Quick Reference\n\n### File Location\n\n- **Directory**: `/.forge/commands` (where `` is current working directory)\n- **Format**: `{command-name}.md`\n- **CRITICAL**: Commands MUST be in this exact location to be discovered by forge\n\n### Valid Tags\n\n- `` - For linting/formatting commands\n- `` - For testing commands\n- `` - For general shell commands\n\n### Naming Rules\n\n- Lowercase only\n- Hyphens for multi-word names\n- Verb-based (imperative form)\n- Keep it short but descriptive\n\n### Step Guidelines\n\n- Start with action verb\n- Be specific\n- Include context for complex steps\n- Use present tense\n- Keep steps focused\n\n### When to Use Tags\n\n- Use `` when running formatters or linters\n- Use `` when running test suites\n- Use `` for other shell commands\n- Place tags on their own line after step description\n- Don't use tags if the step is just an instruction\n\n## Testing Your Command\n\nAfter creating a command, test it by:\n\n1. **Syntax Check**: Verify YAML is valid\n\n ```bash\n # If you have yamllint installed\n yamllint path/to/your-command.md\n ```\n\n2. **Manual Review**: Read through the command\n - Does each step make sense?\n - Is the order logical?\n - Are all commands complete?\n\n3. **Execution Test**: Run the command\n - Does each step execute successfully?\n - Is the output as expected?\n - Are there any errors?\n\n4. **Forge Recognition Test**: Verify the command is recognized by forge\n\n ```bash\n # Option 1: List all commands (custom commands marked as type: custom)\n forge list command\n\n # Option 2: List only custom commands\n forge list cmd\n\n # Option 3: List only custom commands (newer versions)\n forge list command --custom\n ```\n\n - Does your command appear in the list?\n - Is the name correct?\n - Is the description correct?\n\n5. **Edge Cases**: Consider unusual scenarios\n - What happens if a step fails?\n - What if the environment is different?\n - What if files are missing?\n\n## Verification\n\nAfter creating a command:\n\n1. **Verify the file location**: Ensure the file is in `/.forge/commands` directory (CRITICAL - commands anywhere else will not be found)\n2. Check YAML frontmatter is valid (use `---` delimiters)\n3. Ensure the command name matches the filename (without .md)\n4. **Verify the command is recognized by forge**:\n\n ```bash\n # Option 1: List all commands (custom commands marked as type: custom)\n forge list command\n\n # Option 2: List only custom commands\n forge list cmd\n\n # Option 3: List only custom commands (newer versions)\n forge list command --custom\n ```\n\n Your new command should appear in the list with its name and description\n\n5. Test the command to ensure it works as expected\n6. Verify special tags are properly formatted\n\nIf your command doesn't appear in the list, check:\n\n- **File location**: File MUST be in `/.forge/commands` directory (this is the most common issue)\n- Filename matches the `name` field in frontmatter\n- YAML frontmatter is properly formatted with `---` delimiters\n- Both `name` and `description` fields are present\n\n## Getting Help\n\nIf you're unsure about something:\n\n- Review the examples in this skill\n- Follow the validation checklist\n- Test your command before finalizing",".forge/skills/create-github-issue/SKILL.md":"---\nname: create-github-issue\ndescription: Create GitHub issues using GitHub CLI with support for templates, labels, assignees, milestones, and draft issues. Use when the user asks to create a GitHub issue, file a bug report, submit a feature request, or open an issue in a GitHub repository.\n---\n\n# Create GitHub Issue\n\nCreate comprehensive GitHub issues using `gh issue create` by dynamically discovering and adhering to the repository's official issue templates.\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 1. Discover and Select Template\n\n**CRITICAL**: You must use the repository's official templates. Do not assume the structure.\n\n1. **List available templates**:\n ```bash\n ls .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/\n ```\n2. **Select the most appropriate template** based on the issue type (e.g., `bug_report.yml`, `feature_request.yml`).\n3. **Read the selected template** to understand its required fields, structure, and any title prefixes or default labels.\n ```bash\n cat .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/.yml\n ```\n\n### 2. Gather Context\n\nGather relevant information to fulfill the template requirements:\n\n```bash\n# Check current git status for context\ngit status\n\n# View recent commits if related to codebase changes\ngit log --oneline -10\n\n# Check if related issues exist\ngh issue list --search \"keyword\" --limit 10\n```\n\n### 3. Generate Markdown Body\n\n**MANDATORY**: Structure the issue body exactly as defined in the selected YAML template without exception.\n\n1. **Map YAML fields to Markdown**: Convert each field in the template (typically found under `body:`) into a Markdown section.\n2. **Use Headers**: Use the `label` or `id` from the YAML field as an H2 header (e.g., `## Bug Description`).\n3. **Respect Validation**: Ensure all fields marked as `required: true` in the YAML are populated with meaningful content.\n4. **Format Correctly**: Use code blocks (e.g., ` ```shell `, ` ```yaml `) for logs and configurations as suggested by the template's `render` attribute.\n\n### 4. Choose Labels\n\nSelect labels by inspecting `.github/labels.json`.\n\n- **Primary Label**: Always include a `type:` label that matches the issue type.\n- **Additional Labels**: Add relevant `state:`, `work:`, or `priority:` labels if they exist in the configuration.\n- **Constraint**: **Only use labels defined in `.github/labels.json`.**\n\n### 5. Create Title\n\nFollow the template's `title` field if it provides a prefix (e.g., `\"[Bug]: \"`).\n\n- **Be concise**: Keep under 70 characters.\n- **Use imperative mood**: \"Fix authentication timeout\" instead of \"Authentication is timing out\".\n- **Start with action verb**: Fix, Add, Improve, Update, Refactor.\n\n### 6. Execute Issue Creation\n\n**Step 1: Write body to temp file**\nUse the `write` tool to create `.forge/FORGE_ISSUE_BODY.md` with the structured Markdown content.\n\n**Step 2: Create issue**\n```bash\ngh issue create \\\n --title \"[Prefix]: Descriptive Title\" \\\n --body-file .forge/FORGE_ISSUE_BODY.md \\\n --label \"type: , work: \"\n```\n\n**Optional flags**:\n- `--assignee \"username\"`\n- `--milestone \"name\"`\n- `--draft` (For proposals or research)\n\n### 7. Finalize\n\nProvide the user with the generated issue URL and a brief summary of the created issue.\n\n## Guidelines\n\n- **No Exceptions**: You must follow the discovered template's structure exactly. If a template asks for \"Steps to Reproduce\", you must provide them.\n- **Dynamic Discovery**: Always read the files in `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/` and `.github/labels.json` first. Never rely on hardcoded knowledge of templates or labels as they change frequently.\n- **Cleanliness**: Ensure no placeholder text (like \"Describe the bug...\") remains in the final body.\n- **Contextual Awareness**: If the user provides logs or code snippets, ensure they are placed in the correct sections of the template.\n\n## Notes\n\n- **Single Source of Truth**: The files in `.github/` are the authoritative reference for issue structure and categorization.\n- **Tooling**: Use `gh` CLI directly. It is pre-authenticated and ready for use.\n- **Automation**: Do not ask for confirmation before creating the issue if the user's intent is clear.",".forge/skills/create-plan/README.md":"# Create Plan Skill\n\nTools and scripts for creating and validating implementation plans.\n\n## Files\n\n- `SKILL.md` - Main skill instructions for AI agents\n- `validate-plan.sh` - Validates a single plan file\n- `validate-all-plans.sh` - Validates all plans in a directory\n\n## Validation Scripts\n\n### validate-plan.sh\n\nValidates the structure and content of a single plan file.\n\n**Usage:**\n```bash\n./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-plan.sh plans/2025-11-27-example-v1.md\n```\n\n**Checks:**\n- ✓ Filename follows convention: `YYYY-MM-DD-task-name-vN.md`\n - Year is reasonable (2020 to current year + 1)\n - Month is valid (01-12)\n - Day is valid (01-31)\n - Task name is meaningful (not generic like \"test\", \"task\", \"temp\")\n - Task name length is reasonable (5-60 characters)\n - Version number is reasonable (not > 50)\n - No uppercase letters or underscores (use lowercase and hyphens only)\n- ✓ File is in `plans/` directory\n- ✓ All required sections present:\n - Main heading (`# Title`)\n - `## Objective`\n - `## Implementation Plan`\n - `## Verification Criteria`\n - `## Potential Risks and Mitigations`\n - `## Alternative Approaches`\n- ✓ Implementation Plan uses checkbox format (`- [ ]`)\n- ✓ No numbered lists or plain bullets in Implementation Plan\n- ✓ No code blocks (` ``` `) in the plan\n- ✓ No code snippets (detects suspicious patterns)\n- ✓ No placeholder tasks (TODO, TBD, etc.)\n- ✓ **Task quality and density:**\n - Task descriptions are descriptive (≥ 20 characters recommended)\n - Average task length is substantial (30-200 chars recommended)\n - No generic/vague descriptions (\"implement feature\", \"fix bug\", etc.)\n - No duplicate or highly similar tasks\n - Consistent and sequential numbering if tasks are numbered\n- ✓ Verification criteria have content\n- ✓ Risks include mitigations\n- ✓ Reasonable number of tasks (3-20)\n\n**Exit Codes:**\n- `0` - Validation passed\n- `1` - Validation failed (errors found)\n\n### validate-all-plans.sh\n\nValidates all plan files in a directory.\n\n**Usage:**\n```bash\n# Validate all plans in default directory (plans/)\n./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-all-plans.sh\n\n# Validate plans in custom directory\n./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-all-plans.sh path/to/plans\n```\n\n**Exit Codes:**\n- `0` - All plans passed validation\n- `1` - One or more plans failed validation\n\n## Integration\n\n### Pre-commit Hook\n\nAdd to `.git/hooks/pre-commit`:\n\n```bash\n#!/bin/bash\n# Validate plans before committing\n\nif git diff --cached --name-only | grep -q \"^plans/.*\\.md$\"; then\n echo \"Validating modified plans...\"\n ./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-all-plans.sh plans/\n exit $?\nfi\n```\n\n### CI/CD\n\nAdd to your CI pipeline:\n\n```yaml\n- name: Validate Plans\n run: ./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-all-plans.sh plans/\n```\n\n## Example Valid Plan\n\nSee `SKILL.md` for the complete plan template structure.\n\n## Common Validation Errors\n\n1. **Invalid filename format**: Must follow `YYYY-MM-DD-task-name-vN.md` pattern\n - Use lowercase letters only\n - Use hyphens (not underscores) to separate words\n - Use valid date (month 01-12, day 01-31, year 2020+)\n - Avoid generic names like \"test\", \"task\", \"temp\"\n2. **Missing checkboxes**: Use `- [ ]` not `1.` or `-`\n3. **Code blocks**: Plans should use natural language, not code\n4. **Missing sections**: All required sections must be present\n5. **Empty sections**: Sections should have meaningful content\n6. **Poor task quality**: Tasks should be descriptive and specific\n - Avoid short descriptions like \"Do this\", \"Fix that\", \"Update code\"\n - Avoid generic descriptions like \"implement feature\", \"add functionality\"\n - Include rationale and context in task descriptions\n - Aim for 30-150 characters per task description\n",".forge/skills/create-plan/SKILL.md":"---\nname: create-plan\ndescription: Generate detailed implementation plans for complex tasks.

The system should support user registration, login, logout, and token refresh capabilities while maintaining security best practices.\n\n## Implementation Plan\n\n- [ ] 1. Set up authentication dependencies and configuration\n - Add JWT library (e.g., jsonwebtoken) and bcrypt for password hashing\n - Configure environment variables for JWT secrets and token expiration\n - Rationale: Establishes foundation for secure authentication\n - Dependencies: None - this is the first step\n\n- [ ] 2. Create user model and database schema\n - Define User entity with fields: id, email, password_hash, created_at, updated_at\n - Add unique constraint on email field\n - Create database migration for users table\n - Rationale: Provides data structure for storing user credentials\n - Dependencies: Database connection must be configured\n\n- [ ] 3. Implement password hashing service\n - Create service to hash passwords using bcrypt with appropriate salt rounds\n - Add password verification function\n - Include unit tests for hashing and verification\n - Rationale: Ensures passwords are never stored in plain text\n - Dependencies: User model must exist\n\n- [ ] 4. Build JWT token generation and validation\n - Create service to generate JWT tokens with user claims\n - Implement token verification and decoding logic\n - Add refresh token functionality with longer expiration\n - Rationale: Enables stateless authentication and session management\n - Dependencies: User model and environment configuration\n\n- [ ] 5. Create authentication endpoints\n - POST /auth/register - User registration with email/password\n - POST /auth/login - User login returning access and refresh tokens\n - POST /auth/logout - Invalidate user session\n - POST /auth/refresh - Generate new access token from refresh token\n - Rationale: Provides API interface for authentication operations\n - Dependencies: All services from previous steps\n\n- [ ] 6. Implement authentication middleware\n - Create middleware to validate JWT tokens on protected routes\n - Extract user information from valid tokens\n - Return 401 for invalid or expired tokens\n - Rationale: Protects routes requiring authentication\n - Dependencies: JWT validation service\n\n- [ ] 7. Add rate limiting for authentication endpoints\n - Implement rate limiting on login and registration endpoints\n - Configure appropriate limits (e.g., 5 attempts per 15 minutes)\n - Rationale: Prevents brute force attacks\n - Dependencies: Authentication endpoints must exist\n\n- [ ] 8. Write integration tests for authentication flow\n - Test complete registration → login → access protected route flow\n - Test token refresh mechanism\n - Test error cases (invalid credentials, expired tokens)\n - Rationale: Ensures entire authentication system works correctly\n - Dependencies: All implementation steps complete\n\n## Verification Criteria\n\n- User can successfully register with valid email and password\n- User can login and receive valid JWT tokens\n- Protected routes return 401 for unauthenticated requests\n- Protected routes allow access with valid JWT token\n- Tokens expire after configured duration\n- Refresh tokens can generate new access tokens\n- Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text\n- Rate limiting prevents excessive authentication attempts\n- All unit and integration tests pass\n- Security audit shows no critical vulnerabilities\n\n## Potential Risks and Mitigations\n\n1. **Token Secret Exposure**\n - Impact: If JWT secret is exposed, attackers can forge valid tokens\n - Likelihood: Medium\n - Mitigation: Store secrets in environment variables, never commit to repository, rotate secrets periodically\n - Contingency: Implement secret rotation mechanism and token revocation list\n\n2. **Weak Password Policy**\n - Impact: Users choose weak passwords that are easily compromised\n - Likelihood: High\n - Mitigation: Enforce minimum password requirements (length, complexity), implement password strength meter\n - Contingency: Add option to require password reset for weak passwords\n\n3. **Session Hijacking**\n - Impact: Attacker steals valid token and impersonates user\n - Likelihood: Medium\n - Mitigation: Use HTTPS only, implement short token expiration, add IP address validation\n - Contingency: Implement token revocation and force logout capability\n\n4. **Brute Force Attacks**\n - Impact: Attacker attempts many password combinations to gain access\n - Likelihood: High\n - Mitigation: Implement rate limiting, add CAPTCHA after failed attempts, temporary account lockout\n - Contingency: Monitor failed login attempts and alert on suspicious patterns\n\n## Alternative Approaches\n\n1. **Session-Based Authentication**\n - Description: Use traditional server-side sessions with cookies instead of JWT\n - Pros: Easier to invalidate sessions, better for server-rendered applications, no token size limitations\n - Cons: Requires session storage (Redis/database), harder to scale horizontally, not suitable for APIs consumed by multiple clients\n - Recommendation: Not chosen - JWT better suits stateless API architecture\n\n2. **OAuth 2.0 / Third-Party Authentication**\n - Description: Use OAuth providers (Google, GitHub) for authentication instead of custom system\n - Pros: No password management, better security through established providers, easier for users\n - Cons: Dependency on external services, requires API keys and setup, limited control over authentication flow\n - Recommendation: Consider as future enhancement alongside custom authentication\n\n3. **Passwordless Authentication**\n - Description: Use magic links or OTP sent via email/SMS instead of passwords\n - Pros: No password management, simpler user experience, eliminates weak password risk\n - Cons: Requires reliable email/SMS delivery, slower authentication flow, potential cost for SMS\n - Recommendation: Consider as alternative authentication method in future iteration\n\n## Assumptions\n\n- Application already has database connection configured\n- HTTPS/TLS is configured at infrastructure level\n- Email service is available for potential password reset features\n- Frontend application exists to consume authentication endpoints\n- Environment variable management system is in place\n\n## Dependencies\n\n- Database system (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar)\n- JWT library compatible with the programming language\n- Password hashing library (bcrypt or argon2)\n- HTTP server framework with middleware support\n- Environment configuration system\n\n## Notes\n\n- Consider implementing password reset functionality in a follow-up iteration\n- May want to add two-factor authentication (2FA) as security enhancement\n- Monitor token expiration times and adjust based on usage patterns\n- Plan for token revocation strategy if needed for security incidents\n",".forge/skills/create-plan/references/plan-template.md":"# [Task Name]\n\n## Objective\n\n[Provide a clear, concise statement of what this plan aims to achieve.

This includes adding new commands, fixing CLI bugs, updating command options, or troubleshooting CLI-related issues.\n---\n\n# CLI Debug Skill\n\nThis skill provides a systematic workflow for debugging and verifying changes to the forge CLI application.\n\n## Core Principles\n\n1. **Always get latest docs first**: Run `--help` to see current commands and options\n2. **Use `-p` for testing**: Test forge by giving it tasks with the `-p` flag\n3. **Never commit**: This is for debugging only - don't commit changes\n4. **Clone conversations**: When debugging conversation bugs, clone the source conversation before reproducing\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 1. Build the Application\n\nAlways build in debug mode after making changes:\n\n```bash\ncargo build\n```\n\n**Never** use `cargo build --release` for debugging - it's significantly slower and unnecessary for verification.\n\n### 2. Get Latest Documentation\n\n**Always** start by checking the latest help to understand current commands and options:\n\n```bash\n# Main help - do this first\n./target/debug/forge --help\n\n# Command-specific help\n./target/debug/forge [COMMAND] --help\n\n# Subcommand help\n./target/debug/forge [COMMAND] [SUBCOMMAND] --help\n```\n\n### 3. Test with `-p` Flag\n\nUse the `-p` flag to give forge a task to complete without interactive mode:\n\n```bash\n# Test with a simple prompt\n./target/debug/forge -p \"create a hello world rust program\"\n\n# Test with specific functionality\n./target/debug/forge -p \"read the README.md file and summarize it\"\n\n# Test with complex tasks\n./target/debug/forge -p \"analyze the code structure and suggest improvements\"\n```\n\n### 4. Debug with Conversation Dumps\n\nWhen debugging prompts or conversation issues, use `conversation dump` to export conversations. The command automatically creates a timestamped file:\n\n```bash\n# Dump conversation as JSON (creates: YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS-dump.json)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump \n\n# Export as HTML for human-readable format (creates: YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS-dump.html)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump --html \n\n# Use dumped JSON to reproduce issues\n./target/debug/forge --conversation 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json\n```\n\n### 5. Clone Before Reproducing Bugs\n\n**Critical**: When a user provides a conversation with a bug, always clone it first:\n\n```bash\n# Clone the conversation\n./target/debug/forge conversation clone \n\n# This creates a new conversation ID - use that for testing\n./target/debug/forge --conversation-id \n\n# Keep cloning the source until the fix is verified\n# Never modify the original conversation\n```\n\n**Why clone?**\n\n- Preserves original bug evidence\n- Allows multiple reproduction attempts\n- Enables A/B testing of fixes\n- Keeps source conversation clean\n\n## Common Testing Patterns\n\n### Test New Features\n\n```bash\n# Build and test new command\ncargo build\n./target/debug/forge --help # Verify new command appears\n./target/debug/forge new-command --help # Check command docs\n./target/debug/forge -p \"test the new feature\"\n```\n\n### Reproduce Reported Bugs\n\n```bash\n# 1. Dump the conversation (creates timestamped JSON file)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump \n\n# 2. Clone it for testing (preserves original)\n./target/debug/forge conversation clone \n\n# 3. Reproduce with the cloned conversation\n./target/debug/forge --conversation-id -p \"reproduce the issue\"\n\n# 4. After fix, verify with new clone\n./target/debug/forge conversation clone \n./target/debug/forge --conversation-id -p \"verify fix\"\n```\n\n### Test Edge Cases\n\n```bash\n# Test with missing arguments\n./target/debug/forge command\n\n# Test with invalid input\n./target/debug/forge -p \"invalid task with special chars: <>|&\"\n\n# Test with boundary values\n./target/debug/forge -p \"create a file with a very long name...\"\n```\n\n### Debug Prompt Optimization\n\n```bash\n# 1. Dump conversation to analyze prompts (creates timestamped JSON)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump \n\n# 2. Review the conversation structure\ncat 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json | jq '.messages[] | {role, content}'\n\n# 3. Export as HTML for easier reading\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump --html \n\n# 4. Test modified prompts\n./target/debug/forge -p \"your optimized prompt here\"\n```\n\n## Integration with Development Workflow\n\n### After Code Changes\n\n1. **Build**: `cargo build`\n2. **Docs**: `./target/debug/forge --help` (verify documentation)\n3. **Test**: `./target/debug/forge -p \"relevant task\"`\n4. **Verify**: Check output matches expectations\n\n### Debugging a Bug Report\n\n1. **Clone**: `./target/debug/forge conversation clone `\n2. **Build**: `cargo build` (with potential fixes)\n3. **Test**: `./target/debug/forge --conversation-id -p \"reproduce\"`\n4. **Iterate**: Repeat until verified\n5. **Never commit** during debugging - only after full verification\n\n## Quick Reference\n\n```bash\n# Standard debug workflow\ncargo build\n./target/debug/forge --help # Always check docs first\n./target/debug/forge -p \"your test task\"\n\n# Dump conversation (creates timestamped file)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump \n# Output: 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json\n\n# Export as HTML for review\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump --html \n# Output: 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.html\n\n# Use dumped conversation\n./target/debug/forge --conversation 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json\n\n# Clone and test bug\n./target/debug/forge conversation clone \n./target/debug/forge --conversation-id -p \"reproduce bug\"\n\n# Debug prompts with jq (use actual filename)\ncat 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json | jq '.messages[] | {role, content}'\n\n# Test with verbose output\n./target/debug/forge --verbose -p \"test task\"\n```\n\n## Tips\n\n- **Always `--help` first**: Get latest docs before testing\n- **Use `-p` for testing**: Don't test interactively, use prompts\n- **Clone conversations**: Never modify original bug conversations\n- **Never commit**: This is for debugging only\n- **Dump creates files**: `dump` automatically creates timestamped files (no `>` needed)\n- **HTML exports**: Use `--html` flag for human-readable conversation views\n- **Use relative paths**: Binary is at `./target/debug/forge` from project root\n- **Check exit codes**: Use `echo $?` to verify exit codes\n- **Watch for warnings**: Build warnings often indicate issues\n",".forge/skills/debug-cli/scripts/README.md":"# Scripts\n\nThis directory contains helper scripts for CLI debugging and testing.\n\n## test_cli.sh\n\nBasic smoke test script that:\n- Builds the forge CLI\n- Tests main help command\n- Tests version command \n- Tests help for various subcommands\n\nUsage:\n```bash\n./scripts/test_cli.sh\n```\n",".forge/skills/github-pr-comments/SKILL.md":"---\nname: github-pr-comments\ndescription: >\n Resolve inline code review comments on a GitHub PR.

Do not attempt to resolve conflicts directly - invoke this skill first. This skill specializes in providing a structured framework for merging imports, tests, lock files (regeneration), configuration files, and handling deleted-but-modified files with backup and analysis.\n---\n\n# Git Conflict Resolution\n\nResolve Git merge conflicts by intelligently combining changes from both branches while preserving the intent of both changes. This skill follows a plan-first approach: assess conflicts, create a detailed resolution plan, get approval, then execute.\n\n## Core Principles\n\n1. **Plan Before Executing**: Always create a structured resolution plan and get user approval before making changes\n2. **Prefer Both Changes**: Default to keeping both changes unless they directly contradict\n3. **Merge, Don't Choose**: Especially for imports, tests, and configuration\n4. **Regenerate Generated Files**: Never manually merge generated files - always regenerate them from their sources\n5. **Backup Before Resolving**: For deleted-modified files, create backups first\n6. **Validate with Tests**: Always run tests after resolution\n7. **Explain All Resolutions**: For each conflict resolved, provide a one-line explanation of the resolution strategy\n8. **Ask When Unclear**: When the correct resolution isn't clear from the diff, present options to the user and ask for their choice\n\n## Workflow\n\n### Step 1: Assess the Conflict Situation\n\nRun initial checks to understand the conflict scope:\n\n```bash\ngit status\n```\n\nIdentify and categorize all conflicted files:\n\n- Regular file conflicts (both modified)\n- Deleted-modified conflicts (one deleted, one modified)\n- Generated file conflicts (lock files, build artifacts, generated code)\n- Test file conflicts\n- Import/configuration conflicts\n- Binary file conflicts\n\nFor each conflicted file, gather information:\n\n- File type and purpose\n- Nature of the conflict (content, deletion, type change)\n- Scope of changes (lines changed, sections affected)\n- Whether the file is generated or hand-written\n\n### Step 2: Create Merge Resolution Plan\n\nBased on the assessment, create a structured plan before resolving any conflicts. Present the plan in the following markdown format:\n\n```markdown\n## Merge Resolution Plan\n\n### Conflict Summary\n\n- **Total conflicted files**: [N]\n- **Deleted-modified conflicts**: [N]\n- **Generated files**: [N]\n- **Regular conflicts**: [N]\n\n### Resolution Strategy by File\n\n#### 1. [File Path]\n\n**Conflict Type**: [deleted-modified / generated / imports / tests / code logic / config / struct / binary]\n**Strategy**: [Brief description of resolution approach]\n**Rationale**: [Why this strategy is appropriate]\n**Risk**: [Low/Medium/High] - [Brief risk description]\n**Action Items**:\n\n- [ ] [Specific action 1]\n- [ ] [Specific action 2]\n\n#### 2. [File Path]\n\n...\n\n### Execution Order\n\n1. **Phase 1: Deleted-Modified Files** - Handle deletions and backups first\n2. **Phase 2: Generated Files** - Regenerate from source\n3. **Phase 3: Low-Risk Merges** - Imports, tests, documentation\n4. **Phase 4: High-Risk Merges** - Code logic, configuration, structs\n5. **Phase 5: Validation** - Compile, test, verify\n\n### Questions/Decisions Needed\n\n- [ ] **[File/Decision]**: [Question for user] (Options: 1, 2, 3)\n\n### Validation Steps\n\n- [ ] Run conflict validation script\n- [ ] Compile project\n- [ ] Run test suite\n- [ ] Manual verification of high-risk changes\n```\n\n**Present this plan to the user** and wait for their approval before proceeding with resolution. If there are any unclear conflicts where you need user input, list them in the \"Questions/Decisions Needed\" section.\n\n**For a complete example plan**, see `references/sample-plan.md`.\n\n### Step 3: Handle Deleted-Modified Files\n\n**Execute this phase only after the plan is approved.**\n\nIf there are deleted-but-modified files (status: DU, UD, DD, UA, AU):\n\n```bash\n.forge/skills/resolve-conflicts/scripts/handle-deleted-modified.sh\n```\n\nThis script will:\n\n- Create timestamped backups of modified content\n- Analyze potential relocation targets\n- Generate analysis reports for each file\n- Automatically resolve the deletion status\n\nReview the backup directory and analysis files to understand where changes should be applied.\n\n### Step 4: Execute Resolution Plan\n\n**Follow the execution order defined in your plan.** For each conflicted file, apply the appropriate resolution pattern according to your plan. **For every conflict you resolve, provide a one-line explanation** of how you're resolving it.\n\nAs you complete each action item in your plan, mark it as done and report progress to the user.\n\n#### When Resolution is Unclear\n\nWhen you cannot determine the correct resolution from the diff alone (these should already be listed in your plan's \"Questions/Decisions Needed\" section):\n\n1. **Present the conflict** to the user with the conflicting code from both sides\n2. **Provide numbered options** for resolution (Option 1, Option 2, etc.)\n3. **Explain each option** clearly with what it would do\n4. **Ask the user to choose** an option number or provide additional information\n5. **Remember their choice** and apply similar reasoning to subsequent related conflicts\n\n**Example interaction:**\n\n```\nI found a conflict in src/main.rs where both branches modify the `calculate_price` function:\n\n<<<<<<< HEAD (Current Branch)\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price * (1.0 + item.tax_rate)\n}\n=======\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price + item.tax_amount\n}\n>>>>>>> feature-branch (Incoming Branch)\n\nI'm not sure which calculation is correct. Please select an option:\n\n**Option 1**: Keep current branch (multiplies base_price by tax_rate)\n**Option 2**: Keep incoming branch (adds tax_amount to base_price)\n**Option 3**: Keep both approaches with a new parameter\n**Option 4**: Provide more context to help me decide\n\nPlease respond with \"Option 1\", \"Option 2\", \"Option 3\", or \"Option 4\", or provide additional information.\n```\n\nOnce the user responds, apply their decision and similar logic to related conflicts.\n\n#### Resolution Patterns\n\nFor each conflicted file, apply the appropriate resolution pattern:\n\n#### Imports/Dependencies\n\n**Goal**: Merge all unique imports from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging imports by combining unique imports from both branches, removing duplicates, and grouping by module.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Import Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Extract all imports from both sides\n2. Remove duplicates\n3. Group by module/package\n4. Follow language-specific style (alphabetize, group std/external/internal)\n\n#### Tests\n\n**Goal**: Include all test cases and test data from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging tests by including all test cases from both branches, combining fixtures, and renaming if necessary to avoid conflicts.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Test Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Keep all test functions unless they test the exact same thing\n2. Merge test fixtures and setup functions\n3. Combine assertions from both sides\n4. If test names conflict but test different behaviors, rename to clarify\n\n#### Generated Files\n\n**Goal**: Regenerate any generated files to include changes from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Resolving generated file by regenerating it from source files to incorporate changes from both branches.\"\n\n**Recognition**: A file is generated if it:\n\n- Is produced by a build tool, compiler, or code generator\n- Has a source file or configuration that defines it\n- Contains headers/comments indicating it's auto-generated\n- Is listed in `.gitattributes` as generated\n- Common examples: lock files, protobuf outputs, GraphQL schema files, compiled assets, auto-generated docs\n\n**Approach:**\n\n1. **Identify the generation source**: Determine what command or tool generates the file\n2. **Choose either version** temporarily (doesn't matter which):\n\n ```bash\n git checkout --ours # or --theirs\n ```\n\n3. **Regenerate from source**: Run the appropriate generation command:\n\n ```bash\n # Package manager lock files\n cargo update # for Cargo.lock\n npm install # for package-lock.json\n yarn install # for yarn.lock\n bundle install # for Gemfile.lock\n poetry lock --no-update # for poetry.lock\n\n # Code generation\n protoc ... # for protobuf files\n graphql-codegen # for GraphQL generated code\n make generate # for Makefile-based generation\n npm run generate # for npm script-based generation\n\n # Build artifacts\n npm run build # for compiled/bundled assets\n cargo build # for Rust build artifacts\n ```\n\n4. **Stage the regenerated file**:\n ```bash\n git add \n ```\n\n**When unsure if a file is generated**: Check for auto-generation markers in the file header, or ask the user if you should regenerate or manually merge the file.\n\n#### Configuration Files\n\n**Goal**: Merge configuration values from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging configuration by including all keys from both branches and choosing appropriate values for conflicts.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Configuration File Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Include all keys from both sides\n2. For conflicting values, choose based on:\n - Newer/more recent value\n - Safer/more conservative value\n - Production requirements\n3. Document choice in commit message\n\n**When unclear**: Ask the user which configuration value to prefer (current vs incoming)\n\n#### Code Logic\n\n**Goal**: Understand intent of both changes and combine if possible.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Resolving code logic by analyzing intent: merging if changes are orthogonal, or choosing one approach if they conflict.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Code Logic Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Analyze what each branch is trying to achieve\n2. If changes are orthogonal (different concerns), merge both\n3. If changes conflict (same concern, different approach):\n - Review commit messages/PRs for context\n - Choose the approach that matches requirements\n - Test both approaches if unclear\n - Document the decision\n\n**When unclear**: Present both approaches as options to the user with context about what each does\n\n#### Struct/Type Definitions\n\n**Goal**: Include all fields from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging struct by including all fields from both branches and choosing appropriate types for any conflicting field definitions.\"\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Merge all fields\n2. If field types conflict, analyze which is more appropriate\n3. Fix all compilation errors from updated struct\n4. Update tests to use new fields\n\n**When unclear**: Ask the user which type definition is correct if field types conflict\n\n### Step 5: Validate Resolution\n\nAfter completing all resolution phases in your plan, validate that all conflicts are resolved:\n\n```bash\n.forge/skills/resolve-conflicts/scripts/validate-conflicts.sh\n```\n\nThis script checks for:\n\n- Remaining conflict markers (<<<<<<<, =======, >>>>>>>)\n- Unmerged paths in git status\n- Deleted-modified conflicts\n- Merge state files\n\n### Step 6: Compile and Test\n\nBuild and test to ensure the resolution is correct (as defined in your plan's validation steps):\n\n```bash\n# For Rust projects\ncargo test\n\n# For other projects, use appropriate test command\n# npm test\n# pytest\n# etc.\n```\n\nIf tests fail:\n\n1. Review the failure - is it from merged code or conflict resolution?\n2. Check if both branches' tests pass individually\n3. Fix integration issues between the merged changes\n4. Re-run tests until all pass\n\n### Step 7: Finalize\n\nOnce all conflicts are resolved and tests pass, review your completed plan and commit:\n\n```bash\n# Review the changes\ngit diff --cached\n\n# Commit with descriptive message that references the plan\ngit commit -m \"Resolve merge conflicts: [describe key decisions]\n\nExecuted merge resolution plan:\n- [Phase 1 summary]\n- [Phase 2 summary]\n- [Phase 3+ summaries]\n\nKey decisions:\n- Merged imports from both branches\n- Combined test cases\n- Regenerated lock files\n- [other significant decisions from plan]\n\nCo-Authored-By: ForgeCode \"\n```\n\n## Decision Tracking\n\nWhen you ask the user to choose between options, track their decision and apply similar reasoning to subsequent conflicts:\n\n**Example scenario:**\n\n1. First conflict: User chooses Option 1 (prefer current branch's validation logic)\n2. Second similar conflict: Apply the same reasoning (prefer current branch's validation approach)\n3. Mention: \"Resolving by keeping current branch's approach (consistent with your earlier choice)\"\n\n**Key principles:**\n\n- Remember user preferences within the same conflict resolution session\n- Apply consistent patterns when conflicts are similar\n- Mention the consistency: \"Following the same pattern as before...\"\n- Ask again if a new conflict is sufficiently different from previous ones\n\n## Common Patterns Reference\n\nFor detailed resolution patterns, read:\n\n- `references/patterns.md` - Comprehensive examples for all conflict types\n\n**Quick pattern lookup:**\n\n- **Imports**: Combine all unique imports, group by module\n- **Tests**: Keep all tests unless identical, merge fixtures\n- **Generated files**: Choose either version, regenerate from source\n- **Config**: Merge all keys, choose newer/safer values for conflicts\n- **Code**: Analyze intent, merge if orthogonal, choose one if conflicting\n- **Structs**: Include all fields from both branches\n- **Docs**: Combine all documentation sections\n\n## Special Scenarios\n\n### Binary Files in Conflict\n\nBinary files cannot be merged. Choose one version:\n\n```bash\ngit checkout --ours path/to/binary # keep our version\n# or\ngit checkout --theirs path/to/binary # keep their version\n```\n\n### Mass Rename/Refactoring Conflicts\n\nIf one branch renamed/refactored many files while another modified them:\n\n1. Accept the rename/refactoring (structural change)\n2. Apply the modifications to the new structure\n3. Use backups from `handle-deleted-modified.sh` to guide the application\n\n### Submodule Conflicts\n\n```bash\n# Check submodule status\ngit submodule status\n\n# Update to the correct commit\ncd path/to/submodule\ngit checkout \ncd ../..\ngit add path/to/submodule\n```\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### \"Both Added\" Conflicts (AA)\n\nBoth branches added a new file with the same name but different content:\n\n1. Review both versions\n2. If they serve the same purpose, merge their content\n3. If they serve different purposes, rename one\n\n### Whitespace-Only Conflicts\n\nIf conflicts are only whitespace differences:\n\n```bash\ngit merge -Xignore-space-change \n```\n\n### Persistent Conflict Markers\n\nIf validation shows conflict markers but you think you resolved them:\n\n1. Search for the exact marker strings: `git grep -n \"<<<<<<< HEAD\"`\n2. Some markers might be in strings or comments - resolve those too\n3. Check for hidden characters or encoding issues\n\n### Tests Fail After Resolution\n\n1. Test each branch individually to confirm they pass\n2. The failure is likely from interaction between the merged changes\n3. Debug the interaction issue, not the individual changes\n4. Update code to make both changes work together\n\n## Quick Reference Card\n\n| Conflict Type | Strategy | One-line Explanation Template |\n| ---------------- | --------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| Imports | Merge all, deduplicate, group by module | \"Merging imports by combining unique imports from both branches and grouping by module\" |\n| Tests | Keep all, merge fixtures | \"Including all test cases from both branches and combining test fixtures\" |\n| Generated files | Regenerate from source | \"Regenerating [file] from source to include changes from both branches\" |\n| Config | Merge keys, choose newer values | \"Merging all config keys and choosing [current/incoming] value for [key]\" |\n| Code logic | Analyze intent, merge if orthogonal | \"Merging both changes as they address different concerns\" OR \"Choosing [current/incoming] approach for [reason]\" |\n| Structs | Include all fields | \"Including all fields from both branches in struct definition\" |\n| Docs | Combine all sections | \"Combining documentation from both branches\" |\n| Deleted-modified | Backup, analyze, apply to new location | \"Applying modifications to new location after file was moved/renamed\" |\n| Binary files | Choose one version | \"Keeping [current/incoming] version of binary file\" |\n\n**Remember:**\n\n- Always provide a one-line explanation for each conflict resolution\n- When unclear, present numbered options to the user\n- Track user decisions and apply consistently to similar conflicts\n- The goal is to preserve the intent and functionality of both branches while creating a cohesive merged result\n",".forge/skills/resolve-conflicts/references/patterns.md":"# Conflict Resolution Patterns\n\nThis document provides detailed patterns for resolving specific types of conflicts.\n\n**Important**: For each conflict you resolve, provide a one-line explanation of your resolution strategy. When the correct resolution isn't clear from the diff, present numbered options to the user.\n\n## Import Conflicts\n\nWhen both branches modify import statements, merge both sets of imports:\n\n### Pattern: Combine and Deduplicate\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nimport { foo, bar } from './module';\nimport { baz } from './other';\n=======\nimport { foo, qux } from './module';\nimport { newThing } from './another';\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:** Merge all unique imports, group by module:\n\n```\nimport { foo, bar, qux } from './module';\nimport { baz } from './other';\nimport { newThing } from './another';\n```\n\n### Rust Imports\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nuse std::collections::HashMap;\nuse crate::domain::User;\n=======\nuse std::collections::HashSet;\nuse crate::domain::Account;\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:**\n\n```\nuse std::collections::{HashMap, HashSet};\nuse crate::domain::{Account, User};\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Combine all unique imports\n- Remove duplicates\n- Follow language-specific style (group by module, alphabetize)\n- Preserve any re-exports or aliases from both sides\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Merging imports by combining unique imports from both branches and grouping by module.\"\n\n## Test Conflicts\n\nTests should almost always include both changes, as tests are additive.\n\n### Pattern: Merge Test Cases\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\n#[test]\nfn test_user_creation() { ... }\n\n#[test]\nfn test_user_validation() { ... }\n=======\n#[test]\nfn test_user_creation() { ... }\n\n#[test]\nfn test_user_deletion() { ... }\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:** Include all tests (assuming test_user_creation is identical):\n\n```\n#[test]\nfn test_user_creation() { ... }\n\n#[test]\nfn test_user_validation() { ... }\n\n#[test]\nfn test_user_deletion() { ... }\n```\n\n### Test Setup/Fixtures Conflicts\n\nWhen both branches modify test fixtures, merge the changes:\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nfn setup() -> TestContext {\n TestContext {\n user: create_test_user(),\n admin: create_admin(),\n }\n}\n=======\nfn setup() -> TestContext {\n TestContext {\n user: create_test_user(),\n database: init_test_db(),\n }\n}\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:**\n\n```\nfn setup() -> TestContext {\n TestContext {\n user: create_test_user(),\n admin: create_admin(),\n database: init_test_db(),\n }\n}\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Keep all test cases unless they test the exact same thing\n- Merge test fixtures and setup functions\n- If test names conflict but test different things, rename one\n- Preserve all assertions from both sides\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Including all test cases from both branches and merging test fixtures.\"\n\n## Lock File Conflicts\n\nLock files (Cargo.lock, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, etc.) should be regenerated rather than manually resolved.\n\n### Pattern: Regenerate Lock File\n\n```bash\n# For Cargo.lock\ngit checkout --theirs Cargo.lock # or --ours, either works\ncargo update # or cargo build\n\n# For package-lock.json\ngit checkout --theirs package-lock.json\nnpm install\n\n# For yarn.lock\ngit checkout --theirs yarn.lock\nyarn install\n\n# For Gemfile.lock\ngit checkout --theirs Gemfile.lock\nbundle install\n\n# For poetry.lock\ngit checkout --theirs poetry.lock\npoetry lock --no-update\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Always regenerate, never manually merge\n- Choose either version (--ours or --theirs), doesn't matter\n- Run the package manager's update/install command\n- The result will include dependencies from both branches\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Regenerating lock file with package manager to include dependencies from both branches.\"\n\n## Configuration File Conflicts\n\nConfiguration files often need careful merging of both changes.\n\n### Pattern: Merge Configuration Values\n\n```yaml\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nserver:\n port: 8080\n timeout: 30\n max_connections: 100\n=======\nserver:\n port: 8080\n timeout: 60\n enable_https: true\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:**\n\n```yaml\nserver:\n port: 8080\n timeout: 60 # Prefer the newer/safer value\n max_connections: 100\n enable_https: true\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Include all configuration keys from both sides\n- When same key has different values, choose based on:\n - Newer value (if timestamp available)\n - Safer/more conservative value\n - Production-ready value\n - Document the choice in commit message\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Merging all config keys and choosing incoming value for 'timeout' as it's more recent.\"\n\n**When to ask the user**: If conflicting values have significant implications (e.g., security settings, API endpoints), present options:\n```\nConfig conflict in config.yaml for key 'timeout':\n\n**Option 1**: Keep current value (30 seconds)\n**Option 2**: Keep incoming value (60 seconds)\n**Option 3**: Provide a different value\n\nPlease select an option.\n```\n\n## Code Logic Conflicts\n\nWhen both branches modify the same function, carefully analyze the intent.\n\n### Pattern: Sequential Changes\n\nIf changes are independent and can coexist:\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nfn process(data: &str) -> Result {\n let cleaned = data.trim();\n validate(cleaned)?;\n Ok(cleaned.to_uppercase())\n}\n=======\nfn process(data: &str) -> Result {\n let cleaned = data.trim();\n if cleaned.is_empty() {\n return Err(Error::EmptyInput);\n }\n Ok(cleaned.to_uppercase())\n}\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:** Combine both validations:\n\n```\nfn process(data: &str) -> Result {\n let cleaned = data.trim();\n if cleaned.is_empty() {\n return Err(Error::EmptyInput);\n }\n validate(cleaned)?;\n Ok(cleaned.to_uppercase())\n}\n```\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging both validations as they check different conditions (emptiness and validation).\"\n\n### Pattern: Conflicting Logic\n\nIf changes represent different approaches:\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price * (1.0 + item.tax_rate)\n}\n=======\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price + item.tax_amount\n}\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:** Analyze which approach is correct:\n- Review PR/commit messages for context\n- Check which calculation matches business requirements\n- Consider running tests with both approaches\n- Choose one and document why in commit message\n\n**When to ask the user**: Present this as options when the correct approach isn't clear:\n\n```\nCode logic conflict in calculate_price function:\n\n<<<<<<< HEAD (Current Branch)\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price * (1.0 + item.tax_rate)\n}\n=======\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price + item.tax_amount\n}\n>>>>>>> feature-branch (Incoming Branch)\n\nThese represent different calculation methods:\n\n**Option 1**: Keep current branch -

Check if file was renamed: `git log --follow --diff-filter=R -- `\n2. Apply modifications to the new location\n3. Remove the old file\n\n### Pattern: File Legitimately Deleted\n\nIf file deletion was intentional (feature removed, refactored):\n\n1. Review the modifications from the other branch\n2. Determine if any changes are still relevant\n3. If yes, apply to the appropriate new location\n4.

Use when the user asks to fix, resolve, or address FIXME comments, or when running the \"fixme\" command.

Run the discovery script\n\nExecute the script from the repository root to collect all FIXMEs with context:\n\n```\nbash .forge/skills/resolve-fixme/scripts/find-fixme.sh [PATH]\n```\n\n- `PATH` is optional; omit it to search the entire working directory.\n- The script prints each FIXME with **2 lines of context before** and **5 lines after**, along with the exact file path and line number.\n- Skips `.git/`, `target/`, `node_modules/`, and `vendor/`.\n- Requires either `rg` (ripgrep) or `grep` + `python3`.\n\n### 2. Expand each FIXME into its full instruction\n\nDo not rely on the discovery output alone.\n\nFor every hit:\n\n1. Open the file and read around the reported line.\n2.

The line containing `FIXME` is often only the beginning.\n- The real instruction may continue on following comment lines and may contain the actual implementation details.\n- Do not interpret or edit a FIXME until you have read the full block.\n\nFor each expanded FIXME, capture:\n\n- file path\n- start line and end line of the full comment block\n- a short summary of what that FIXME is asking for\n\n### 3. Consolidate related FIXMEs across files\n\nBefore editing code, review **all** expanded FIXMEs together.\n\nMany FIXMEs describe different facets of the same underlying task across multiple files. For example:\n\n- one file may describe a domain type that needs to be introduced\n- another may describe a parameter that should disappear once that type exists\n- another may describe a service, repo, or UI update needed to complete the same refactor\n\nGroup such FIXMEs into a single implementation task.\n\nWhen grouping, look for:\n\n- shared vocabulary\n- references to the same type, service, repo, parameter, or feature\n- comments that clearly describe prerequisite and follow-up changes in different files\n- comments that only make sense when read together\n\nFor each group, produce one consolidated understanding of the task:\n\n- all files and line ranges involved\n- the complete implementation required across the group\n- the order in which the changes should be made\n\nDo not resolve grouped FIXMEs one file at a time in isolation. Resolve the whole task consistently.\n\n### 4. Implement every FIXME completely\n\nEvery FIXME must be resolved. There is no skip path.\n\nWork through each grouped task until the underlying implementation is complete:\n\n1. Read any additional files needed to understand the design.\n2. Create or modify the required code, types, services, repos, tests, configs, or templates.\n3. Propagate the change through every affected file in the group.\n4. Remove each FIXME comment **only after** the work it describes has actually been implemented.\n\n> **Critical rule:** Never delete or rewrite a FIXME comment unless the underlying implementation is finished. The comment is a record of required work. Removing it before completing that work is a failure.\n\nIf the FIXME implies a larger refactor, do the refactor. If it requires creating new supporting code, create it. Do not stop at the first local change if the comment clearly implies additional follow-through elsewhere.\n\n### 5. Verify\n\nAfter resolving all FIXMEs:\n\n1. Run the project's standard verification step:\n\n```sh\ncargo insta test --accept\n```\n\n2. Re-run the discovery script:\n\n```sh\nbash .forge/skills/resolve-fixme/scripts/find-fixme.sh [PATH]\n```\n\n3. Confirm that no FIXME comments remain in the targeted scope.\n\n## Notes\n\n- Prefer targeted fixes, but do not under-scope the work when multiple FIXMEs describe one larger task.\n- Read broadly before editing when the intent is ambiguous.\n- Consistency matters more than locality: grouped FIXMEs should lead to one coherent implementation.\n- The job is not to clean up comments. The job is to complete the implementation those comments are pointing at.\n",".forge/skills/test-reasoning/SKILL.md":"---\nname: test-reasoning\ndescription: Validate that reasoning parameters are correctly serialized and sent to provider APIs.

Fetches the release from GitHub, retrieves every linked PR's title and description, then synthesizes all changes into a polished, user-facing release note with an enthusiastic tone. Use when the user asks to write, generate, or create release notes for a version (e.g. \"write release notes for v1.32.0\", \"generate release notes for the latest release\", \"create changelog for v2.0\").\n---\n\n# Write Release Notes\n\nGenerate clear, informative, and enthusiastic release notes by pulling live data from GitHub and synthesizing every PR into a cohesive narrative.\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 1. Fetch Release Data\n\nRun the bundled script to pull the release metadata and all linked PR details in one shot:\n\n```bash\nbash .forge/skills/write-release-notes/scripts/fetch-release-data.sh [owner/repo]\n```\n\n- ``: The release tag (e.g. `v1.32.0`)\n- `[owner/repo]`: Optional.

Categorize Changes\n\nGroup PRs by their conventional commit prefix or label:\n\n| Category | Prefixes / Labels |\n|---|---|\n| Features | `feat`, `type: feature` |\n| Bug Fixes | `fix`, `type: fix` |\n| Performance | `perf` |\n| Refactors | `refactor` |\n| Maintenance | `chore`, `docs`, `ci`, `build`, `deps` |\n\nDependency bumps (e.g. Dependabot PRs) go into Maintenance. Skip PRs with `error: \"not found\"`.\n\n### 3. Write the Release Notes\n\nProduce a Markdown document with the following structure. Keep the tone **informative and enthusiastic** — explain what changed and why it matters, without resorting to marketing fluff.\n\n```markdown\n# [Product Name] [Version] — [Descriptive Tagline]\n\n> One-sentence summary of what this release focuses on.\n\n## What's New\n\n[2-4 sentence narrative covering the biggest features and fixes. \nDescribe what changed and what users can now do.

Tone & Style Guidelines\n\n- **Lead with what changed**: \"You can now...\" or \"Forge now...\" beats \"We added...\"\n- **Be specific**: Name the feature and describe what it does, not just the category\n- **Be informative, not marketty**: Avoid vague adjectives like \"seamless\", \"smarter\", \"blazing\", \"powerful\", \"rock-solid\". Instead, state the concrete fact (e.g. \"editor no longer spawns a git process on every keystroke\" beats \"blazing-fast editor\")\n- **Enthusiasm through substance**: Let the actual improvement speak for itself. Use active, direct language.\n- **Short paragraphs**: Max 3 sentences per block\n- **Skip internal jargon**: Translate crate names and internal concepts into plain language\n- **Celebrate contributors**: Name them by handle\n- **Tagline formula**: `[Version] — [Factual Theme Description]` (e.g. \"v1.32.0 — Terminal Context, File Drop Support, Windows Performance\")\n- **No implementation details**: Do not mention internal module names, struct names, function names, crate names, or how something was implemented. Focus purely on what the user experiences or gains.\n- **No PR/issue references**: Do not include PR numbers, issue numbers, or links to GitHub PRs/issues in the release notes. Focus on the changes themselves, not their tracking identifiers.\n\n### 5. Contributors Filter\n\nOnly include **external contributors** in the Contributors section — exclude the core team:\n- `@tusharmath`\n- `@amitksingh1490`\n- `@laststylebender14`\n- Bots (e.g. `@dependabot`)\n\nIf no external contributors exist, omit the Contributors section entirely.\n\n### 6. Validate Length\n\nAfter writing the release notes, run the bundled validation script to confirm the output is under 2000 characters:\n\n```bash\necho \"\" | bash .forge/skills/write-release-notes/scripts/validate-release-notes.sh\n```\n\nIf it prints `FAIL`, trim the draft and re-run until it prints `PASS`:\n- Remove the Under the Hood section first\n- Consolidate Bug Fixes into a shorter bullet list\n- Shorten individual PR descriptions to one tight sentence\n- Remove the least impactful Highlights entries\n\n### 7. Output\n\nPrint the final release notes directly in the chat. Do not write to a file unless the user explicitly asks.\n\n## Notes\n\n- The script handles ANSI color codes injected by `gh` CLI automatically.\n- PRs not found (closed without merge, private, etc.) are silently skipped.\n- If the release has no linked PRs in its body, fall back to listing commits between tags:\n ```bash\n gh api repos///compare/... --jq '.commits[].commit.message'\n ```\n","AGENTS.md":"# Agent Guidelines\n\nThis document contains guidelines and best practices for AI agents working with this codebase.\n\n## Error Management\n\n- Use `anyhow::Result` for error handling in services and repositories.\n- Create domain errors using `thiserror`.\n- Never implement `From` for converting domain errors, manually convert them\n\n## Writing Tests\n\n- All tests should be written in three discrete steps:\n\n ```rust,ignore\n use pretty_assertions::assert_eq; // Always use pretty assertions\n\n fn test_foo() {\n let setup = ...; // Instantiate a fixture or setup for the test\n let actual = ...; // Execute the fixture to create an output\n let expected = ...; // Define a hand written expected result\n assert_eq!(actual, expected); // Assert that the actual result matches the expected result\n }\n ```\n\n- Use `pretty_assertions` for better error messages.\n\n- Use fixtures to create test data.\n\n- Use `assert_eq!` for equality checks.\n\n- Use `assert!(...)` for boolean checks.\n\n- Use unwraps in test functions and anyhow::Result in fixtures.\n\n- Keep the boilerplate to a minimum.\n\n- Use words like `fixture`, `actual` and `expected` in test functions.\n\n- Fixtures should be generic and reusable.\n\n- Test should always be written in the same file as the source code.\n\n- Use `new`, Default and derive_setters::Setters to create `actual`, `expected` and specially `fixtures`. For example:\n\n **Good:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n User::default().age(12).is_happy(true).name(\"John\")\n User::new(\"Job\").age(12).is_happy()\n User::test() // Special test constructor\n ```\n\n **Bad:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n User {name: \"John\".to_string(), is_happy: true, age: 12}\n User::with_name(\"Job\") // Bad name, should stick to User::new() or User::test()\n ```\n\n- Use `unwrap()` unless the error information is useful. Use `expect` instead of `panic!` when error message is useful. For example:\n\n **Good:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n users.first().expect(\"List should not be empty\")\n ```\n\n **Bad:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n if let Some(user) = users.first() {\n // ...\n } else {\n panic!(\"List should not be empty\")\n }\n ```\n\n- Prefer using `assert_eq` on full objects instead of asserting each field:\n\n **Good:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n assert_eq!(actual, expected);\n ```\n\n **Bad:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n assert_eq!(actual.a, expected.a);\n assert_eq!(actual.b, expected.b);\n ```\n\n## Verification\n\nAlways verify changes by running tests and linting the codebase\n\n1. Run crate specific tests to ensure they pass.\n\n ```\n cargo insta test --accept\n ```\n\n2. **Build Guidelines**:\n - **NEVER** run `cargo build --release` unless absolutely necessary (e.g., performance testing, creating binaries for distribution)\n - For verification, use `cargo check` (fastest), `cargo insta test`, or `cargo build` (debug mode)\n - Release builds take significantly longer and are rarely needed for development verification\n\n## Writing Domain Types\n\n- Use `derive_setters` to derive setters and use the `strip_option` and the `into` attributes on the struct types.\n\n## Documentation\n\n- **Always** write Rust docs (`///`) for all public methods, functions, structs, enums, and traits.\n- Document parameters with `# Arguments` and errors with `# Errors` sections when applicable.\n- **Do not include code examples** - docs are for LLMs, not humans. Focus on clear, concise functionality descriptions.\n\n## Refactoring\n\n- If asked to fix failing tests, always confirm whether to update the implementation or the tests.\n\n## Git Operations\n\n- Safely assume git is pre-installed\n- Safely assume github cli (gh) is pre-installed\n- Always use `Co-Authored-By: ForgeCode ` for git commits and Github comments\n\n## Service Implementation Guidelines\n\nServices should follow clean architecture principles and maintain clear separation of concerns:\n\n### Core Principles\n\n- **No service-to-service dependencies**: Services should never depend on other services directly\n- **Infrastructure dependency**: Services should depend only on infrastructure abstractions when needed\n- **Single type parameter**: Services should take at most one generic type parameter for infrastructure\n- **No trait objects**: Avoid `Box` - use concrete types and generics instead\n- **Constructor pattern**: Implement `new()` without type bounds - apply bounds only on methods that need them\n- **Compose dependencies**: Use the `+` operator to combine multiple infrastructure traits into a single bound\n- **Arc for infrastructure**: Store infrastructure as `Arc` for cheap cloning and shared ownership\n- **Tuple struct pattern**: For simple services with single dependency, use tuple structs `struct Service(Arc)`\n\n### Examples\n\n#### Simple Service (No Infrastructure)\n\n```rust,ignore\npub struct UserValidationService;\n\nimpl UserValidationService {\n pub fn new() -> Self { ... }\n\n pub fn validate_email(&self, email: &str) -> Result<()> {\n // Validation logic here\n ...\n }\n\n pub fn validate_age(&self, age: u32) -> Result<()> {\n // Age validation logic here\n ...\n }\n}\n```\n\n#### Service with Infrastructure Dependency\n\n```rust,ignore\n// Infrastructure trait (defined in infrastructure layer)\npub trait UserRepository {\n fn find_by_email(&self, email: &str) -> Result>;\n fn save(&self, user: &User) -> Result<()>;\n}\n\n// Service with single generic parameter using Arc\npub struct UserService {\n repository: Arc,\n}\n\nimpl UserService {\n // Constructor without type bounds, takes Arc\n pub fn new(repository: Arc) -> Self { ... }\n}\n\nimpl UserService {\n // Business logic methods have type bounds where needed\n pub fn create_user(&self, email: &str, name: &str) -> Result { ... }\n pub fn find_user(&self, email: &str) -> Result> { ... }\n}\n```\n\n#### Tuple Struct Pattern for Simple Services\n\n```rust,ignore\n// Infrastructure traits\npub trait FileReader {\n async fn read_file(&self, path: &Path) -> Result;\n}\n\npub trait Environment {\n fn max_file_size(&self) -> u64;\n}\n\n// Tuple struct for simple single dependency service\npub struct FileService(Arc);\n\nimpl FileService {\n // Constructor without bounds\n pub fn new(infra: Arc) -> Self { ... }\n}\n\nimpl FileService {\n // Business logic methods with composed trait bounds\n pub async fn read_with_validation(&self, path: &Path) -> Result { ... }\n}\n```\n\n### Anti-patterns to Avoid\n\n```rust,ignore\n// BAD: Service depending on another service\npub struct BadUserService {\n repository: R,\n email_service: E, // Don't do this!\n}\n\n// BAD: Using trait objects\npub struct BadUserService {\n repository: Box, // Avoid Box\n}\n\n// BAD: Multiple infrastructure dependencies with separate type parameters\npub struct BadUserService {\n repository: R,\n cache: C,\n logger: L, // Too many generic parameters - hard to use and test\n}\n\nimpl BadUserService {\n // BAD: Constructor with type bounds makes it hard to use\n pub fn new(repository: R, cache: C, logger: L) -> Self { ... }\n}\n\n// BAD: Usage becomes cumbersome\nlet service = BadUserService::::new(...);\n```\n","benchmarks/evals/sem_search/README.md":"# Semantic Search Tool Selection Evaluation\n\nThis evaluation validates that the Forge agent correctly identifies and uses the `sem_search` (Codebase Search) tool when presented with conceptual, functionality-based code location queries.\n\n## What We're Testing\n\nThe agent's ability to recognize when a user query requires semantic understanding rather than exact pattern matching. Specifically, we test whether the agent:\n\n1. **Correctly invokes `sem_search`** for conceptual queries about code functionality\n2. **Understands the distinction** between semantic search (conceptual) vs regex search (exact patterns)\n3. **Recognizes appropriate use cases** such as:\n - Finding code by its purpose/behavior (e.g., \"retry logic with exponential backoff\")\n - Locating implementation patterns (e.g., \"authentication token validation\")\n - Discovering architectural components (e.g., \"message transformation between AI providers\")\n - Identifying system behaviors (e.g., \"rate limiting for API requests\")\n\n## Test Scenarios\n\nThe evaluation uses real-world queries that describe:\n- **Message transformation** between different AI provider formats\n- **Retry mechanisms** with exponential backoff patterns \n- **Authentication flows** including token validation and refresh\n- **Error handling** for network failures\n- **Caching strategies** for API responses\n- **Streaming response** handling from LLM APIs\n- **File validation** including upload and size checks\n- **Rate limiting** implementations for API requests\n- **Tool registration** and availability management\n- **Context management** including conversation history truncation\n\n## Expected Behavior\n\nFor all test queries, the agent should invoke the `sem_search` tool (displayed as \"Codebase Search\" in logs) rather than falling back to regex-based `search` tool, demonstrating understanding that these are conceptual queries requiring semantic code comprehension.\n","benchmarks/evals/semantic_search_quality/README.md":"# Semantic Search Quality Evaluation\n\nThis evaluation measures the quality of semantic search queries generated by Forge using an LLM-as-judge approach.\n\n## Quick Start\n\n### Test Your Queries Manually\n\nBefore running the full eval, test your queries to get immediate feedback:\n\n```bash\n# Interactive mode\nnpx tsx benchmarks/evals/semantic_search_quality/test_queries.ts\n\n# Non-interactive mode\nnpx tsx benchmarks/evals/semantic_search_quality/test_queries.ts \\\n \"retry mechanism with exponential backoff\" \\\n \"I need to find the implementation code for retry logic\"\n```\n\nThe query tester provides:\n- Detailed scores for embedding and reranking queries\n- Specific strengths and weaknesses\n- Actionable suggestions for improvement\n- Differentiation analysis\n\n### Run the Full Evaluation\n\n```bash\n# Run the entire semantic search quality eval\nnpm run eval semantic_search_quality\n\n# Run with specific parallelism\nnpm run eval semantic_search_quality -- --parallelism 10\n\n# Run with specific model\nnpm run eval semantic_search_quality -- --model \"anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5\"\n```\n\n## Purpose\n\nThe semantic search feature uses two types of queries:\n1. **Embedding Query (`query`)**: Converted to vector embeddings for semantic similarity search\n2. **Reranking Query (`use_case`)**: Used by the reranker to filter results based on intent\n\nThis eval verifies that:\n- Queries are well-formed and contain sufficient context\n- The two queries are different and serve distinct purposes\n- Results match the user's intent (implementation vs docs vs tests, etc.)\n- Correct file types are returned based on intent\n- Unwanted file types are avoided\n\n## How It Works\n\n### 1. Test Execution\nThe eval runs various semantic search tasks covering different intents:\n- **Implementation**: Find actual code, not documentation\n- **Flow Understanding**: Understand how systems work\n- **Architecture**: Understand structural design\n- **Tests**: Find test examples and fixtures\n- **Documentation**: Find docs and guides\n- **Debugging**: Investigate issues\n- **Modification**: Find code to modify\n- **Configuration**: Find config files and schemas\n\n### 2. LLM Judge Evaluation\nAfter each task, an LLM judge (Gemini 3 Pro) evaluates:\n\n#### Query Quality (40 points)\n- **Embedding Query (15pts)**: Domain terms, technical context, behavior description\n- **Reranking Query (15pts)**: Intent clarity, context about WHY, specificity\n- **Query Differentiation (10pts)**: Queries serve different purposes\n\n#### Result Relevance (60 points)\n- **Intent Matching (25pts)**: Results match the stated intent\n- **File Type Accuracy (20pts)**: Correct file types returned\n- **Avoidance Compliance (15pts)**: Unwanted file types avoided\n\n#### Pass Criteria\n- Total score >= 70/100\n- No critical issues (e.g., identical queries, severe intent mismatch)\n\n### 3. Structured Output\nThe judge uses structured output (Zod schema) to provide:\n- Detailed scores for each dimension\n- Specific feedback on what's good/bad\n- List of critical issues\n- Overall pass/fail determination\n\n## Environment Variables\n\nRequired:\n- `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`: Path to Google Cloud service account JSON credentials file\n\nOr authenticate using `gcloud auth application-default login`.\n\nThe LLM judge uses Vertex AI to run Gemini 3 Pro. It supports Google's Application Default Credentials through the `google-auth-library`. The most common authentication method is to set the path to a JSON credentials file in the `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` environment variable.\n\n## Test Cases\n\nThe eval includes diverse test cases:\n\n### Implementation Queries\n```yaml\n- task: \"Find the retry mechanism with exponential backoff implementation\"\n intent: \"implementation\"\n expected_file_types: \"rust,typescript,javascript\"\n should_avoid: \"markdown,txt,documentation\"\n```\n\n### Flow Understanding\n```yaml\n- task: \"How does the authentication flow work from request to response?\"\n intent: \"flow_understanding\"\n expected_file_types: \"rust,typescript\"\n should_avoid: \"test,markdown\"\n```\n\n### Documentation\n```yaml\n- task: \"Find documentation on how to configure semantic search\"\n intent: \"documentation\"\n expected_file_types: \"markdown,txt\"\n should_avoid: \"rust,typescript,javascript\"\n```\n\n## Interpreting Results\n\n### High Scores (>80)\nQueries are excellent - domain-specific, well-differentiated, and would return highly relevant results.\n\n### Medium Scores (60-80)\nQueries are functional but have room for improvement. Check feedback for specific suggestions.\n\n### Low Scores (<60)\nQueries have significant issues:\n- Too generic or vague\n- Embedding and reranking queries too similar\n- Intent mismatch\n- Would return wrong file types\n\n## Common Issues\n\n1. **Identical Queries**: Embedding and reranking queries are the same or too similar\n - **Fix**: Make reranking query focus on intent, not just rephrasing\n\n2. **Generic Queries**: Lack domain-specific context\n - **Fix**: Add technical terms, describe behavior, include framework names\n\n3. **Intent Mismatch**: Queries would return docs when implementation is needed\n - **Fix**: Be explicit in reranking query about what type of code is needed\n\n4. **Poor Differentiation**: Both queries try to do the same thing\n - **Fix**: Embedding = WHAT code does, Reranking = WHY you need it\n\n## Architecture\n\n```\ntask.yml\n├── Runs Forge with semantic search task\n├── Captures debug output (context.json)\n└── Validates with llm_judge.ts\n ├── Extracts sem_search calls\n ├── Calls Gemini 3 Pro with structured output\n └── Returns evaluation with scores\n```\n\n## Extending the Eval\n\nTo add new test cases:\n\n1. Add to `task.yml` under `sources`:\n```yaml\n- task: \"Your task description\"\n intent: \"implementation|flow_understanding|tests|documentation|debugging|modification|architecture|configuration\"\n expected_file_types: \"comma,separated,extensions\"\n should_avoid: \"comma,separated,extensions\"\n```\n\n2.

Challenge each piece of information: \"Do you really need this explanation?\" and \"Does this paragraph justify its token cost?\"\n\nPrefer concise examples over verbose explanations.\n\n### Set Appropriate Degrees of Freedom\n\nMatch the level of specificity to the task's fragility and variability:\n\n**High freedom (text-based instructions)**: Use when multiple approaches are valid, decisions depend on context, or heuristics guide the approach.\n\n**Medium freedom (pseudocode or scripts with parameters)**: Use when a preferred pattern exists, some variation is acceptable, or configuration affects behavior.\n\n**Low freedom (specific scripts, few parameters)**: Use when operations are fragile and error-prone, consistency is critical, or a specific sequence must be followed.\n\nThink of yourself as exploring a path: a narrow bridge with cliffs needs specific guardrails (low freedom), while an open field allows many routes (high freedom).\n\n### Anatomy of a Skill\n\nEvery skill consists of a required SKILL.md file and optional bundled resources:\n\n```\nskill-name/\n├── SKILL.md (required)\n│ ├── YAML frontmatter metadata (required)\n│ │ ├── name: (required)\n│ │ └── description: (required)\n│ └── Markdown instructions (required)\n└── Bundled Resources (optional)\n ├── scripts/ - Executable code (Python/Bash/etc.)\n ├── references/ - Documentation intended to be loaded into context as needed\n └── assets/ - Files used in output (templates, icons, fonts, etc.)\n```\n\n#### SKILL.md (required)\n\nEvery SKILL.md consists of:\n\n- **Frontmatter** (YAML): Contains `name` and `description` fields. These are the only fields you read to determine when the skill gets used, thus it is very important to be clear and comprehensive in describing what the skill is, and when it should be used.\n- **Body** (Markdown): Instructions and guidance for using the skill. Only loaded AFTER the skill triggers (if at all).\n\n#### Bundled Resources (optional)\n\n##### Scripts (`scripts/`)\n\nExecutable code for tasks that require deterministic reliability or are repeatedly rewritten.\n\n- **When to include**: When the same code is being rewritten repeatedly or deterministic reliability is needed\n- **Example**: `scripts/rotate_pdf.sh` for PDF rotation tasks\n- **Benefits**: Token efficient, deterministic, may be executed without loading into context\n- **Note**: Scripts may still need to be read by you for patching or environment-specific adjustments\n\n##### References (`references/`)\n\nDocumentation and reference material intended to be loaded as needed into context to inform your process and thinking.\n\n- **When to include**: For documentation that you should reference while working\n- **Examples**: `references/finance.md` for financial schemas, `references/mnda.md` for company NDA template, `references/policies.md` for company policies, `references/api_docs.md` for API specifications\n- **Use cases**: Database schemas, API documentation, domain knowledge, company policies, detailed workflow guides\n- **Benefits**: Keeps SKILL.md lean, loaded only when you determine it's needed\n- **Best practice**: If files are large (>10k words), include grep search patterns in SKILL.md\n- **Avoid duplication**: Information should live in either SKILL.md or references files, not both. Prefer references files for detailed information unless it's truly core to the skill—this keeps SKILL.md lean while making information discoverable without hogging the context window. Keep only essential procedural instructions and workflow guidance in SKILL.md; move detailed reference material, schemas, and examples to references files.\n\n##### Assets (`assets/`)\n\nFiles not intended to be loaded into context, but rather used within the output you produce.\n\n- **When to include**: When the skill needs files that will be used in the final output\n- **Examples**: `assets/logo.png` for brand assets, `assets/slides.pptx` for PowerPoint templates, `assets/frontend-template/` for HTML/React boilerplate, `assets/font.ttf` for typography\n- **Use cases**: Templates, images, icons, boilerplate code, fonts, sample documents that get copied or modified\n- **Benefits**: Separates output resources from documentation, enables you to use files without loading them into context\n\n#### What to Not Include in a Skill\n\nA skill should only contain essential files that directly support its functionality. Do NOT create extraneous documentation or auxiliary files, including:\n\n- README.md\n- INSTALLATION_GUIDE.md\n- QUICK_REFERENCE.md\n- CHANGELOG.md\n- etc.\n\nThe skill should only contain the information needed for an AI agent to do the job at hand. It should not contain auxilary context about the process that went into creating it, setup and testing procedures, user-facing documentation, etc. Creating additional documentation files just adds clutter and confusion.\n\n### Progressive Disclosure Design Principle\n\nSkills use a three-level loading system to manage context efficiently:\n\n1. **Metadata (name + description)** - Always in context (~100 words)\n2. **SKILL.md body** - When skill triggers (<5k words)\n3. **Bundled resources** - As needed by Claude (Unlimited because scripts can be executed without reading into context window)\n\n#### Progressive Disclosure Patterns\n\nKeep SKILL.md body to the essentials and under 500 lines to minimize context bloat. Split content into separate files when approaching this limit. When splitting out content into other files, it is very important to reference them from SKILL.md and describe clearly when to read them, to ensure the reader of the skill knows they exist and when to use them.\n\n**Key principle:** When a skill supports multiple variations, frameworks, or options, keep only the core workflow and selection guidance in SKILL.md. Move variant-specific details (patterns, examples, configuration) into separate reference files.\n\n**Pattern 1: High-level guide with references**\n\n```markdown\n# PDF Processing\n\n## Quick start\n\nExtract text with pdfplumber:\n[code example]\n\n## Advanced features\n\n- **Form filling**: See [FORMS.md](FORMS.md) for complete guide\n- **API reference**: See [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md) for all methods\n- **Examples**: See [EXAMPLES.md](EXAMPLES.md) for common patterns\n```\n\nYou load FORMS.md, REFERENCE.md, or EXAMPLES.md only when needed.\n\n**Pattern 2: Domain-specific organization**\n\nFor Skills with multiple domains, organize content by domain to avoid loading irrelevant context:\n\n```\nbigquery-skill/\n├── SKILL.md (overview and navigation)\n└── reference/\n ├── finance.md (revenue, billing metrics)\n ├── sales.md (opportunities, pipeline)\n ├── product.md (API usage, features)\n └── marketing.md (campaigns, attribution)\n```\n\nWhen a user asks about sales metrics, you only read sales.md.\n\nSimilarly, for skills supporting multiple frameworks or variants, organize by variant:\n\n```\ncloud-deploy/\n├── SKILL.md (workflow + provider selection)\n└── references/\n ├── aws.md (AWS deployment patterns)\n ├── gcp.md (GCP deployment patterns)\n └── azure.md (Azure deployment patterns)\n```\n\nWhen the user chooses AWS, you only read aws.md.\n\n**Pattern 3: Conditional details**\n\nShow basic content, link to advanced content:\n\n```markdown\n# DOCX Processing\n\n## Creating documents\n\nUse docx-js for new documents. See [DOCX-JS.md](DOCX-JS.md).\n\n## Editing documents\n\nFor simple edits, modify the XML directly.\n\n**For tracked changes**: See [REDLINING.md](REDLINING.md)\n**For OOXML details**: See [OOXML.md](OOXML.md)\n```\n\nYou read REDLINING.md or OOXML.md only when the user needs those features.\n\n**Important guidelines:**\n\n- **Avoid deeply nested references** - Keep references one level deep from SKILL.md. All reference files should link directly from SKILL.md.\n- **Structure longer reference files** - For files longer than 100 lines, include a table of contents at the top so you can see the full scope when previewing.\n\n## Skill Creation Process\n\nSkill creation involves these steps:\n\n1. Understand the skill with concrete examples\n2. Plan reusable skill contents (scripts, references, assets)\n3. Initialize the skill\n4. Edit the skill (implement resources and write SKILL.md)\n5. Iterate based on real usage\n\nFollow these steps in order, skipping only if there is a clear reason why they are not applicable.\n\n### Step 1: Understanding the Skill with Concrete Examples\n\nSkip this step only when the skill's usage patterns are already clearly understood. It remains valuable even when working with an existing skill.\n\nTo create an effective skill, clearly understand concrete examples of how the skill will be used. This understanding can come from either direct user examples or generated examples that are validated with user feedback.\n\nFor example, when building an edit-image skill, relevant questions include:\n\n- \"What functionality should the edit-image skill support? Editing, rotating, anything else?\"\n- \"Can you give some examples of how this skill would be used?\"\n- \"I can imagine users asking for things like 'Remove the red-eye from this image' or 'Rotate this image'. Are there other ways you imagine this skill being used?\"\n- \"What would a user say that should trigger this skill?\"\n\nTo avoid overwhelming users, avoid asking too many questions in a single message. Start with the most important questions and follow up as needed for better effectiveness.\n\nConclude this step when there is a clear sense of the functionality the skill should support.\n\n### Step 2: Planning the Reusable Skill Contents\n\nTo turn concrete examples into an effective skill, analyze each example by:\n\n1. Considering how to execute on the example from scratch\n2. Identifying what scripts, references, and assets would be helpful when executing these workflows repeatedly\n\nExample: When building an `edit-pdf` skill to handle queries like \"Help me rotate this PDF,\" the analysis shows:\n\n1. Rotating a PDF requires re-writing the same code each time\n2. A `scripts/rotate_pdf.sh` script would be helpful to store in the skill\n\nExample: When designing a `build-frontend-webapp` skill for queries like \"Build me a todo app\" or \"Build me a dashboard to track my steps,\" the analysis shows:\n\n1. Writing a frontend webapp requires the same boilerplate HTML/React each time\n2. An `assets/hello-world/` template containing the boilerplate HTML/React project files would be helpful to store in the skill\n\nExample: When building a `query-bigquery` skill to handle queries like \"How many users have logged in today?\" the analysis shows:\n\n1. Querying BigQuery requires re-discovering the table schemas and relationships each time\n2. A `references/schema.md` file documenting the table schemas would be helpful to store in the skill\n\nTo establish the skill's contents, analyze each concrete example to create a list of the reusable resources to include: scripts, references, and assets.\n\n### Step 3: Initializing the Skill\n\nAt this point, it is time to actually create the skill.\n\nSkip this step only if the skill being developed already exists, and iteration or packaging is needed. In this case, continue to the next step.\n\n#### Skill Naming Convention\n\n**Always use verb-based names** for skills to clearly communicate what action the skill performs:\n\n- ✅ Good: `execute-plan`, `create-report`, `analyze-logs`, `deploy-app`\n- ❌ Bad: `plan-executor`, `report-creator`, `log-analyzer`, `app-deployer`\n\nVerb-first naming makes it immediately clear what the skill does and follows the imperative/infinitive form used throughout the skill instructions.\n\n#### Skill Location\n\n**Default: Create project-local skills unless the user explicitly requests a global skill.**\n\nWhen creating a new skill from scratch, create it in the project-local skills directory:\n\n- **Project-local (default)**: `{{local_skills_path}}//` - Skills are project-specific and don't affect other projects. This is the safe default for most skills.\n- **Global (only when explicitly requested)**: `{{global_skills_path}}//` - Skills are available across all projects. Only use this location when the user explicitly asks for a global skill or when the skill is truly reusable across all projects.\n\nThe structure should include:\n\n- `SKILL.md` with YAML frontmatter (name, description) and markdown body\n- `scripts/` directory for executable code (e.g., `process.sh`, `validate.sh`)\n- `references/` directory for documentation loaded as needed\n- `assets/` directory for files used in output\n\nExample initialization (default project-local):\n\n```bash\nmkdir -p {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/{scripts,references,assets}\ncat > {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/SKILL.md << 'EOF'\n---\nname: edit-pdf\ndescription: TODO - Describe what this skill does and when to use it\n---\n\n# Edit PDF\n\nTODO - Add skill instructions here\nEOF\n\ncat > {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh << 'EOF'\n#!/bin/bash\n# Rotate PDF using pdftk\npdftk \"$1\" cat 1-endright output \"$2\"\nEOF\n\nchmod +x {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh\n```\n\nIf the user explicitly requests a global skill, use this instead:\n\n```bash\nmkdir -p {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/{scripts,references,assets}\ncat > {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/SKILL.md << 'EOF'\n---\nname: edit-pdf\ndescription: TODO - Describe what this skill does and when to use it\n---\n\n# Edit PDF\n\nTODO - Add skill instructions here\nEOF\n\ncat > {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh << 'EOF'\n#!/bin/bash\n# Rotate PDF using pdftk\npdftk \"$1\" cat 1-endright output \"$2\"\nEOF\n\nchmod +x {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh\n```\n\nAfter initialization, customize the generated files as needed.\n\n### Step 4: Edit the Skill\n\nWhen editing the (newly-generated or existing) skill, remember that the skill is being created for another AI agent instance to use. Include information that would be beneficial and non-obvious. Consider what procedural knowledge, domain-specific details, or reusable assets would help another agent instance execute these tasks more effectively.\n\n#### Learn Proven Design Patterns\n\nConsult these helpful guides based on your skill's needs:\n\n- **Multi-step processes**: See references/workflows.md for sequential workflows and conditional logic\n- **Specific output formats or quality standards**: See references/output-patterns.md for template and example patterns\n\nThese files contain established best practices for effective skill design.\n\n#### Start with Reusable Skill Contents\n\nTo begin implementation, start with the reusable resources identified above: `scripts/`, `references/`, and `assets/` files. Note that this step may require user input. For example, when implementing a `brand-guidelines` skill, the user may need to provide brand assets or templates to store in `assets/`, or documentation to store in `references/`.\n\nAdded scripts must be tested by actually running them to ensure there are no bugs and that the output matches what is expected. If there are many similar scripts, only a representative sample needs to be tested to ensure confidence that they all work while balancing time to completion.\n\nAny example files and directories not needed for the skill should be deleted.\n\n#### Update SKILL.md\n\n**Writing Guidelines:** Always use imperative/infinitive form.\n\n##### Frontmatter\n\nWrite the YAML frontmatter with `name` and `description`:\n\n- `name`: The skill name\n- `description`: This is the primary triggering mechanism for your skill, and helps you understand when to use the skill.\n - Include both what the Skill does and specific triggers/contexts for when to use it.\n - Include all \"when to use\" information here - Not in the body. The body is only loaded after triggering, so \"When to Use This Skill\" sections in the body are not helpful.\n - Example description for a `docx` skill: \"Comprehensive document creation, editing, and analysis with support for tracked changes, comments, formatting preservation, and text extraction. Use when you need to work with professional documents (.docx files) for: (1) Creating new documents, (2) Modifying or editing content, (3) Working with tracked changes, (4) Adding comments, or any other document tasks\"\n\nDo not include any other fields in YAML frontmatter.\n\n##### Body\n\nWrite instructions for using the skill and its bundled resources.\n\n#### Loading the New Skill\n\nOnce the skill is complete, **suggest to the user that they start a new session** to load the newly created skill. Skills are loaded at the beginning of each session, so the new skill will not be available in the current session. Starting a new session ensures the skill is properly registered and available for use.\n\n### Step 5: Iterate\n\nAfter testing the skill, users may request improvements. Often this happens right after using the skill, with fresh context of how the skill performed.\n\n**Iteration workflow:**\n\n1. Use the skill on real tasks\n2. Notice struggles or inefficiencies\n3. Identify how SKILL.md or bundled resources should be updated\n4. Implement changes and test again\n","crates/forge_repo/src/skills/execute-plan/SKILL.md":"---\nname: execute-plan\ndescription: Execute structured task plans with status tracking.

This has been a recurring request in issues #123 and #456.\n\n## Changes\n- Implemented semantic search using vector embeddings\n- Integrated with existing search interface\n- Added support for multiple concurrent queries with result aggregation\n- Configurable search scope (entire codebase or specific directories)\n\n### Key Implementation Details\nUses OpenAI embeddings for code representation and cosine similarity for matching. Index is built incrementally to support large codebases. Search results are reranked based on code context and usage patterns.\n\n## Use Cases\n- Find authentication flow without knowing exact function names\n- Locate retry logic across the codebase\n- Search for \"database connection\" patterns\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Run the search service\nnpm run search:dev\n\n# Test semantic queries\ncurl -X POST http://localhost:3000/search \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d '{\"query\": \"user authentication\"}'\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #123, #456\n- Documentation: /docs/semantic-search.md\n```\n\n**Example 2: Bug Fix**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nFix database connection timeout that caused service to hang indefinitely when database became unavailable.\n\n## Context\nService would hang indefinitely when database became unavailable, requiring manual restart.

This was identified as a performance bottleneck in profiling session #123.\n\n## Changes\n- Implemented streaming image processing using chunked reading\n- Added parallel processing for multiple images\n- Optimized memory allocation with object pooling\n- Added caching for frequently accessed image metadata\n\n### Key Implementation Details\nUses Node.js streams for memory-efficient processing. Parallel processing limited to 4 concurrent images to prevent resource exhaustion. Object pool reduces GC pressure by reusing buffers.\n\n## Use Cases\n- Process large images (>100MB) without OOM errors\n- Batch process thousands of images efficiently\n- Reduced memory footprint allows higher concurrent user load\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Run performance benchmarks\nnpm run benchmark\n\n# Test with large files\nnode tests/performance/large-files.test.js\n\n# Verify memory usage\nnode --inspect tests/memory-usage.js\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #456\n- Performance report: /docs/performance/2024-01-image-processing.md\n```\n\n**Example 4: Refactor**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nRefactor authentication module to use clean architecture patterns, improving testability and reducing coupling.\n\n## Context\nAuthentication module had tight coupling between business logic and infrastructure, making it difficult to test and modify.

Agents are specialized AI assistants with specific capabilities, tools, and behaviors.\n\n## File Location\n\n**CRITICAL**: All agent files must be created in the `/.forge/agents` directory, where `` is the current working directory of your code-forge project.\n\n- **Directory**: `/.forge/agents`\n- **File format**: `{agent-id}.md`\n- **Example**: If your project is at `/home/user/my-project`, agents go in `/home/user/my-project/.forge/agents/`\n\nThis is the only location where forge will discover and load custom agents.\n\n## Agent File Structure\n\nEvery agent file must have:\n\n1. **YAML Frontmatter** (required):\n - `id`: Unique agent identifier\n - `title`: Agent display name\n - `description`: Detailed description of what the agent does\n - `reasoning`: Configuration with `enabled: true/false`\n - `tools`: List of tools the agent can use\n - `user_prompt`: Template for user context\n\n2. **Agent Body** (required):\n - Agent identity and purpose\n - Core principles\n - Capabilities\n - Methodology\n - Best practices\n - Limitations and boundaries\n\n### Example Agent File\n\n```markdown\n---\nid: \"forge\"\ntitle: \"Perform technical development tasks\"\ndescription: \"Hands-on implementation agent that executes software development tasks...\"\nreasoning:\n enabled: true\ntools:\n - sem_search\n - sage\n - fs_search\n - read\n - write\n - undo\n - remove\n - patch\n - shell\n - fetch\n - skill\n - mcp_*\nuser_prompt: |-\n <{{event.name}}>{{event.value}}\n {{current_date}}\n---\n\nYou are Forge, an expert software engineering assistant...\n\n## Core Principles:\n...\n```\n\n### Complete Sample Agent\n\nThis sample demonstrates a complete agent structure:\n\n```markdown\n---\nid: \"sample-agent\"\ntitle: \"Sample agent for demonstration\"\ndescription: \"A sample agent that demonstrates the complete agent file structure with all required fields and common patterns.\"\nreasoning:\n enabled: true\ntools:\n - sem_search\n - read\n - write\n - shell\nuser_prompt: |-\n <{{event.name}}>{{event.value}}\n {{current_date}}\n---\n\nYou are Sample Agent, a demonstration agent that shows how to structure agent files.\n\n## Core Principles:\n\n1. **Principle 1**: Description of the first core principle\n2. **Principle 2**: Description of the second core principle\n3. **Principle 3**: Description of the third core principle\n\n## Capabilities:\n\n### Capability Category 1:\n\n- Description of first capability\n- Description of second capability\n\n### Capability Category 2:\n\n- Description of third capability\n- Description of fourth capability\n\n## Methodology:\n\n### Step 1: First Step\n\nDescription of the first step in the methodology.\n\n### Step 2: Second Step\n\nDescription of the second step in the methodology.\n\n### Step 3: Third Step\n\nDescription of the third step in the methodology.\n\n## Best Practices:\n\n- Best practice 1\n- Best practice 2\n- Best practice 3\n\n## Limitations and Boundaries:\n\nThis agent cannot perform certain tasks. When asked to do so, politely explain the limitations and suggest alternative approaches.\n```\n\n## Creating a New Agent\n\n### Step 1: Determine Agent Purpose\n\nIdentify what the agent should accomplish:\n- What is the agent's primary function?\n- What tasks will it perform?\n- What tools does it need?\n- What are its limitations?\n- How does it differ from existing agents?\n\n### Step 2: Choose Agent ID and Title\n\nUse descriptive IDs and titles:\n- ID: Use lowercase with hyphens for multi-word (e.g., `code-reviewer`, `test-automation`)\n- Title: Use clear, descriptive text (e.g., \"Review code quality\", \"Automate testing\")\n\n### Step 3: Write the Agent File\n\nCreate the file in the `/.forge/agents` directory with the format: `{agent-id}.md`\n\n**IMPORTANT**: The file MUST be in `/.forge/agents` where `` is your current working directory. Agents placed anywhere else will not be discovered by forge.\n\n#### Frontmatter\n\n```yaml\n---\nid: \"your-agent-id\"\ntitle: \"Your Agent Title\"\ndescription: \"Detailed description of what this agent does, its capabilities, and when to use it.\"\nreasoning:\n enabled: true\ntools:\n -

Commands are modular workflows that can be invoked to perform specific tasks.\n\n## File Location\n\n**CRITICAL**: All command files must be created in the `/.forge/commands` directory, where `` is the current working directory of your code-forge project.\n\n- **Directory**: `/.forge/commands`\n- **File format**: `{command-name}.md`\n- **Example**: If your project is at `/home/user/my-project`, commands go in `/home/user/my-project/.forge/commands/`\n\nThis is the only location where forge will discover and load custom commands.\n\n## Command File Structure\n\nEvery command file must have:\n\n1. **YAML Frontmatter** (required):\n - `name`: Command identifier (use hyphens for multi-word names)\n - `description`: What the command does\n\n2. **Command Body** (required):\n - List of steps to execute\n - Special tags for automated workflows\n - Clear instructions for each step\n\n### Example Command File\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: check\ndescription: Checks if the code is ready to be committed\n---\n\n- Run the `lint` and `test` commands and verify if everything is fine.\n cargo +nightly fmt --all; cargo +nightly clippy --fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --workspace\n cargo insta test --accept --unreferenced=delete\n- Fix every issue found in the process\n```\n\n### Complete Sample Command\n\nThis sample demonstrates all three tag types:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: sample-command\ndescription: Sample command demonstrating the command file structure\n---\n\nThis is a sample command that demonstrates the structure of command files.\n\n- First step: Perform an initial action\n echo \"Running linting...\"\n- Second step: Execute tests\n echo \"Running tests...\"\n- Third step: Complete the workflow\n echo \"Workflow complete!\"\n- Final step: Verify everything worked correctly\n```\n\n## Creating a New Command\n\n### Step 1: Determine Command Purpose\n\nIdentify what the command should accomplish:\n\n- What task will it perform?\n- What steps are involved?\n- Are there automated checks or tests needed?\n- What should the user do with the results?\n\n### Step 2: Choose Command Name\n\nUse verb-based names with hyphens for multi-word commands:\n\n- Good: `check`, `fixme`, `pr-description`, `run-tests`\n- Bad: `checker`, `fixing`, `PRdescription`\n\n### Step 3: Write the Command File\n\nCreate the file in the `/.forge/commands` directory with the format: `{command-name}.md`\n\n**IMPORTANT**: The file MUST be in `/.forge/commands` where `` is your current working directory. Commands placed anywhere else will not be discovered by forge.\n\n#### Frontmatter\n\n```yaml\n---\nname: your-command-name\ndescription: Clear, concise description of what this command does\n---\n```\n\n#### Command Body\n\nUse markdown lists for steps. Each step should:\n\n- Start with a clear action verb\n- Be specific and actionable\n- Include context about what to do\n\n## Special Command Tags\n\nUse these tags for automated workflows:\n\n### `` Tag\n\nFor linting/formatting commands:\n\n```markdown\ncargo +nightly fmt --all; cargo +nightly clippy --fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --workspace\n```\n\n### `` Tag\n\nFor testing commands:\n\n```markdown\ncargo insta test --accept --unreferenced=delete\n```\n\n### `` Tag\n\nFor general shell commands (not linting or testing):\n\n```markdown\nrm -rf target/debug\n```\n\n### Using Tags\n\nTags should be placed on their own line after the step description:\n\n```markdown\n- Run linting and testing\n your-lint-command\n your-test-command\n```\n\n## Command Types\n\n### Simple Commands\n\nSingle-step or instruction-only commands:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: fixme\ndescription: Looks for all the fixme comments in the code and attempts to fix them\n---\n\nFind all the FIXME comments in source-code files and attempt to fix them.\n```\n\n### Multi-Step Commands\n\nCommands with multiple sequential steps:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: pr-description\ndescription: Updates the description of the PR\n---\n\n- I have created a Pull Request with all the accepted changes\n- Understand the current PR deeply using the GH CLI and update the PR title and description\n- Make sure the title follows conventional commits standard\n- Top-level summary should contain 2-3 lines about the core functionality improvements\n```\n\n### Automated Workflow Commands\n\nCommands that include automated checks:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: check\ndescription: Checks if the code is ready to be committed\n---\n\n- Run the `lint` and `test` commands and verify if everything is fine.\n cargo +nightly fmt --all; cargo +nightly clippy --fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --workspace\n cargo insta test --accept --unreferenced=delete\n- Fix every issue found in the process\n```\n\n## Command Templates\n\n### Simple Command Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: simple-command\ndescription: Does one specific thing\n---\n\nSingle clear instruction or description.\n```\n\n### Automated Workflow Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: automated-workflow\ndescription: Runs automated checks and performs follow-up actions\n---\n\n- Run automated checks\n your-lint-command\n your-test-command\n- Review and fix any issues found\n- Complete the workflow\n```\n\n### Multi-Step Workflow Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: multi-step-workflow\ndescription: Performs multiple sequential steps\n---\n\n- First step with clear action\n- Second step with context\n- Third step with specific requirements\n- Final step with verification\n```\n\n### Git Workflow Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: git-workflow\ndescription: Performs git operations\n---\n\n- Stage changes\n git add .\n- Run pre-commit checks\n cargo fmt --all\n cargo test\n- Commit with message\n git commit -m \"your commit message\"\n- Push to remote\n git push\n```\n\n## Best Practices\n\n### Naming\n\n- Use lowercase letters\n- Use hyphens to separate words\n- Use verb-based names (imperative form)\n- Keep names short but descriptive\n\n### Descriptions\n\n- Be clear and concise\n- Describe what the command does, not how\n- Include the main purpose and key outcomes\n- Avoid implementation details\n\n### Command Steps\n\n- Use numbered lists for sequential steps\n- Start each step with an action verb\n- Be specific about what to do\n- Include context for complex steps\n- Use present tense\n\n### Special Tags\n\n- Place tags on their own line after the step\n- Only use ``, ``, and `` tags\n- Include complete commands that can be executed\n- Use appropriate flags for your workflow\n\n## Common Patterns\n\n### Git Workflow Commands\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: commit-check\ndescription: Verifies code is ready to commit\n---\n\n- Run linting and tests\n cargo fmt --all; cargo clippy --fix --allow-staged\n cargo test\n- Review and fix any issues\n- Stage all changes\n```\n\n### Documentation Commands\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: update-docs\ndescription: Updates documentation for recent changes\n---\n\n- Review recent code changes\n- Identify functions or modules that need documentation\n- Update inline documentation comments\n- Regenerate any auto-generated docs\n- Verify documentation builds successfully\n```\n\n### Cleanup Commands\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: cleanup\ndescription: Cleans up temporary files and artifacts\n---\n\n- Remove build artifacts\n rm -rf target/debug\n- Remove temporary files\n find . -name \"*.tmp\" -delete\n- Clean up dependency caches if needed\n- Verify the project still builds\n```\n\n### Build and Deploy Commands\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: build-deploy\ndescription: Builds the project and deploys to staging\n---\n\n- Build the project in release mode\n cargo build --release\n- Run integration tests\n cargo test --test integration\n- Build Docker image\n docker build -t myapp:latest .\n- Tag image for staging\n docker tag myapp:latest myapp:staging\n- Push to registry\n docker push myapp:staging\n- Deploy to staging environment\n kubectl set image deployment/myapp myapp=myapp:staging\n```\n\n## Validation Checklist\n\nUse this checklist to verify your command is complete and correct:\n\n### File

`` is current working directory)\n- **Format**: `{command-name}.md`\n- **CRITICAL**: Commands MUST be in this exact location to be discovered by forge\n\n### Valid Tags\n\n- `` - For linting/formatting commands\n- `` - For testing commands\n- `` - For general shell commands\n\n### Naming Rules\n\n- Lowercase only\n- Hyphens for multi-word names\n- Verb-based (imperative form)\n- Keep it short but descriptive\n\n### Step Guidelines\n\n- Start with action verb\n- Be specific\n- Include context for complex steps\n- Use present tense\n- Keep steps focused\n\n### When to Use Tags\n\n- Use `` when running formatters or linters\n- Use `` when running test suites\n- Use `` for other shell commands\n- Place tags on their own line after step description\n- Don't use tags if the step is just an instruction\n\n## Testing Your Command\n\nAfter creating a command, test it by:\n\n1. **Syntax Check**: Verify YAML is valid\n\n ```bash\n # If you have yamllint installed\n yamllint path/to/your-command.md\n ```\n\n2. **Manual Review**: Read through the command\n - Does each step make sense?\n - Is the order logical?\n - Are all commands complete?\n\n3. **Execution Test**: Run the command\n - Does each step execute successfully?\n - Is the output as expected?\n - Are there any errors?\n\n4. **Forge Recognition Test**: Verify the command is recognized by forge\n\n ```bash\n # Option 1: List all commands (custom commands marked as type: custom)\n forge list command\n\n # Option 2: List only custom commands\n forge list cmd\n\n # Option 3: List only custom commands (newer versions)\n forge list command --custom\n ```\n\n - Does your command appear in the list?\n - Is the name correct?\n - Is the description correct?\n\n5. **Edge Cases**: Consider unusual scenarios\n - What happens if a step fails?\n - What if the environment is different?\n - What if files are missing?\n\n## Verification\n\nAfter creating a command:\n\n1. **Verify the file location**: Ensure the file is in `/.forge/commands` directory (CRITICAL - commands anywhere else will not be found)\n2. Check YAML frontmatter is valid (use `---` delimiters)\n3. Ensure the command name matches the filename (without .md)\n4. **Verify the command is recognized by forge**:\n\n ```bash\n # Option 1: List all commands (custom commands marked as type: custom)\n forge list command\n\n # Option 2: List only custom commands\n forge list cmd\n\n # Option 3: List only custom commands (newer versions)\n forge list command --custom\n ```\n\n Your new command should appear in the list with its name and description\n\n5. Test the command to ensure it works as expected\n6. Verify special tags are properly formatted\n\nIf your command doesn't appear in the list, check:\n\n- **File location**: File MUST be in `/.forge/commands` directory (this is the most common issue)\n- Filename matches the `name` field in frontmatter\n- YAML frontmatter is properly formatted with `---` delimiters\n- Both `name` and `description` fields are present\n\n## Getting Help\n\nIf you're unsure about something:\n\n- Review the examples in this skill\n- Follow the validation checklist\n- Test your command before finalizing",".forge/skills/create-github-issue/SKILL.md":"---\nname: create-github-issue\ndescription: Create GitHub issues using GitHub CLI with support for templates, labels, assignees, milestones, and draft issues. Use when the user asks to create a GitHub issue, file a bug report, submit a feature request, or open an issue in a GitHub repository.\n---\n\n# Create GitHub Issue\n\nCreate comprehensive GitHub issues using `gh issue create` by dynamically discovering and adhering to the repository's official issue templates.\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 1. Discover and Select Template\n\n**CRITICAL**: You must use the repository's official templates. Do not assume the structure.\n\n1. **List available templates**:\n ```bash\n ls .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/\n ```\n2. **Select the most appropriate template** based on the issue type (e.g., `bug_report.yml`, `feature_request.yml`).\n3. **Read the selected template** to understand its required fields, structure, and any title prefixes or default labels.\n ```bash\n cat .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/.yml\n ```\n\n### 2. Gather Context\n\nGather relevant information to fulfill the template requirements:\n\n```bash\n# Check current git status for context\ngit status\n\n# View recent commits if related to codebase changes\ngit log --oneline -10\n\n# Check if related issues exist\ngh issue list --search \"keyword\" --limit 10\n```\n\n### 3. Generate Markdown Body\n\n**MANDATORY**: Structure the issue body exactly as defined in the selected YAML template without exception.\n\n1. **Map YAML fields to Markdown**: Convert each field in the template (typically found under `body:`) into a Markdown section.\n2. **Use Headers**: Use the `label` or `id` from the YAML field as an H2 header (e.g., `## Bug Description`).\n3. **Respect Validation**: Ensure all fields marked as `required: true` in the YAML are populated with meaningful content.\n4. **Format Correctly**: Use code blocks (e.g., ` ```shell `, ` ```yaml `) for logs and configurations as suggested by the template's `render` attribute.\n\n### 4. Choose Labels\n\nSelect labels by inspecting `.github/labels.json`.\n\n- **Primary Label**: Always include a `type:` label that matches the issue type.\n- **Additional Labels**: Add relevant `state:`, `work:`, or `priority:` labels if they exist in the configuration.\n- **Constraint**: **Only use labels defined in `.github/labels.json`.**\n\n### 5. Create Title\n\nFollow the template's `title` field if it provides a prefix (e.g., `\"[Bug]: \"`).\n\n- **Be concise**: Keep under 70 characters.\n- **Use imperative mood**: \"Fix authentication timeout\" instead of \"Authentication is timing out\".\n- **Start with action verb**: Fix, Add, Improve, Update, Refactor.\n\n### 6. Execute Issue Creation\n\n**Step 1: Write body to temp file**\nUse the `write` tool to create `.forge/FORGE_ISSUE_BODY.md` with the structured Markdown content.\n\n**Step 2: Create issue**\n```bash\ngh issue create \\\n --title \"[Prefix]: Descriptive Title\" \\\n --body-file .forge/FORGE_ISSUE_BODY.md \\\n --label \"type: , work: \"\n```\n\n**Optional flags**:\n- `--assignee \"username\"`\n- `--milestone \"name\"`\n- `--draft` (For proposals or research)\n\n### 7. Finalize\n\nProvide the user with the generated issue URL and a brief summary of the created issue.\n\n## Guidelines\n\n- **No Exceptions**: You must follow the discovered template's structure exactly. If a template asks for \"Steps to Reproduce\", you must provide them.\n- **Dynamic Discovery**: Always read the files in `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/` and `.github/labels.json` first. Never rely on hardcoded knowledge of templates or labels as they change frequently.\n- **Cleanliness**: Ensure no placeholder text (like \"Describe the bug...\") remains in the final body.\n- **Contextual Awareness**: If the user provides logs or code snippets, ensure they are placed in the correct sections of the template.\n\n## Notes\n\n- **Single Source of Truth**: The files in `.github/` are the authoritative reference for issue structure and categorization.\n- **Tooling**: Use `gh` CLI directly. It is pre-authenticated and ready for use.\n- **Automation**: Do not ask for confirmation before creating the issue if the user's intent is clear.",".forge/skills/create-plan/README.md":"# Create Plan Skill\n\nTools and scripts for creating and validating implementation plans.\n\n## Files\n\n- `SKILL.md` - Main skill instructions for AI agents\n- `validate-plan.sh` - Validates a single plan file\n- `validate-all-plans.sh` - Validates all plans in a directory\n\n## Validation Scripts\n\n### validate-plan.sh\n\nValidates the structure and content of a single plan file.\n\n**Usage:**\n```bash\n./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-plan.sh plans/2025-11-27-example-v1.md\n```\n\n**Checks:**\n- ✓ Filename follows convention: `YYYY-MM-DD-task-name-vN.md`\n - Year is reasonable (2020 to current year + 1)\n - Month is valid (01-12)\n - Day is valid (01-31)\n - Task name is meaningful (not generic like \"test\", \"task\", \"temp\")\n - Task name length is reasonable (5-60 characters)\n - Version number is reasonable (not > 50)\n - No uppercase letters or underscores (use lowercase and hyphens only)\n- ✓ File is in `plans/` directory\n- ✓ All required sections present:\n - Main heading (`# Title`)\n - `## Objective`\n - `## Implementation Plan`\n - `## Verification Criteria`\n - `## Potential Risks and Mitigations`\n - `## Alternative Approaches`\n- ✓ Implementation Plan uses checkbox format (`- [ ]`)\n- ✓ No numbered lists or plain bullets in Implementation Plan\n- ✓ No code blocks (` ``` `) in the plan\n- ✓ No code snippets (detects suspicious patterns)\n- ✓ No placeholder tasks (TODO, TBD, etc.)\n- ✓ **Task quality and density:**\n - Task descriptions are descriptive (≥ 20 characters recommended)\n - Average task length is substantial (30-200 chars recommended)\n - No generic/vague descriptions (\"implement feature\", \"fix bug\", etc.)\n - No duplicate or highly similar tasks\n - Consistent and sequential numbering if tasks are numbered\n- ✓ Verification criteria have content\n- ✓ Risks include mitigations\n- ✓ Reasonable number of tasks (3-20)\n\n**Exit Codes:**\n- `0` - Validation passed\n- `1` - Validation failed (errors found)\n\n### validate-all-plans.sh\n\nValidates all plan files in a directory.\n\n**Usage:**\n```bash\n# Validate all plans in default directory (plans/)\n./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-all-plans.sh\n\n# Validate plans in custom directory\n./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-all-plans.sh path/to/plans\n```\n\n**Exit Codes:**\n- `0` - All plans passed validation\n- `1` - One or more plans failed validation\n\n## Integration\n\n### Pre-commit Hook\n\nAdd to `.git/hooks/pre-commit`:\n\n```bash\n#!/bin/bash\n# Validate plans before committing\n\nif git diff --cached --name-only | grep -q \"^plans/.*\\.md$\"; then\n echo \"Validating modified plans...\"\n ./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-all-plans.sh plans/\n exit $?\nfi\n```\n\n### CI/CD\n\nAdd to your CI pipeline:\n\n```yaml\n- name: Validate Plans\n run: ./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-all-plans.sh plans/\n```\n\n## Example Valid Plan\n\nSee `SKILL.md` for the complete plan template structure.\n\n## Common Validation Errors\n\n1. **Invalid filename format**: Must follow `YYYY-MM-DD-task-name-vN.md` pattern\n - Use lowercase letters only\n - Use hyphens (not underscores) to separate words\n - Use valid date (month 01-12, day 01-31, year 2020+)\n - Avoid generic names like \"test\", \"task\", \"temp\"\n2. **Missing checkboxes**: Use `- [ ]` not `1.` or `-`\n3. **Code blocks**: Plans should use natural language, not code\n4. **Missing sections**: All required sections must be present\n5. **Empty sections**: Sections should have meaningful content\n6. **Poor task quality**: Tasks should be descriptive and specific\n - Avoid short descriptions like \"Do this\", \"Fix that\", \"Update code\"\n - Avoid generic descriptions like \"implement feature\", \"add functionality\"\n - Include rationale and context in task descriptions\n - Aim for 30-150 characters per task description\n",".forge/skills/create-plan/SKILL.md":"---\nname: create-plan\ndescription: Generate detailed implementation plans for complex tasks.

Create user model and database schema\n - Define User entity with fields: id, email, password_hash, created_at, updated_at\n - Add unique constraint on email field\n - Create database migration for users table\n - Rationale: Provides data structure for storing user credentials\n - Dependencies: Database connection must be configured\n\n- [ ] 3. Implement password hashing service\n - Create service to hash passwords using bcrypt with appropriate salt rounds\n - Add password verification function\n - Include unit tests for hashing and verification\n - Rationale: Ensures passwords are never stored in plain text\n - Dependencies: User model must exist\n\n- [ ] 4. Build JWT token generation and validation\n - Create service to generate JWT tokens with user claims\n - Implement token verification and decoding logic\n - Add refresh token functionality with longer expiration\n - Rationale: Enables stateless authentication and session management\n - Dependencies: User model and environment configuration\n\n- [ ] 5. Create authentication endpoints\n - POST /auth/register - User registration with email/password\n - POST /auth/login - User login returning access and refresh tokens\n - POST /auth/logout - Invalidate user session\n - POST /auth/refresh - Generate new access token from refresh token\n - Rationale: Provides API interface for authentication operations\n - Dependencies: All services from previous steps\n\n- [ ] 6. Implement authentication middleware\n - Create middleware to validate JWT tokens on protected routes\n - Extract user information from valid tokens\n - Return 401 for invalid or expired tokens\n - Rationale: Protects routes requiring authentication\n - Dependencies: JWT validation service\n\n- [ ] 7. Add rate limiting for authentication endpoints\n - Implement rate limiting on login and registration endpoints\n - Configure appropriate limits (e.g., 5 attempts per 15 minutes)\n - Rationale: Prevents brute force attacks\n - Dependencies: Authentication endpoints must exist\n\n- [ ] 8. Write integration tests for authentication flow\n - Test complete registration → login → access protected route flow\n - Test token refresh mechanism\n - Test error cases (invalid credentials, expired tokens)\n - Rationale: Ensures entire authentication system works correctly\n - Dependencies: All implementation steps complete\n\n## Verification Criteria\n\n- User can successfully register with valid email and password\n- User can login and receive valid JWT tokens\n- Protected routes return 401 for unauthenticated requests\n- Protected routes allow access with valid JWT token\n- Tokens expire after configured duration\n- Refresh tokens can generate new access tokens\n- Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text\n- Rate limiting prevents excessive authentication attempts\n- All unit and integration tests pass\n- Security audit shows no critical vulnerabilities\n\n## Potential Risks and Mitigations\n\n1. **Token Secret Exposure**\n - Impact: If JWT secret is exposed, attackers can forge valid tokens\n - Likelihood: Medium\n - Mitigation: Store secrets in environment variables, never commit to repository, rotate secrets periodically\n - Contingency: Implement secret rotation mechanism and token revocation list\n\n2. **Weak Password Policy**\n - Impact: Users choose weak passwords that are easily compromised\n - Likelihood: High\n - Mitigation: Enforce minimum password requirements (length, complexity), implement password strength meter\n - Contingency: Add option to require password reset for weak passwords\n\n3. **Session Hijacking**\n - Impact: Attacker steals valid token and impersonates user\n - Likelihood: Medium\n - Mitigation: Use HTTPS only, implement short token expiration, add IP address validation\n - Contingency: Implement token revocation and force logout capability\n\n4. **Brute Force Attacks**\n - Impact: Attacker attempts many password combinations to gain access\n - Likelihood: High\n - Mitigation: Implement rate limiting, add CAPTCHA after failed attempts, temporary account lockout\n - Contingency: Monitor failed login attempts and alert on suspicious patterns\n\n## Alternative Approaches\n\n1. **Session-Based Authentication**\n - Description: Use traditional server-side sessions with cookies instead of JWT\n - Pros: Easier to invalidate sessions, better for server-rendered applications, no token size limitations\n - Cons: Requires session storage (Redis/database), harder to scale horizontally, not suitable for APIs consumed by multiple clients\n - Recommendation: Not chosen - JWT better suits stateless API architecture\n\n2. **OAuth 2.0 / Third-Party Authentication**\n - Description: Use OAuth providers (Google, GitHub) for authentication instead of custom system\n - Pros: No password management, better security through established providers, easier for users\n - Cons: Dependency on external services, requires API keys and setup, limited control over authentication flow\n - Recommendation: Consider as future enhancement alongside custom authentication\n\n3. **Passwordless Authentication**\n - Description: Use magic links or OTP sent via email/SMS instead of passwords\n - Pros: No password management, simpler user experience, eliminates weak password risk\n - Cons: Requires reliable email/SMS delivery, slower authentication flow, potential cost for SMS\n - Recommendation: Consider as alternative authentication method in future iteration\n\n## Assumptions\n\n- Application already has database connection configured\n- HTTPS/TLS is configured at infrastructure level\n- Email service is available for potential password reset features\n- Frontend application exists to consume authentication endpoints\n- Environment variable management system is in place\n\n## Dependencies\n\n- Database system (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar)\n- JWT library compatible with the programming language\n- Password hashing library (bcrypt or argon2)\n- HTTP server framework with middleware support\n- Environment configuration system\n\n## Notes\n\n- Consider implementing password reset functionality in a follow-up iteration\n- May want to add two-factor authentication (2FA) as security enhancement\n- Monitor token expiration times and adjust based on usage patterns\n- Plan for token revocation strategy if needed for security incidents\n",".forge/skills/create-plan/references/plan-template.md":"# [Task Name]\n\n## Objective\n\n[Provide a clear, concise statement of what this plan aims to achieve.

This includes adding new commands, fixing CLI bugs, updating command options, or troubleshooting CLI-related issues.\n---\n\n# CLI Debug Skill\n\nThis skill provides a systematic workflow for debugging and verifying changes to the forge CLI application.\n\n## Core Principles\n\n1. **Always get latest docs first**: Run `--help` to see current commands and options\n2. **Use `-p` for testing**: Test forge by giving it tasks with the `-p` flag\n3. **Never commit**: This is for debugging only - don't commit changes\n4. **Clone conversations**: When debugging conversation bugs, clone the source conversation before reproducing\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 1. Build the Application\n\nAlways build in debug mode after making changes:\n\n```bash\ncargo build\n```\n\n**Never** use `cargo build --release` for debugging - it's significantly slower and unnecessary for verification.\n\n### 2. Get Latest Documentation\n\n**Always** start by checking the latest help to understand current commands and options:\n\n```bash\n# Main help - do this first\n./target/debug/forge --help\n\n# Command-specific help\n./target/debug/forge [COMMAND] --help\n\n# Subcommand help\n./target/debug/forge [COMMAND] [SUBCOMMAND] --help\n```\n\n### 3. Test with `-p` Flag\n\nUse the `-p` flag to give forge a task to complete without interactive mode:\n\n```bash\n# Test with a simple prompt\n./target/debug/forge -p \"create a hello world rust program\"\n\n# Test with specific functionality\n./target/debug/forge -p \"read the README.md file and summarize it\"\n\n# Test with complex tasks\n./target/debug/forge -p \"analyze the code structure and suggest improvements\"\n```\n\n### 4. Debug with Conversation Dumps\n\nWhen debugging prompts or conversation issues, use `conversation dump` to export conversations. The command automatically creates a timestamped file:\n\n```bash\n# Dump conversation as JSON (creates: YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS-dump.json)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump \n\n# Export as HTML for human-readable format (creates: YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS-dump.html)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump --html \n\n# Use dumped JSON to reproduce issues\n./target/debug/forge --conversation 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json\n```\n\n### 5. Clone Before Reproducing Bugs\n\n**Critical**: When a user provides a conversation with a bug, always clone it first:\n\n```bash\n# Clone the conversation\n./target/debug/forge conversation clone \n\n# This creates a new conversation ID - use that for testing\n./target/debug/forge --conversation-id \n\n# Keep cloning the source until the fix is verified\n# Never modify the original conversation\n```\n\n**Why clone?**\n\n- Preserves original bug evidence\n- Allows multiple reproduction attempts\n- Enables A/B testing of fixes\n- Keeps source conversation clean\n\n## Common Testing Patterns\n\n### Test New Features\n\n```bash\n# Build and test new command\ncargo build\n./target/debug/forge --help # Verify new command appears\n./target/debug/forge new-command --help # Check command docs\n./target/debug/forge -p \"test the new feature\"\n```\n\n### Reproduce Reported Bugs\n\n```bash\n# 1. Dump the conversation (creates timestamped JSON file)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump \n\n# 2. Clone it for testing (preserves original)\n./target/debug/forge conversation clone \n\n# 3. Reproduce with the cloned conversation\n./target/debug/forge --conversation-id -p \"reproduce the issue\"\n\n# 4. After fix, verify with new clone\n./target/debug/forge conversation clone \n./target/debug/forge --conversation-id -p \"verify fix\"\n```\n\n### Test Edge Cases\n\n```bash\n# Test with missing arguments\n./target/debug/forge command\n\n# Test with invalid input\n./target/debug/forge -p \"invalid task with special chars: <>|&\"\n\n# Test with boundary values\n./target/debug/forge -p \"create a file with a very long name...\"\n```\n\n### Debug Prompt Optimization\n\n```bash\n# 1. Dump conversation to analyze prompts (creates timestamped JSON)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump \n\n# 2. Review the conversation structure\ncat 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json | jq '.messages[] | {role, content}'\n\n# 3. Export as HTML for easier reading\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump --html \n\n# 4. Test modified prompts\n./target/debug/forge -p \"your optimized prompt here\"\n```\n\n## Integration with Development Workflow\n\n### After Code Changes\n\n1. **Build**: `cargo build`\n2. **Docs**: `./target/debug/forge --help` (verify documentation)\n3. **Test**: `./target/debug/forge -p \"relevant task\"`\n4. **Verify**: Check output matches expectations\n\n### Debugging a Bug Report\n\n1. **Clone**: `./target/debug/forge conversation clone `\n2. **Build**: `cargo build` (with potential fixes)\n3. **Test**: `./target/debug/forge --conversation-id -p \"reproduce\"`\n4. **Iterate**: Repeat until verified\n5. **Never commit** during debugging - only after full verification\n\n## Quick Reference\n\n```bash\n# Standard debug workflow\ncargo build\n./target/debug/forge --help # Always check docs first\n./target/debug/forge -p \"your test task\"\n\n# Dump conversation (creates timestamped file)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump \n# Output: 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json\n\n# Export as HTML for review\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump --html \n# Output: 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.html\n\n# Use dumped conversation\n./target/debug/forge --conversation 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json\n\n# Clone and test bug\n./target/debug/forge conversation clone \n./target/debug/forge --conversation-id -p \"reproduce bug\"\n\n# Debug prompts with jq (use actual filename)\ncat 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json | jq '.messages[] | {role, content}'\n\n# Test with verbose output\n./target/debug/forge --verbose -p \"test task\"\n```\n\n## Tips\n\n- **Always `--help` first**: Get latest docs before testing\n- **Use `-p` for testing**: Don't test interactively, use prompts\n- **Clone conversations**: Never modify original bug conversations\n- **Never commit**: This is for debugging only\n- **Dump creates files**: `dump` automatically creates timestamped files (no `>` needed)\n- **HTML exports**: Use `--html` flag for human-readable conversation views\n- **Use relative paths**: Binary is at `./target/debug/forge` from project root\n- **Check exit codes**: Use `echo $?` to verify exit codes\n- **Watch for warnings**: Build warnings often indicate issues\n",".forge/skills/debug-cli/scripts/README.md":"# Scripts\n\nThis directory contains helper scripts for CLI debugging and testing.\n\n## test_cli.sh\n\nBasic smoke test script that:\n- Builds the forge CLI\n- Tests main help command\n- Tests version command \n- Tests help for various subcommands\n\nUsage:\n```bash\n./scripts/test_cli.sh\n```\n",".forge/skills/github-pr-comments/SKILL.md":"---\nname: github-pr-comments\ndescription: >\n Resolve inline code review comments on a GitHub PR.

Do not attempt to resolve conflicts directly - invoke this skill first. This skill specializes in providing a structured framework for merging imports, tests, lock files (regeneration), configuration files, and handling deleted-but-modified files with backup and analysis.\n---\n\n# Git Conflict Resolution\n\nResolve Git merge conflicts by intelligently combining changes from both branches while preserving the intent of both changes. This skill follows a plan-first approach: assess conflicts, create a detailed resolution plan, get approval, then execute.\n\n## Core Principles\n\n1. **Plan Before Executing**: Always create a structured resolution plan and get user approval before making changes\n2. **Prefer Both Changes**: Default to keeping both changes unless they directly contradict\n3. **Merge, Don't Choose**: Especially for imports, tests, and configuration\n4. **Regenerate Generated Files**: Never manually merge generated files - always regenerate them from their sources\n5. **Backup Before Resolving**: For deleted-modified files, create backups first\n6. **Validate with Tests**: Always run tests after resolution\n7. **Explain All Resolutions**: For each conflict resolved, provide a one-line explanation of the resolution strategy\n8. **Ask When Unclear**: When the correct resolution isn't clear from the diff, present options to the user and ask for their choice\n\n## Workflow\n\n### Step 1: Assess the Conflict Situation\n\nRun initial checks to understand the conflict scope:\n\n```bash\ngit status\n```\n\nIdentify and categorize all conflicted files:\n\n- Regular file conflicts (both modified)\n- Deleted-modified conflicts (one deleted, one modified)\n- Generated file conflicts (lock files, build artifacts, generated code)\n- Test file conflicts\n- Import/configuration conflicts\n- Binary file conflicts\n\nFor each conflicted file, gather information:\n\n- File type and purpose\n- Nature of the conflict (content, deletion, type change)\n- Scope of changes (lines changed, sections affected)\n- Whether the file is generated or hand-written\n\n### Step 2: Create Merge Resolution Plan\n\nBased on the assessment, create a structured plan before resolving any conflicts. Present the plan in the following markdown format:\n\n```markdown\n## Merge Resolution Plan\n\n### Conflict Summary\n\n- **Total conflicted files**: [N]\n- **Deleted-modified conflicts**: [N]\n- **Generated files**: [N]\n- **Regular conflicts**: [N]\n\n### Resolution Strategy by File\n\n#### 1. [File Path]\n\n**Conflict Type**: [deleted-modified / generated / imports / tests / code logic / config / struct / binary]\n**Strategy**: [Brief description of resolution approach]\n**Rationale**: [Why this strategy is appropriate]\n**Risk**: [Low/Medium/High] - [Brief risk description]\n**Action Items**:\n\n- [ ] [Specific action 1]\n- [ ] [Specific action 2]\n\n#### 2. [File Path]\n\n...\n\n### Execution Order\n\n1. **Phase 1: Deleted-Modified Files** - Handle deletions and backups first\n2. **Phase 2: Generated Files** - Regenerate from source\n3. **Phase 3: Low-Risk Merges** - Imports, tests, documentation\n4. **Phase 4: High-Risk Merges** - Code logic, configuration, structs\n5. **Phase 5: Validation** - Compile, test, verify\n\n### Questions/Decisions Needed\n\n- [ ] **[File/Decision]**: [Question for user] (Options: 1, 2, 3)\n\n### Validation Steps\n\n- [ ] Run conflict validation script\n- [ ] Compile project\n- [ ] Run test suite\n- [ ] Manual verification of high-risk changes\n```\n\n**Present this plan to the user** and wait for their approval before proceeding with resolution. If there are any unclear conflicts where you need user input, list them in the \"Questions/Decisions Needed\" section.\n\n**For a complete example plan**, see `references/sample-plan.md`.\n\n### Step 3: Handle Deleted-Modified Files\n\n**Execute this phase only after the plan is approved.**\n\nIf there are deleted-but-modified files (status: DU, UD, DD, UA, AU):\n\n```bash\n.forge/skills/resolve-conflicts/scripts/handle-deleted-modified.sh\n```\n\nThis script will:\n\n- Create timestamped backups of modified content\n- Analyze potential relocation targets\n- Generate analysis reports for each file\n- Automatically resolve the deletion status\n\nReview the backup directory and analysis files to understand where changes should be applied.\n\n### Step 4: Execute Resolution Plan\n\n**Follow the execution order defined in your plan.** For each conflicted file, apply the appropriate resolution pattern according to your plan. **For every conflict you resolve, provide a one-line explanation** of how you're resolving it.\n\nAs you complete each action item in your plan, mark it as done and report progress to the user.\n\n#### When Resolution is Unclear\n\nWhen you cannot determine the correct resolution from the diff alone (these should already be listed in your plan's \"Questions/Decisions Needed\" section):\n\n1. **Present the conflict** to the user with the conflicting code from both sides\n2. **Provide numbered options** for resolution (Option 1, Option 2, etc.)\n3. **Explain each option** clearly with what it would do\n4. **Ask the user to choose** an option number or provide additional information\n5. **Remember their choice** and apply similar reasoning to subsequent related conflicts\n\n**Example interaction:**\n\n```\nI found a conflict in src/main.rs where both branches modify the `calculate_price` function:\n\n<<<<<<< HEAD (Current Branch)\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price * (1.0 + item.tax_rate)\n}\n=======\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price + item.tax_amount\n}\n>>>>>>> feature-branch (Incoming Branch)\n\nI'm not sure which calculation is correct. Please select an option:\n\n**Option 1**: Keep current branch (multiplies base_price by tax_rate)\n**Option 2**: Keep incoming branch (adds tax_amount to base_price)\n**Option 3**: Keep both approaches with a new parameter\n**Option 4**: Provide more context to help me decide\n\nPlease respond with \"Option 1\", \"Option 2\", \"Option 3\", or \"Option 4\", or provide additional information.\n```\n\nOnce the user responds, apply their decision and similar logic to related conflicts.\n\n#### Resolution Patterns\n\nFor each conflicted file, apply the appropriate resolution pattern:\n\n#### Imports/Dependencies\n\n**Goal**: Merge all unique imports from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging imports by combining unique imports from both branches, removing duplicates, and grouping by module.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Import Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Extract all imports from both sides\n2. Remove duplicates\n3. Group by module/package\n4. Follow language-specific style (alphabetize, group std/external/internal)\n\n#### Tests\n\n**Goal**: Include all test cases and test data from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging tests by including all test cases from both branches, combining fixtures, and renaming if necessary to avoid conflicts.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Test Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Keep all test functions unless they test the exact same thing\n2. Merge test fixtures and setup functions\n3. Combine assertions from both sides\n4. If test names conflict but test different behaviors, rename to clarify\n\n#### Generated Files\n\n**Goal**: Regenerate any generated files to include changes from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Resolving generated file by regenerating it from source files to incorporate changes from both branches.\"\n\n**Recognition**: A file is generated if it:\n\n- Is produced by a build tool, compiler, or code generator\n- Has a source file or configuration that defines it\n- Contains headers/comments indicating it's auto-generated\n- Is listed in `.gitattributes` as generated\n- Common examples: lock files, protobuf outputs, GraphQL schema files, compiled assets, auto-generated docs\n\n**Approach:**\n\n1. **Identify the generation source**: Determine what command or tool generates the file\n2. **Choose either version** temporarily (doesn't matter which):\n\n ```bash\n git checkout --ours # or --theirs\n ```\n\n3. **Regenerate from source**: Run the appropriate generation command:\n\n ```bash\n # Package manager lock files\n cargo update # for Cargo.lock\n npm install # for package-lock.json\n yarn install # for yarn.lock\n bundle install # for Gemfile.lock\n poetry lock --no-update # for poetry.lock\n\n # Code generation\n protoc ... # for protobuf files\n graphql-codegen # for GraphQL generated code\n make generate # for Makefile-based generation\n npm run generate # for npm script-based generation\n\n # Build artifacts\n npm run build # for compiled/bundled assets\n cargo build # for Rust build artifacts\n ```\n\n4. **Stage the regenerated file**:\n ```bash\n git add \n ```\n\n**When unsure if a file is generated**: Check for auto-generation markers in the file header, or ask the user if you should regenerate or manually merge the file.\n\n#### Configuration Files\n\n**Goal**: Merge configuration values from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging configuration by including all keys from both branches and choosing appropriate values for conflicts.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Configuration File Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Include all keys from both sides\n2. For conflicting values, choose based on:\n - Newer/more recent value\n - Safer/more conservative value\n - Production requirements\n3. Document choice in commit message\n\n**When unclear**: Ask the user which configuration value to prefer (current vs incoming)\n\n#### Code Logic\n\n**Goal**: Understand intent of both changes and combine if possible.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Resolving code logic by analyzing intent: merging if changes are orthogonal, or choosing one approach if they conflict.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Code Logic Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Analyze what each branch is trying to achieve\n2. If changes are orthogonal (different concerns), merge both\n3. If changes conflict (same concern, different approach):\n - Review commit messages/PRs for context\n - Choose the approach that matches requirements\n - Test both approaches if unclear\n - Document the decision\n\n**When unclear**: Present both approaches as options to the user with context about what each does\n\n#### Struct/Type Definitions\n\n**Goal**: Include all fields from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging struct by including all fields from both branches and choosing appropriate types for any conflicting field definitions.\"\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Merge all fields\n2. If field types conflict, analyze which is more appropriate\n3. Fix all compilation errors from updated struct\n4. Update tests to use new fields\n\n**When unclear**: Ask the user which type definition is correct if field types conflict\n\n### Step 5: Validate Resolution\n\nAfter completing all resolution phases in your plan, validate that all conflicts are resolved:\n\n```bash\n.forge/skills/resolve-conflicts/scripts/validate-conflicts.sh\n```\n\nThis script checks for:\n\n- Remaining conflict markers (<<<<<<<, =======, >>>>>>>)\n- Unmerged paths in git status\n- Deleted-modified conflicts\n- Merge state files\n\n### Step 6: Compile and Test\n\nBuild and test to ensure the resolution is correct (as defined in your plan's validation steps):\n\n```bash\n# For Rust projects\ncargo test\n\n# For other projects, use appropriate test command\n# npm test\n# pytest\n# etc.\n```\n\nIf tests fail:\n\n1. Review the failure - is it from merged code or conflict resolution?\n2. Check if both branches' tests pass individually\n3. Fix integration issues between the merged changes\n4. Re-run tests until all pass\n\n### Step 7: Finalize\n\nOnce all conflicts are resolved and tests pass, review your completed plan and commit:\n\n```bash\n# Review the changes\ngit diff --cached\n\n# Commit with descriptive message that references the plan\ngit commit -m \"Resolve merge conflicts: [describe key decisions]\n\nExecuted merge resolution plan:\n- [Phase 1 summary]\n- [Phase 2 summary]\n- [Phase 3+ summaries]\n\nKey decisions:\n- Merged imports from both branches\n- Combined test cases\n- Regenerated lock files\n- [other significant decisions from plan]\n\nCo-Authored-By: ForgeCode \"\n```\n\n## Decision Tracking\n\nWhen you ask the user to choose between options, track their decision and apply similar reasoning to subsequent conflicts:\n\n**Example scenario:**\n\n1. First conflict: User chooses Option 1 (prefer current branch's validation logic)\n2. Second similar conflict: Apply the same reasoning (prefer current branch's validation approach)\n3. Mention: \"Resolving by keeping current branch's approach (consistent with your earlier choice)\"\n\n**Key principles:**\n\n- Remember user preferences within the same conflict resolution session\n- Apply consistent patterns when conflicts are similar\n- Mention the consistency: \"Following the same pattern as before...\"\n- Ask again if a new conflict is sufficiently different from previous ones\n\n## Common Patterns Reference\n\nFor detailed resolution patterns, read:\n\n- `references/patterns.md` - Comprehensive examples for all conflict types\n\n**Quick pattern lookup:**\n\n- **Imports**: Combine all unique imports, group by module\n- **Tests**: Keep all tests unless identical, merge fixtures\n- **Generated files**: Choose either version, regenerate from source\n- **Config**: Merge all keys, choose newer/safer values for conflicts\n- **Code**: Analyze intent, merge if orthogonal, choose one if conflicting\n- **Structs**: Include all fields from both branches\n- **Docs**: Combine all documentation sections\n\n## Special Scenarios\n\n### Binary Files in Conflict\n\nBinary files cannot be merged. Choose one version:\n\n```bash\ngit checkout --ours path/to/binary # keep our version\n# or\ngit checkout --theirs path/to/binary # keep their version\n```\n\n### Mass Rename/Refactoring Conflicts\n\nIf one branch renamed/refactored many files while another modified them:\n\n1. Accept the rename/refactoring (structural change)\n2. Apply the modifications to the new structure\n3. Use backups from `handle-deleted-modified.sh` to guide the application\n\n### Submodule Conflicts\n\n```bash\n# Check submodule status\ngit submodule status\n\n# Update to the correct commit\ncd path/to/submodule\ngit checkout \ncd ../..\ngit add path/to/submodule\n```\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### \"Both Added\" Conflicts (AA)\n\nBoth branches added a new file with the same name but different content:\n\n1. Review both versions\n2. If they serve the same purpose, merge their content\n3. If they serve different purposes, rename one\n\n### Whitespace-Only Conflicts\n\nIf conflicts are only whitespace differences:\n\n```bash\ngit merge -Xignore-space-change \n```\n\n### Persistent Conflict Markers\n\nIf validation shows conflict markers but you think you resolved them:\n\n1. Search for the exact marker strings: `git grep -n \"<<<<<<< HEAD\"`\n2. Some markers might be in strings or comments - resolve those too\n3. Check for hidden characters or encoding issues\n\n### Tests Fail After Resolution\n\n1. Test each branch individually to confirm they pass\n2. The failure is likely from interaction between the merged changes\n3. Debug the interaction issue, not the individual changes\n4. Update code to make both changes work together\n\n## Quick Reference Card\n\n| Conflict Type | Strategy | One-line Explanation Template |\n| ---------------- | --------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| Imports | Merge all, deduplicate, group by module | \"Merging imports by combining unique imports from both branches and grouping by module\" |\n| Tests | Keep all, merge fixtures | \"Including all test cases from both branches and combining test fixtures\" |\n| Generated files | Regenerate from source | \"Regenerating [file] from source to include changes from both branches\" |\n| Config | Merge keys, choose newer values | \"Merging all config keys and choosing [current/incoming] value for [key]\" |\n| Code logic | Analyze intent, merge if orthogonal | \"Merging both changes as they address different concerns\" OR \"Choosing [current/incoming] approach for [reason]\" |\n| Structs | Include all fields | \"Including all fields from both branches in struct definition\" |\n| Docs | Combine all sections | \"Combining documentation from both branches\" |\n| Deleted-modified | Backup, analyze, apply to new location | \"Applying modifications to new location after file was moved/renamed\" |\n| Binary files | Choose one version | \"Keeping [current/incoming] version of binary file\" |\n\n**Remember:**\n\n- Always provide a one-line explanation for each conflict resolution\n- When unclear, present numbered options to the user\n- Track user decisions and apply consistently to similar conflicts\n- The goal is to preserve the intent and functionality of both branches while creating a cohesive merged result\n",".forge/skills/resolve-conflicts/references/patterns.md":"# Conflict Resolution Patterns\n\nThis document provides detailed patterns for resolving specific types of conflicts.\n\n**Important**: For each conflict you resolve, provide a one-line explanation of your resolution strategy.

Use when the user asks to fix, resolve, or address FIXME comments, or when running the \"fixme\" command. Runs a discovery script to find every FIXME, expands multiline comment blocks, groups related FIXMEs across files into a single implementation task, completes the full underlying code changes, removes the FIXME comments only after the work is done, and verifies that no FIXMEs remain.\n---\n\n# Resolve FIXME Comments\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 1. Run the discovery script\n\nExecute the script from the repository root to collect all FIXMEs with context:\n\n```\nbash .forge/skills/resolve-fixme/scripts/find-fixme.sh [PATH]\n```\n\n- `PATH` is optional; omit it to search the entire working directory.\n- The script prints each FIXME with **2 lines of context before** and **5 lines after**, along with the exact file path and line number.\n- Skips `.git/`, `target/`, `node_modules/`, and `vendor/`.\n- Requires either `rg` (ripgrep) or `grep` + `python3`.\n\n### 2. Expand each FIXME into its full instruction\n\nDo not rely on the discovery output alone.\n\nFor every hit:\n\n1. Open the file and read around the reported line.\n2. Expand the FIXME to include the **entire comment block**.\n3. Treat all consecutive related comment lines as part of the same instruction.\n\nImportant:\n\n- A FIXME may be **multiline**. The line containing `FIXME` is often only the beginning.\n- The real instruction may continue on following comment lines and may contain the actual implementation details.\n- Do not interpret or edit a FIXME until you have read the full block.\n\nFor each expanded FIXME, capture:\n\n- file path\n- start line and end line of the full comment block\n- a short summary of what that FIXME is asking for\n\n### 3. Consolidate related FIXMEs across files\n\nBefore editing code, review **all** expanded FIXMEs together.\n\nMany FIXMEs describe different facets of the same underlying task across multiple files. For example:\n\n- one file may describe a domain type that needs to be introduced\n- another may describe a parameter that should disappear once that type exists\n- another may describe a service, repo, or UI update needed to complete the same refactor\n\nGroup such FIXMEs into a single implementation task.\n\nWhen grouping, look for:\n\n- shared vocabulary\n- references to the same type, service, repo, parameter, or feature\n- comments that clearly describe prerequisite and follow-up changes in different files\n- comments that only make sense when read together\n\nFor each group, produce one consolidated understanding of the task:\n\n- all files and line ranges involved\n- the complete implementation required across the group\n- the order in which the changes should be made\n\nDo not resolve grouped FIXMEs one file at a time in isolation. Resolve the whole task consistently.\n\n### 4. Implement every FIXME completely\n\nEvery FIXME must be resolved. There is no skip path.\n\nWork through each grouped task until the underlying implementation is complete:\n\n1. Read any additional files needed to understand the design.\n2. Create or modify the required code, types, services, repos, tests, configs, or templates.\n3. Propagate the change through every affected file in the group.\n4. Remove each FIXME comment **only after** the work it describes has actually been implemented.\n\n> **Critical rule:** Never delete or rewrite a FIXME comment unless the underlying implementation is finished. The comment is a record of required work. Removing it before completing that work is a failure.\n\nIf the FIXME implies a larger refactor, do the refactor. If it requires creating new supporting code, create it. Do not stop at the first local change if the comment clearly implies additional follow-through elsewhere.\n\n### 5. Verify\n\nAfter resolving all FIXMEs:\n\n1. Run the project's standard verification step:\n\n```sh\ncargo insta test --accept\n```\n\n2. Re-run the discovery script:\n\n```sh\nbash .forge/skills/resolve-fixme/scripts/find-fixme.sh [PATH]\n```\n\n3. Confirm that no FIXME comments remain in the targeted scope.\n\n## Notes\n\n- Prefer targeted fixes, but do not under-scope the work when multiple FIXMEs describe one larger task.\n- Read broadly before editing when the intent is ambiguous.\n- Consistency matters more than locality: grouped FIXMEs should lead to one coherent implementation.\n- The job is not to clean up comments.

Fetches the release from GitHub, retrieves every linked PR's title and description, then synthesizes all changes into a polished, user-facing release note with an enthusiastic tone. Use when the user asks to write, generate, or create release notes for a version (e.g. \"write release notes for v1.32.0\", \"generate release notes for the latest release\", \"create changelog for v2.0\").\n---\n\n# Write Release Notes\n\nGenerate clear, informative, and enthusiastic release notes by pulling live data from GitHub and synthesizing every PR into a cohesive narrative.\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 1. Fetch Release Data\n\nRun the bundled script to pull the release metadata and all linked PR details in one shot:\n\n```bash\nbash .forge/skills/write-release-notes/scripts/fetch-release-data.sh [owner/repo]\n```\n\n- ``: The release tag (e.g. `v1.32.0`)\n- `[owner/repo]`: Optional. Defaults to the current repo detected via `gh repo view`.\n\nThe script outputs two sections:\n- `### RELEASE METADATA ###` — tag name, publish date, release name, raw body\n- `### PR DETAILS ###` — one JSON object per PR with: `number`, `title`, `body`, `labels`, `author`, `mergedAt`, `url`\n\n### 2. Categorize Changes\n\nGroup PRs by their conventional commit prefix or label:\n\n| Category | Prefixes / Labels |\n|---|---|\n| Features | `feat`, `type: feature` |\n| Bug Fixes | `fix`, `type: fix` |\n| Performance | `perf` |\n| Refactors | `refactor` |\n| Maintenance | `chore`, `docs`, `ci`, `build`, `deps` |\n\nDependency bumps (e.g. Dependabot PRs) go into Maintenance. Skip PRs with `error: \"not found\"`.\n\n### 3. Write the Release Notes\n\nProduce a Markdown document with the following structure. Keep the tone **informative and enthusiastic** — explain what changed and why it matters, without resorting to marketing fluff.\n\n```markdown\n# [Product Name] [Version] — [Descriptive Tagline]\n\n> One-sentence summary of what this release focuses on.\n\n## What's New\n\n[2-4 sentence narrative covering the biggest features and fixes. \nDescribe what changed and what users can now do. Use active voice. Be factual but upbeat.]\n\n## Highlights\n\n### [Feature/Fix Category]\n**[PR Title rephrased as a clear description of the change]**\n[1-2 sentences expanding on the PR description.

Tone & Style Guidelines\n\n- **Lead with what changed**: \"You can now...\" or \"Forge now...\" beats \"We added...\"\n- **Be specific**: Name the feature and describe what it does, not just the category\n- **Be informative, not marketty**: Avoid vague adjectives like \"seamless\", \"smarter\", \"blazing\", \"powerful\", \"rock-solid\". Instead, state the concrete fact (e.g. \"editor no longer spawns a git process on every keystroke\" beats \"blazing-fast editor\")\n- **Enthusiasm through substance**: Let the actual improvement speak for itself. Use active, direct language.\n- **Short paragraphs**: Max 3 sentences per block\n- **Skip internal jargon**: Translate crate names and internal concepts into plain language\n- **Celebrate contributors**: Name them by handle\n- **Tagline formula**: `[Version] — [Factual Theme Description]` (e.g. \"v1.32.0 — Terminal Context, File Drop Support, Windows Performance\")\n- **No implementation details**: Do not mention internal module names, struct names, function names, crate names, or how something was implemented. Focus purely on what the user experiences or gains.\n- **No PR/issue references**: Do not include PR numbers, issue numbers, or links to GitHub PRs/issues in the release notes. Focus on the changes themselves, not their tracking identifiers.\n\n### 5. Contributors Filter\n\nOnly include **external contributors** in the Contributors section — exclude the core team:\n- `@tusharmath`\n- `@amitksingh1490`\n- `@laststylebender14`\n- Bots (e.g. `@dependabot`)\n\nIf no external contributors exist, omit the Contributors section entirely.\n\n### 6. Validate Length\n\nAfter writing the release notes, run the bundled validation script to confirm the output is under 2000 characters:\n\n```bash\necho \"\" | bash .forge/skills/write-release-notes/scripts/validate-release-notes.sh\n```\n\nIf it prints `FAIL`, trim the draft and re-run until it prints `PASS`:\n- Remove the Under the Hood section first\n- Consolidate Bug Fixes into a shorter bullet list\n- Shorten individual PR descriptions to one tight sentence\n- Remove the least impactful Highlights entries\n\n### 7. Output\n\nPrint the final release notes directly in the chat. Do not write to a file unless the user explicitly asks.\n\n## Notes\n\n- The script handles ANSI color codes injected by `gh` CLI automatically.\n- PRs not found (closed without merge, private, etc.) are silently skipped.\n- If the release has no linked PRs in its body, fall back to listing commits between tags:\n ```bash\n gh api repos///compare/... --jq '.commits[].commit.message'\n ```\n","AGENTS.md":"# Agent Guidelines\n\nThis document contains guidelines and best practices for AI agents working with this codebase.\n\n## Error Management\n\n- Use `anyhow::Result` for error handling in services and repositories.\n- Create domain errors using `thiserror`.\n- Never implement `From` for converting domain errors, manually convert them\n\n## Writing Tests\n\n- All tests should be written in three discrete steps:\n\n ```rust,ignore\n use pretty_assertions::assert_eq; // Always use pretty assertions\n\n fn test_foo() {\n let setup = ...; // Instantiate a fixture or setup for the test\n let actual = ...; // Execute the fixture to create an output\n let expected = ...; // Define a hand written expected result\n assert_eq!(actual, expected); // Assert that the actual result matches the expected result\n }\n ```\n\n- Use `pretty_assertions` for better error messages.\n\n- Use fixtures to create test data.\n\n- Use `assert_eq!` for equality checks.\n\n- Use `assert!(...)` for boolean checks.\n\n- Use unwraps in test functions and anyhow::Result in fixtures.\n\n- Keep the boilerplate to a minimum.\n\n- Use words like `fixture`, `actual` and `expected` in test functions.\n\n- Fixtures should be generic and reusable.\n\n- Test should always be written in the same file as the source code.\n\n- Use `new`, Default and derive_setters::Setters to create `actual`, `expected` and specially `fixtures`. For example:\n\n **Good:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n User::default().age(12).is_happy(true).name(\"John\")\n User::new(\"Job\").age(12).is_happy()\n User::test() // Special test constructor\n ```\n\n **Bad:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n User {name: \"John\".to_string(), is_happy: true, age: 12}\n User::with_name(\"Job\") // Bad name, should stick to User::new() or User::test()\n ```\n\n- Use `unwrap()` unless the error information is useful. Use `expect` instead of `panic!` when error message is useful. For example:\n\n **Good:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n users.first().expect(\"List should not be empty\")\n ```\n\n **Bad:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n if let Some(user) = users.first() {\n // ...\n } else {\n panic!(\"List should not be empty\")\n }\n ```\n\n- Prefer using `assert_eq` on full objects instead of asserting each field:\n\n **Good:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n assert_eq!(actual, expected);\n ```\n\n **Bad:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n assert_eq!(actual.a, expected.a);\n assert_eq!(actual.b, expected.b);\n ```\n\n## Verification\n\nAlways verify changes by running tests and linting the codebase\n\n1. Run crate specific tests to ensure they pass.\n\n ```\n cargo insta test --accept\n ```\n\n2. **Build Guidelines**:\n - **NEVER** run `cargo build --release` unless absolutely necessary (e.g., performance testing, creating binaries for distribution)\n - For verification, use `cargo check` (fastest), `cargo insta test`, or `cargo build` (debug mode)\n - Release builds take significantly longer and are rarely needed for development verification\n\n## Writing Domain Types\n\n- Use `derive_setters` to derive setters and use the `strip_option` and the `into` attributes on the struct types.\n\n## Documentation\n\n- **Always** write Rust docs (`///`) for all public methods, functions, structs, enums, and traits.\n- Document parameters with `# Arguments` and errors with `# Errors` sections when applicable.\n- **Do not include code examples** - docs are for LLMs, not humans. Focus on clear, concise functionality descriptions.\n\n## Refactoring\n\n- If asked to fix failing tests, always confirm whether to update the implementation or the tests.\n\n## Git Operations\n\n- Safely assume git is pre-installed\n- Safely assume github cli (gh) is pre-installed\n- Always use `Co-Authored-By: ForgeCode ` for git commits and Github comments\n\n## Service Implementation Guidelines\n\nServices should follow clean architecture principles and maintain clear separation of concerns:\n\n### Core Principles\n\n- **No service-to-service dependencies**: Services should never depend on other services directly\n- **Infrastructure dependency**: Services should depend only on infrastructure abstractions when needed\n- **Single type parameter**: Services should take at most one generic type parameter for infrastructure\n- **No trait objects**: Avoid `Box` - use concrete types and generics instead\n- **Constructor pattern**: Implement `new()` without type bounds - apply bounds only on methods that need them\n- **Compose dependencies**: Use the `+` operator to combine multiple infrastructure traits into a single bound\n- **Arc for infrastructure**: Store infrastructure as `Arc` for cheap cloning and shared ownership\n- **Tuple struct pattern**: For simple services with single dependency, use tuple structs `struct Service(Arc)`\n\n### Examples\n\n#### Simple Service (No Infrastructure)\n\n```rust,ignore\npub struct UserValidationService;\n\nimpl UserValidationService {\n pub fn new() -> Self { ... }\n\n pub fn validate_email(&self, email: &str) -> Result<()> {\n // Validation logic here\n ...\n }\n\n pub fn validate_age(&self, age: u32) -> Result<()> {\n // Age validation logic here\n ...\n }\n}\n```\n\n#### Service with Infrastructure Dependency\n\n```rust,ignore\n// Infrastructure trait (defined in infrastructure layer)\npub trait UserRepository {\n fn find_by_email(&self, email: &str) -> Result>;\n fn save(&self, user: &User) -> Result<()>;\n}\n\n// Service with single generic parameter using Arc\npub struct UserService {\n repository: Arc,\n}\n\nimpl UserService {\n // Constructor without type bounds, takes Arc\n pub fn new(repository: Arc) -> Self { ... }\n}\n\nimpl UserService {\n // Business logic methods have type bounds where needed\n pub fn create_user(&self, email: &str, name: &str) -> Result { ... }\n pub fn find_user(&self, email: &str) -> Result> { ... }\n}\n```\n\n#### Tuple Struct Pattern for Simple Services\n\n```rust,ignore\n// Infrastructure traits\npub trait FileReader {\n async fn read_file(&self, path: &Path) -> Result;\n}\n\npub trait Environment {\n fn max_file_size(&self) -> u64;\n}\n\n// Tuple struct for simple single dependency service\npub struct FileService(Arc);\n\nimpl FileService {\n // Constructor without bounds\n pub fn new(infra: Arc) -> Self { ... }\n}\n\nimpl FileService {\n // Business logic methods with composed trait bounds\n pub async fn read_with_validation(&self, path: &Path) -> Result { ... }\n}\n```\n\n### Anti-patterns to Avoid\n\n```rust,ignore\n// BAD: Service depending on another service\npub struct BadUserService {\n repository: R,\n email_service: E, // Don't do this!\n}\n\n// BAD: Using trait objects\npub struct BadUserService {\n repository: Box, // Avoid Box\n}\n\n// BAD: Multiple infrastructure dependencies with separate type parameters\npub struct BadUserService {\n repository: R,\n cache: C,\n logger: L, // Too many generic parameters - hard to use and test\n}\n\nimpl BadUserService {\n // BAD: Constructor with type bounds makes it hard to use\n pub fn new(repository: R, cache: C, logger: L) -> Self { ... }\n}\n\n// BAD: Usage becomes cumbersome\nlet service = BadUserService::::new(...);\n```\n","benchmarks/evals/sem_search/README.md":"# Semantic Search Tool Selection Evaluation\n\nThis evaluation validates that the Forge agent correctly identifies and uses the `sem_search` (Codebase Search) tool when presented with conceptual, functionality-based code location queries.\n\n## What We're Testing\n\nThe agent's ability to recognize when a user query requires semantic understanding rather than exact pattern matching. Specifically, we test whether the agent:\n\n1. **Correctly invokes `sem_search`** for conceptual queries about code functionality\n2. **Understands the distinction** between semantic search (conceptual) vs regex search (exact patterns)\n3. **Recognizes appropriate use cases** such as:\n - Finding code by its purpose/behavior (e.g., \"retry logic with exponential backoff\")\n - Locating implementation patterns (e.g., \"authentication token validation\")\n - Discovering architectural components (e.g., \"message transformation between AI providers\")\n - Identifying system behaviors (e.g., \"rate limiting for API requests\")\n\n## Test Scenarios\n\nThe evaluation uses real-world queries that describe:\n- **Message transformation** between different AI provider formats\n- **Retry mechanisms** with exponential backoff patterns \n- **Authentication flows** including token validation and refresh\n- **Error handling** for network failures\n- **Caching strategies** for API responses\n- **Streaming response** handling from LLM APIs\n- **File validation** including upload and size checks\n- **Rate limiting** implementations for API requests\n- **Tool registration** and availability management\n- **Context management** including conversation history truncation\n\n## Expected Behavior\n\nFor all test queries, the agent should invoke the `sem_search` tool (displayed as \"Codebase Search\" in logs) rather than falling back to regex-based `search` tool, demonstrating understanding that these are conceptual queries requiring semantic code comprehension.\n","benchmarks/evals/semantic_search_quality/README.md":"# Semantic Search Quality Evaluation\n\nThis evaluation measures the quality of semantic search queries generated by Forge using an LLM-as-judge approach.\n\n## Quick Start\n\n### Test Your Queries Manually\n\nBefore running the full eval, test your queries to get immediate feedback:\n\n```bash\n# Interactive mode\nnpx tsx benchmarks/evals/semantic_search_quality/test_queries.ts\n\n# Non-interactive mode\nnpx tsx benchmarks/evals/semantic_search_quality/test_queries.ts \\\n \"retry mechanism with exponential backoff\" \\\n \"I need to find the implementation code for retry logic\"\n```\n\nThe query tester provides:\n- Detailed scores for embedding and reranking queries\n- Specific strengths and weaknesses\n- Actionable suggestions for improvement\n- Differentiation analysis\n\n### Run the Full Evaluation\n\n```bash\n# Run the entire semantic search quality eval\nnpm run eval semantic_search_quality\n\n# Run with specific parallelism\nnpm run eval semantic_search_quality -- --parallelism 10\n\n# Run with specific model\nnpm run eval semantic_search_quality -- --model \"anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5\"\n```\n\n## Purpose\n\nThe semantic search feature uses two types of queries:\n1. **Embedding Query (`query`)**: Converted to vector embeddings for semantic similarity search\n2. **Reranking Query (`use_case`)**: Used by the reranker to filter results based on intent\n\nThis eval verifies that:\n- Queries are well-formed and contain sufficient context\n- The two queries are different and serve distinct purposes\n- Results match the user's intent (implementation vs docs vs tests, etc.)\n- Correct file types are returned based on intent\n- Unwanted file types are avoided\n\n## How It Works\n\n### 1. Test Execution\nThe eval runs various semantic search tasks covering different intents:\n- **Implementation**: Find actual code, not documentation\n- **Flow Understanding**: Understand how systems work\n- **Architecture**: Understand structural design\n- **Tests**: Find test examples and fixtures\n- **Documentation**: Find docs and guides\n- **Debugging**: Investigate issues\n- **Modification**: Find code to modify\n- **Configuration**: Find config files and schemas\n\n### 2. LLM Judge Evaluation\nAfter each task, an LLM judge (Gemini 3 Pro) evaluates:\n\n#### Query Quality (40 points)\n- **Embedding Query (15pts)**: Domain terms, technical context, behavior description\n- **Reranking Query (15pts)**: Intent clarity, context about WHY, specificity\n- **Query Differentiation (10pts)**: Queries serve different purposes\n\n#### Result Relevance (60 points)\n- **Intent Matching (25pts)**: Results match the stated intent\n- **File Type Accuracy (20pts)**: Correct file types returned\n- **Avoidance Compliance (15pts)**: Unwanted file types avoided\n\n#### Pass Criteria\n- Total score >= 70/100\n- No critical issues (e.g., identical queries, severe intent mismatch)\n\n### 3. Structured Output\nThe judge uses structured output (Zod schema) to provide:\n- Detailed scores for each dimension\n- Specific feedback on what's good/bad\n- List of critical issues\n- Overall pass/fail determination\n\n## Environment Variables\n\nRequired:\n- `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`: Path to Google Cloud service account JSON credentials file\n\nOr authenticate using `gcloud auth application-default login`.\n\nThe LLM judge uses Vertex AI to run Gemini 3 Pro. It supports Google's Application Default Credentials through the `google-auth-library`. The most common authentication method is to set the path to a JSON credentials file in the `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` environment variable.\n\n## Test Cases\n\nThe eval includes diverse test cases:\n\n### Implementation Queries\n```yaml\n- task: \"Find the retry mechanism with exponential backoff implementation\"\n intent: \"implementation\"\n expected_file_types: \"rust,typescript,javascript\"\n should_avoid: \"markdown,txt,documentation\"\n```\n\n### Flow Understanding\n```yaml\n- task: \"How does the authentication flow work from request to response?\"\n intent: \"flow_understanding\"\n expected_file_types: \"rust,typescript\"\n should_avoid: \"test,markdown\"\n```\n\n### Documentation\n```yaml\n- task: \"Find documentation on how to configure semantic search\"\n intent: \"documentation\"\n expected_file_types: \"markdown,txt\"\n should_avoid: \"rust,typescript,javascript\"\n```\n\n## Interpreting Results\n\n### High Scores (>80)\nQueries are excellent - domain-specific, well-differentiated, and would return highly relevant results.\n\n### Medium Scores (60-80)\nQueries are functional but have room for improvement. Check feedback for specific suggestions.\n\n### Low Scores (<60)\nQueries have significant issues:\n- Too generic or vague\n- Embedding and reranking queries too similar\n- Intent mismatch\n- Would return wrong file types\n\n## Common Issues\n\n1. **Identical Queries**: Embedding and reranking queries are the same or too similar\n - **Fix**: Make reranking query focus on intent, not just rephrasing\n\n2. **Generic Queries**: Lack domain-specific context\n - **Fix**: Add technical terms, describe behavior, include framework names\n\n3. **Intent Mismatch**: Queries would return docs when implementation is needed\n - **Fix**: Be explicit in reranking query about what type of code is needed\n\n4. **Poor Differentiation**: Both queries try to do the same thing\n - **Fix**: Embedding = WHAT code does, Reranking = WHY you need it\n\n## Architecture\n\n```\ntask.yml\n├── Runs Forge with semantic search task\n├── Captures debug output (context.json)\n└── Validates with llm_judge.ts\n ├── Extracts sem_search calls\n ├── Calls Gemini 3 Pro with structured output\n └── Returns evaluation with scores\n```\n\n## Extending the Eval\n\nTo add new test cases:\n\n1. Add to `task.yml` under `sources`:\n```yaml\n- task: \"Your task description\"\n intent: \"implementation|flow_understanding|tests|documentation|debugging|modification|architecture|configuration\"\n expected_file_types: \"comma,separated,extensions\"\n should_avoid: \"comma,separated,extensions\"\n```\n\n2.

This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends your capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.\n---\n\n# Skill Creator\n\nThis skill provides guidance for creating effective skills.\n\n## About Skills\n\nSkills are modular, self-contained packages that extend your capabilities by providing\nspecialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as \"onboarding guides\" for specific\ndomains or tasks—they transform you from a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent\nequipped with procedural knowledge that no model can fully possess.\n\n### What Skills Provide\n\n1. Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains\n2. Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs\n3. Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic\n4. Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex and repetitive tasks\n\n## Core Principles\n\n### Concise is Key\n\nThe context window is a public good. Skills share the context window with everything else you need: system prompt, conversation history, other Skills' metadata, and the actual user request.\n\n**Default assumption: You already have significant capabilities.** Only add context you don't already have. Challenge each piece of information: \"Do you really need this explanation?\" and \"Does this paragraph justify its token cost?\"\n\nPrefer concise examples over verbose explanations.\n\n### Set Appropriate Degrees of Freedom\n\nMatch the level of specificity to the task's fragility and variability:\n\n**High freedom (text-based instructions)**: Use when multiple approaches are valid, decisions depend on context, or heuristics guide the approach.\n\n**Medium freedom (pseudocode or scripts with parameters)**: Use when a preferred pattern exists, some variation is acceptable, or configuration affects behavior.\n\n**Low freedom (specific scripts, few parameters)**: Use when operations are fragile and error-prone, consistency is critical, or a specific sequence must be followed.\n\nThink of yourself as exploring a path: a narrow bridge with cliffs needs specific guardrails (low freedom), while an open field allows many routes (high freedom).\n\n### Anatomy of a Skill\n\nEvery skill consists of a required SKILL.md file and optional bundled resources:\n\n```\nskill-name/\n├── SKILL.md (required)\n│ ├── YAML frontmatter metadata (required)\n│ │ ├── name: (required)\n│ │ └── description: (required)\n│ └── Markdown instructions (required)\n└── Bundled Resources (optional)\n ├── scripts/ - Executable code (Python/Bash/etc.)\n ├── references/ - Documentation intended to be loaded into context as needed\n └── assets/ - Files used in output (templates, icons, fonts, etc.)\n```\n\n#### SKILL.md (required)\n\nEvery SKILL.md consists of:\n\n- **Frontmatter** (YAML): Contains `name` and `description` fields. These are the only fields you read to determine when the skill gets used, thus it is very important to be clear and comprehensive in describing what the skill is, and when it should be used.\n- **Body** (Markdown): Instructions and guidance for using the skill. Only loaded AFTER the skill triggers (if at all).\n\n#### Bundled Resources (optional)\n\n##### Scripts (`scripts/`)\n\nExecutable code for tasks that require deterministic reliability or are repeatedly rewritten.\n\n- **When to include**: When the same code is being rewritten repeatedly or deterministic reliability is needed\n- **Example**: `scripts/rotate_pdf.sh` for PDF rotation tasks\n- **Benefits**: Token efficient, deterministic, may be executed without loading into context\n- **Note**: Scripts may still need to be read by you for patching or environment-specific adjustments\n\n##### References (`references/`)\n\nDocumentation and reference material intended to be loaded as needed into context to inform your process and thinking.\n\n- **When to include**: For documentation that you should reference while working\n- **Examples**: `references/finance.md` for financial schemas, `references/mnda.md` for company NDA template, `references/policies.md` for company policies, `references/api_docs.md` for API specifications\n- **Use cases**: Database schemas, API documentation, domain knowledge, company policies, detailed workflow guides\n- **Benefits**: Keeps SKILL.md lean, loaded only when you determine it's needed\n- **Best practice**: If files are large (>10k words), include grep search patterns in SKILL.md\n- **Avoid duplication**: Information should live in either SKILL.md or references files, not both. Prefer references files for detailed information unless it's truly core to the skill—this keeps SKILL.md lean while making information discoverable without hogging the context window. Keep only essential procedural instructions and workflow guidance in SKILL.md; move detailed reference material, schemas, and examples to references files.\n\n##### Assets (`assets/`)\n\nFiles not intended to be loaded into context, but rather used within the output you produce.\n\n- **When to include**: When the skill needs files that will be used in the final output\n- **Examples**: `assets/logo.png` for brand assets, `assets/slides.pptx` for PowerPoint templates, `assets/frontend-template/` for HTML/React boilerplate, `assets/font.ttf` for typography\n- **Use cases**: Templates, images, icons, boilerplate code, fonts, sample documents that get copied or modified\n- **Benefits**: Separates output resources from documentation, enables you to use files without loading them into context\n\n#### What to Not Include in a Skill\n\nA skill should only contain essential files that directly support its functionality. Do NOT create extraneous documentation or auxiliary files, including:\n\n- README.md\n- INSTALLATION_GUIDE.md\n- QUICK_REFERENCE.md\n- CHANGELOG.md\n- etc.\n\nThe skill should only contain the information needed for an AI agent to do the job at hand. It should not contain auxilary context about the process that went into creating it, setup and testing procedures, user-facing documentation, etc. Creating additional documentation files just adds clutter and confusion.\n\n### Progressive Disclosure Design Principle\n\nSkills use a three-level loading system to manage context efficiently:\n\n1. **Metadata (name + description)** - Always in context (~100 words)\n2. **SKILL.md body** - When skill triggers (<5k words)\n3. **Bundled resources** - As needed by Claude (Unlimited because scripts can be executed without reading into context window)\n\n#### Progressive Disclosure Patterns\n\nKeep SKILL.md body to the essentials and under 500 lines to minimize context bloat. Split content into separate files when approaching this limit. When splitting out content into other files, it is very important to reference them from SKILL.md and describe clearly when to read them, to ensure the reader of the skill knows they exist and when to use them.\n\n**Key principle:** When a skill supports multiple variations, frameworks, or options, keep only the core workflow and selection guidance in SKILL.md. Move variant-specific details (patterns, examples, configuration) into separate reference files.\n\n**Pattern 1: High-level guide with references**\n\n```markdown\n# PDF Processing\n\n## Quick start\n\nExtract text with pdfplumber:\n[code example]\n\n## Advanced features\n\n- **Form filling**: See [FORMS.md](FORMS.md) for complete guide\n- **API reference**: See [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md) for all methods\n- **Examples**: See [EXAMPLES.md](EXAMPLES.md) for common patterns\n```\n\nYou load FORMS.md, REFERENCE.md, or EXAMPLES.md only when needed.\n\n**Pattern 2: Domain-specific organization**\n\nFor Skills with multiple domains, organize content by domain to avoid loading irrelevant context:\n\n```\nbigquery-skill/\n├── SKILL.md (overview and navigation)\n└── reference/\n ├── finance.md (revenue, billing metrics)\n ├── sales.md (opportunities, pipeline)\n ├── product.md (API usage, features)\n └── marketing.md (campaigns, attribution)\n```\n\nWhen a user asks about sales metrics, you only read sales.md.\n\nSimilarly, for skills supporting multiple frameworks or variants, organize by variant:\n\n```\ncloud-deploy/\n├── SKILL.md (workflow + provider selection)\n└── references/\n ├── aws.md (AWS deployment patterns)\n ├── gcp.md (GCP deployment patterns)\n └── azure.md (Azure deployment patterns)\n```\n\nWhen the user chooses AWS, you only read aws.md.\n\n**Pattern 3: Conditional details**\n\nShow basic content, link to advanced content:\n\n```markdown\n# DOCX Processing\n\n## Creating documents\n\nUse docx-js for new documents. See [DOCX-JS.md](DOCX-JS.md).\n\n## Editing documents\n\nFor simple edits, modify the XML directly.\n\n**For tracked changes**: See [REDLINING.md](REDLINING.md)\n**For OOXML details**: See [OOXML.md](OOXML.md)\n```\n\nYou read REDLINING.md or OOXML.md only when the user needs those features.\n\n**Important guidelines:**\n\n- **Avoid deeply nested references** - Keep references one level deep from SKILL.md. All reference files should link directly from SKILL.md.\n- **Structure longer reference files** - For files longer than 100 lines, include a table of contents at the top so you can see the full scope when previewing.\n\n## Skill Creation Process\n\nSkill creation involves these steps:\n\n1. Understand the skill with concrete examples\n2. Plan reusable skill contents (scripts, references, assets)\n3. Initialize the skill\n4. Edit the skill (implement resources and write SKILL.md)\n5. Iterate based on real usage\n\nFollow these steps in order, skipping only if there is a clear reason why they are not applicable.\n\n### Step 1: Understanding the Skill with Concrete Examples\n\nSkip this step only when the skill's usage patterns are already clearly understood. It remains valuable even when working with an existing skill.\n\nTo create an effective skill, clearly understand concrete examples of how the skill will be used. This understanding can come from either direct user examples or generated examples that are validated with user feedback.\n\nFor example, when building an edit-image skill, relevant questions include:\n\n- \"What functionality should the edit-image skill support? Editing, rotating, anything else?\"\n- \"Can you give some examples of how this skill would be used?\"\n- \"I can imagine users asking for things like 'Remove the red-eye from this image' or 'Rotate this image'. Are there other ways you imagine this skill being used?\"\n- \"What would a user say that should trigger this skill?\"\n\nTo avoid overwhelming users, avoid asking too many questions in a single message. Start with the most important questions and follow up as needed for better effectiveness.\n\nConclude this step when there is a clear sense of the functionality the skill should support.\n\n### Step 2: Planning the Reusable Skill Contents\n\nTo turn concrete examples into an effective skill, analyze each example by:\n\n1. Considering how to execute on the example from scratch\n2. Identifying what scripts, references, and assets would be helpful when executing these workflows repeatedly\n\nExample: When building an `edit-pdf` skill to handle queries like \"Help me rotate this PDF,\" the analysis shows:\n\n1. Rotating a PDF requires re-writing the same code each time\n2. A `scripts/rotate_pdf.sh` script would be helpful to store in the skill\n\nExample: When designing a `build-frontend-webapp` skill for queries like \"Build me a todo app\" or \"Build me a dashboard to track my steps,\" the analysis shows:\n\n1. Writing a frontend webapp requires the same boilerplate HTML/React each time\n2. An `assets/hello-world/` template containing the boilerplate HTML/React project files would be helpful to store in the skill\n\nExample: When building a `query-bigquery` skill to handle queries like \"How many users have logged in today?\" the analysis shows:\n\n1. Querying BigQuery requires re-discovering the table schemas and relationships each time\n2. A `references/schema.md` file documenting the table schemas would be helpful to store in the skill\n\nTo establish the skill's contents, analyze each concrete example to create a list of the reusable resources to include: scripts, references, and assets.\n\n### Step 3: Initializing the Skill\n\nAt this point, it is time to actually create the skill.\n\nSkip this step only if the skill being developed already exists, and iteration or packaging is needed. In this case, continue to the next step.\n\n#### Skill Naming Convention\n\n**Always use verb-based names** for skills to clearly communicate what action the skill performs:\n\n- ✅ Good: `execute-plan`, `create-report`, `analyze-logs`, `deploy-app`\n- ❌ Bad: `plan-executor`, `report-creator`, `log-analyzer`, `app-deployer`\n\nVerb-first naming makes it immediately clear what the skill does and follows the imperative/infinitive form used throughout the skill instructions.\n\n#### Skill Location\n\n**Default: Create project-local skills unless the user explicitly requests a global skill.**\n\nWhen creating a new skill from scratch, create it in the project-local skills directory:\n\n- **Project-local (default)**: `{{local_skills_path}}//` - Skills are project-specific and don't affect other projects. This is the safe default for most skills.\n- **Global (only when explicitly requested)**: `{{global_skills_path}}//` - Skills are available across all projects. Only use this location when the user explicitly asks for a global skill or when the skill is truly reusable across all projects.\n\nThe structure should include:\n\n- `SKILL.md` with YAML frontmatter (name, description) and markdown body\n- `scripts/` directory for executable code (e.g., `process.sh`, `validate.sh`)\n- `references/` directory for documentation loaded as needed\n- `assets/` directory for files used in output\n\nExample initialization (default project-local):\n\n```bash\nmkdir -p {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/{scripts,references,assets}\ncat > {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/SKILL.md << 'EOF'\n---\nname: edit-pdf\ndescription: TODO - Describe what this skill does and when to use it\n---\n\n# Edit PDF\n\nTODO - Add skill instructions here\nEOF\n\ncat > {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh << 'EOF'\n#!/bin/bash\n# Rotate PDF using pdftk\npdftk \"$1\" cat 1-endright output \"$2\"\nEOF\n\nchmod +x {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh\n```\n\nIf the user explicitly requests a global skill, use this instead:\n\n```bash\nmkdir -p {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/{scripts,references,assets}\ncat > {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/SKILL.md << 'EOF'\n---\nname: edit-pdf\ndescription: TODO - Describe what this skill does and when to use it\n---\n\n# Edit PDF\n\nTODO - Add skill instructions here\nEOF\n\ncat > {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh << 'EOF'\n#!/bin/bash\n# Rotate PDF using pdftk\npdftk \"$1\" cat 1-endright output \"$2\"\nEOF\n\nchmod +x {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh\n```\n\nAfter initialization, customize the generated files as needed.\n\n### Step 4: Edit the Skill\n\nWhen editing the (newly-generated or existing) skill, remember that the skill is being created for another AI agent instance to use. Include information that would be beneficial and non-obvious. Consider what procedural knowledge, domain-specific details, or reusable assets would help another agent instance execute these tasks more effectively.\n\n#### Learn Proven Design Patterns\n\nConsult these helpful guides based on your skill's needs:\n\n- **Multi-step processes**: See references/workflows.md for sequential workflows and conditional logic\n- **Specific output formats or quality standards**: See references/output-patterns.md for template and example patterns\n\nThese files contain established best practices for effective skill design.\n\n#### Start with Reusable Skill Contents\n\nTo begin implementation, start with the reusable resources identified above: `scripts/`, `references/`, and `assets/` files. Note that this step may require user input. For example, when implementing a `brand-guidelines` skill, the user may need to provide brand assets or templates to store in `assets/`, or documentation to store in `references/`.\n\nAdded scripts must be tested by actually running them to ensure there are no bugs and that the output matches what is expected. If there are many similar scripts, only a representative sample needs to be tested to ensure confidence that they all work while balancing time to completion.\n\nAny example files and directories not needed for the skill should be deleted.\n\n#### Update SKILL.md\n\n**Writing Guidelines:** Always use imperative/infinitive form.\n\n##### Frontmatter\n\nWrite the YAML frontmatter with `name` and `description`:\n\n- `name`: The skill name\n- `description`: This is the primary triggering mechanism for your skill, and helps you understand when to use the skill.\n - Include both what the Skill does and specific triggers/contexts for when to use it.\n - Include all \"when to use\" information here - Not in the body. The body is only loaded after triggering, so \"When to Use This Skill\" sections in the body are not helpful.\n - Example description for a `docx` skill: \"Comprehensive document creation, editing, and analysis with support for tracked changes, comments, formatting preservation, and text extraction. Use when you need to work with professional documents (.docx files) for: (1) Creating new documents, (2) Modifying or editing content, (3) Working with tracked changes, (4) Adding comments, or any other document tasks\"\n\nDo not include any other fields in YAML frontmatter.\n\n##### Body\n\nWrite instructions for using the skill and its bundled resources.\n\n#### Loading the New Skill\n\nOnce the skill is complete, **suggest to the user that they start a new session** to load the newly created skill. Skills are loaded at the beginning of each session, so the new skill will not be available in the current session. Starting a new session ensures the skill is properly registered and available for use.\n\n### Step 5: Iterate\n\nAfter testing the skill, users may request improvements. Often this happens right after using the skill, with fresh context of how the skill performed.\n\n**Iteration workflow:**\n\n1. Use the skill on real tasks\n2. Notice struggles or inefficiencies\n3. Identify how SKILL.md or bundled resources should be updated\n4. Implement changes and test again\n","crates/forge_repo/src/skills/execute-plan/SKILL.md":"---\nname: execute-plan\ndescription: Execute structured task plans with status tracking.

This has been a recurring request in issues #123 and #456.\n\n## Changes\n- Implemented semantic search using vector embeddings\n- Integrated with existing search interface\n- Added support for multiple concurrent queries with result aggregation\n- Configurable search scope (entire codebase or specific directories)\n\n### Key Implementation Details\nUses OpenAI embeddings for code representation and cosine similarity for matching. Index is built incrementally to support large codebases. Search results are reranked based on code context and usage patterns.\n\n## Use Cases\n- Find authentication flow without knowing exact function names\n- Locate retry logic across the codebase\n- Search for \"database connection\" patterns\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Run the search service\nnpm run search:dev\n\n# Test semantic queries\ncurl -X POST http://localhost:3000/search \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d '{\"query\": \"user authentication\"}'\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #123, #456\n- Documentation: /docs/semantic-search.md\n```\n\n**Example 2: Bug Fix**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nFix database connection timeout that caused service to hang indefinitely when database became unavailable.\n\n## Context\nService would hang indefinitely when database became unavailable, requiring manual restart. This was reported in production incident #789 and affected multiple users.\n\n## Changes\n- Added configurable connection timeout (default: 30 seconds)\n- Implemented exponential backoff retry logic (max 5 retries)\n- Improved error messages with specific failure reasons\n- Added circuit breaker pattern to prevent cascading failures\n\n### Key Implementation Details\nTimeout is applied at the connection pool level. Backoff strategy: 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s. Circuit breaker opens after 5 consecutive failures and resets after 60 seconds.\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Simulate database failure\ndocker-compose stop db\n\n# Verify timeout and retry behavior\nnpm test -- tests/integration/connection-timeout.test.ts\n\n# Verify circuit breaker activation\ncurl http://localhost:3000/health # Should return 503 after circuit opens\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #789, #890\n- Incident report: /incidents/2024-01-15-db-timeout.md\n```\n\n**Example 3: Performance Improvement**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nOptimize image processing pipeline to reduce memory usage by 60% and improve throughput by 2.5x.\n\n## Context\nCurrent image processing implementation loads entire images into memory, causing OOM errors with large files and limiting throughput. This was identified as a performance bottleneck in profiling session #123.\n\n## Changes\n- Implemented streaming image processing using chunked reading\n- Added parallel processing for multiple images\n- Optimized memory allocation with object pooling\n- Added caching for frequently accessed image metadata\n\n### Key Implementation Details\nUses Node.js streams for memory-efficient processing. Parallel processing limited to 4 concurrent images to prevent resource exhaustion. Object pool reduces GC pressure by reusing buffers.\n\n## Use Cases\n- Process large images (>100MB) without OOM errors\n- Batch process thousands of images efficiently\n- Reduced memory footprint allows higher concurrent user load\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Run performance benchmarks\nnpm run benchmark\n\n# Test with large files\nnode tests/performance/large-files.test.js\n\n# Verify memory usage\nnode --inspect tests/memory-usage.js\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #456\n- Performance report: /docs/performance/2024-01-image-processing.md\n```\n\n**Example 4: Refactor**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nRefactor authentication module to use clean architecture patterns, improving testability and reducing coupling.\n\n## Context\nAuthentication module had tight coupling between business logic and infrastructure, making it difficult to test and modify. This was identified in technical debt review #234.\n\n## Changes\n- Separated business logic from infrastructure dependencies\n- Introduced repository pattern for data access\n- Added service layer for authentication operations\n- Extracted interfaces for better mocking in tests\n\n### Key Implementation Details\nBusiness logic now depends on interfaces rather than concrete implementations. Infrastructure (database, cache) is injected as dependencies. All services are unit-testable without external dependencies.\n\n## Use Cases\n- Easier to add new authentication providers (OAuth, SAML)\n- Simpler to mock for unit tests\n- Clear separation of concerns improves maintainability\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Unit tests (no database required)\nnpm test tests/unit/auth/\n\n# Integration tests (with real database)\nnpm test tests/integration/auth/\n\n# Verify all existing functionality still works\nnpm run e2e\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #234\n- Architecture doc: /docs/architecture/auth-module.md\n```\n\n**Example 5: Simple Fix (Minimal but Complete)**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nFix typo in user welcome email template that caused incorrect company name to display.\n\n## Context\nUsers were seeing \"Welcome to [Wrong Company]\" instead of the correct company name.

For example:\n\n **Good:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n User::default().age(12).is_happy(true).name(\"John\")\n User::new(\"Job\").age(12).is_happy()\n User::test() // Special test constructor\n ```\n\n **Bad:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n User {name: \"John\".to_string(), is_happy: true, age: 12}\n User::with_name(\"Job\") // Bad name, should stick to User::new() or User::test()\n ```\n\n- Use `unwrap()` unless the error information is useful. Use `expect` instead of `panic!` when error message is useful. For example:\n\n **Good:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n users.first().expect(\"List should not be empty\")\n ```\n\n **Bad:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n if let Some(user) = users.first() {\n // ...\n } else {\n panic!(\"List should not be empty\")\n }\n ```\n\n- Prefer using `assert_eq` on full objects instead of asserting each field:\n\n **Good:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n assert_eq!(actual, expected);\n ```\n\n **Bad:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n assert_eq!(actual.a, expected.a);\n assert_eq!(actual.b, expected.b);\n ```\n\n## Verification\n\nAlways verify changes by running tests and linting the codebase\n\n1. Run crate specific tests to ensure they pass.\n\n ```\n cargo insta test --accept\n ```\n\n2. **Build Guidelines**:\n - **NEVER** run `cargo build --release` unless absolutely necessary (e.g., performance testing, creating binaries for distribution)\n - For verification, use `cargo check` (fastest), `cargo insta test`, or `cargo build` (debug mode)\n - Release builds take significantly longer and are rarely needed for development verification\n\n## Writing Domain Types\n\n- Use `derive_setters` to derive setters and use the `strip_option` and the `into` attributes on the struct types.\n\n## Documentation\n\n- **Always** write Rust docs (`///`) for all public methods, functions, structs, enums, and traits.\n- Document parameters with `# Arguments` and errors with `# Errors` sections when applicable.\n- **Do not include code examples** - docs are for LLMs, not humans. Focus on clear, concise functionality descriptions.\n\n## Refactoring\n\n- If asked to fix failing tests, always confirm whether to update the implementation or the tests.\n\n## Git Operations\n\n- Safely assume git is pre-installed\n- Safely assume github cli (gh) is pre-installed\n- Always use `Co-Authored-By: ForgeCode ` for git commits and Github comments\n\n## Service Implementation Guidelines\n\nServices should follow clean architecture principles and maintain clear separation of concerns:\n\n### Core Principles\n\n- **No service-to-service dependencies**: Services should never depend on other services directly\n- **Infrastructure dependency**: Services should depend only on infrastructure abstractions when needed\n- **Single type parameter**: Services should take at most one generic type parameter for infrastructure\n- **No trait objects**: Avoid `Box` - use concrete types and generics instead\n- **Constructor pattern**: Implement `new()` without type bounds - apply bounds only on methods that need them\n- **Compose dependencies**: Use the `+` operator to combine multiple infrastructure traits into a single bound\n- **Arc for infrastructure**: Store infrastructure as `Arc` for cheap cloning and shared ownership\n- **Tuple struct pattern**: For simple services with single dependency, use tuple structs `struct Service(Arc)`\n\n### Examples\n\n#### Simple Service (No Infrastructure)\n\n```rust,ignore\npub struct UserValidationService;\n\nimpl UserValidationService {\n pub fn new() -> Self { ... }\n\n pub fn validate_email(&self, email: &str) -> Result<()> {\n // Validation logic here\n ...\n }\n\n pub fn validate_age(&self, age: u32) -> Result<()> {\n // Age validation logic here\n ...\n }\n}\n```\n\n#### Service with Infrastructure Dependency\n\n```rust,ignore\n// Infrastructure trait (defined in infrastructure layer)\npub trait UserRepository {\n fn find_by_email(&self, email: &str) -> Result>;\n fn save(&self, user: &User) -> Result<()>;\n}\n\n// Service with single generic parameter using Arc\npub struct UserService {\n repository: Arc,\n}\n\nimpl UserService {\n // Constructor without type bounds, takes Arc\n pub fn new(repository: Arc) -> Self { ... }\n}\n\nimpl UserService {\n // Business logic methods have type bounds where needed\n pub fn create_user(&self, email: &str, name: &str) -> Result { ... }\n pub fn find_user(&self, email: &str) -> Result> { ... }\n}\n```\n\n#### Tuple Struct Pattern for Simple Services\n\n```rust,ignore\n// Infrastructure traits\npub trait FileReader {\n async fn read_file(&self, path: &Path) -> Result;\n}\n\npub trait Environment {\n fn max_file_size(&self) -> u64;\n}\n\n// Tuple struct for simple single dependency service\npub struct FileService(Arc);\n\nimpl FileService {\n // Constructor without bounds\n pub fn new(infra: Arc) -> Self { ... }\n}\n\nimpl FileService {\n // Business logic methods with composed trait bounds\n pub async fn read_with_validation(&self, path: &Path) -> Result { ... }\n}\n```\n\n### Anti-patterns to Avoid\n\n```rust,ignore\n// BAD: Service depending on another service\npub struct BadUserService {\n repository: R,\n email_service: E, // Don't do this!\n}\n\n// BAD: Using trait objects\npub struct BadUserService {\n repository: Box, // Avoid Box\n}\n\n// BAD: Multiple infrastructure dependencies with separate type parameters\npub struct BadUserService {\n repository: R,\n cache: C,\n logger: L, // Too many generic parameters - hard to use and test\n}\n\nimpl BadUserService {\n // BAD: Constructor with type bounds makes it hard to use\n pub fn new(repository: R, cache: C, logger: L) -> Self { ... }\n}\n\n// BAD: Usage becomes cumbersome\nlet service = BadUserService::::new(...);\n```\n","isInternal":false,"tokens":1727,"sizeBytes":7331},{"name":"SKILL.md","path":".forge/skills/create-agent/SKILL.md","rawUrl":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tailcallhq/forgecode/HEAD/.forge/skills/create-agent/SKILL.md","title":"create-agent","category":"anthropic-skill","format":"markdown","content":"---\nname: create-agent\ndescription: Create new agents for the code-forge application.

Use when users need to add new commands, modify existing commands, or understand the command file structure. Supports special command tags like and for automated workflows.\n---\n\n# Create Commands\n\nCreate and manage commands for the code-forge application. Commands are modular workflows that can be invoked to perform specific tasks.\n\n## File Location\n\n**CRITICAL**: All command files must be created in the `/.forge/commands` directory, where `` is the current working directory of your code-forge project.\n\n- **Directory**: `/.forge/commands`\n- **File format**: `{command-name}.md`\n- **Example**: If your project is at `/home/user/my-project`, commands go in `/home/user/my-project/.forge/commands/`\n\nThis is the only location where forge will discover and load custom commands.\n\n## Command File Structure\n\nEvery command file must have:\n\n1. **YAML Frontmatter** (required):\n - `name`: Command identifier (use hyphens for multi-word names)\n - `description`: What the command does\n\n2. **Command Body** (required):\n - List of steps to execute\n - Special tags for automated workflows\n - Clear instructions for each step\n\n### Example Command File\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: check\ndescription: Checks if the code is ready to be committed\n---\n\n- Run the `lint` and `test` commands and verify if everything is fine.\n cargo +nightly fmt --all; cargo +nightly clippy --fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --workspace\n cargo insta test --accept --unreferenced=delete\n- Fix every issue found in the process\n```\n\n### Complete Sample Command\n\nThis sample demonstrates all three tag types:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: sample-command\ndescription: Sample command demonstrating the command file structure\n---\n\nThis is a sample command that demonstrates the structure of command files.\n\n- First step: Perform an initial action\n echo \"Running linting...\"\n- Second step: Execute tests\n echo \"Running tests...\"\n- Third step: Complete the workflow\n echo \"Workflow complete!\"\n- Final step: Verify everything worked correctly\n```\n\n## Creating a New Command\n\n### Step 1: Determine Command Purpose\n\nIdentify what the command should accomplish:\n\n- What task will it perform?\n- What steps are involved?\n- Are there automated checks or tests needed?\n- What should the user do with the results?\n\n### Step 2: Choose Command Name\n\nUse verb-based names with hyphens for multi-word commands:\n\n- Good: `check`, `fixme`, `pr-description`, `run-tests`\n- Bad: `checker`, `fixing`, `PRdescription`\n\n### Step 3: Write the Command File\n\nCreate the file in the `/.forge/commands` directory with the format: `{command-name}.md`\n\n**IMPORTANT**: The file MUST be in `/.forge/commands` where `` is your current working directory. Commands placed anywhere else will not be discovered by forge.\n\n#### Frontmatter\n\n```yaml\n---\nname: your-command-name\ndescription: Clear, concise description of what this command does\n---\n```\n\n#### Command Body\n\nUse markdown lists for steps. Each step should:\n\n- Start with a clear action verb\n- Be specific and actionable\n- Include context about what to do\n\n## Special Command Tags\n\nUse these tags for automated workflows:\n\n### `` Tag\n\nFor linting/formatting commands:\n\n```markdown\ncargo +nightly fmt --all; cargo +nightly clippy --fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --workspace\n```\n\n### `` Tag\n\nFor testing commands:\n\n```markdown\ncargo insta test --accept --unreferenced=delete\n```\n\n### `` Tag\n\nFor general shell commands (not linting or testing):\n\n```markdown\nrm -rf target/debug\n```\n\n### Using Tags\n\nTags should be placed on their own line after the step description:\n\n```markdown\n- Run linting and testing\n your-lint-command\n your-test-command\n```\n\n## Command Types\n\n### Simple Commands\n\nSingle-step or instruction-only commands:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: fixme\ndescription: Looks for all the fixme comments in the code and attempts to fix them\n---\n\nFind all the FIXME comments in source-code files and attempt to fix them.\n```\n\n### Multi-Step Commands\n\nCommands with multiple sequential steps:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: pr-description\ndescription: Updates the description of the PR\n---\n\n- I have created a Pull Request with all the accepted changes\n- Understand the current PR deeply using the GH CLI and update the PR title and description\n- Make sure the title follows conventional commits standard\n- Top-level summary should contain 2-3 lines about the core functionality improvements\n```\n\n### Automated Workflow Commands\n\nCommands that include automated checks:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: check\ndescription: Checks if the code is ready to be committed\n---\n\n- Run the `lint` and `test` commands and verify if everything is fine.\n cargo +nightly fmt --all; cargo +nightly clippy --fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --workspace\n cargo insta test --accept --unreferenced=delete\n- Fix every issue found in the process\n```\n\n## Command Templates\n\n### Simple Command Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: simple-command\ndescription: Does one specific thing\n---\n\nSingle clear instruction or description.\n```\n\n### Automated Workflow Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: automated-workflow\ndescription: Runs automated checks and performs follow-up actions\n---\n\n- Run automated checks\n your-lint-command\n your-test-command\n- Review and fix any issues found\n- Complete the workflow\n```\n\n### Multi-Step Workflow Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: multi-step-workflow\ndescription: Performs multiple sequential steps\n---\n\n- First step with clear action\n- Second step with context\n- Third step with specific requirements\n- Final step with verification\n```\n\n### Git Workflow Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: git-workflow\ndescription: Performs git operations\n---\n\n- Stage changes\n git add .\n- Run pre-commit checks\n cargo fmt --all\n cargo test\n- Commit with message\n git commit -m \"your commit message\"\n- Push to remote\n git push\n```\n\n## Best Practices\n\n### Naming\n\n- Use lowercase letters\n- Use hyphens to separate words\n- Use verb-based names (imperative form)\n- Keep names short but descriptive\n\n### Descriptions\n\n- Be clear and concise\n- Describe what the command does, not how\n- Include the main purpose and key outcomes\n- Avoid implementation details\n\n### Command Steps\n\n- Use numbered lists for sequential steps\n- Start each step with an action verb\n- Be specific about what to do\n- Include context for complex steps\n- Use present tense\n\n### Special Tags\n\n- Place tags on their own line after the step\n- Only use ``, ``, and `` tags\n- Include complete commands that can be executed\n- Use appropriate flags for your workflow\n\n## Common Patterns\n\n### Git Workflow Commands\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: commit-check\ndescription: Verifies code is ready to commit\n---\n\n- Run linting and tests\n cargo fmt --all; cargo clippy --fix --allow-staged\n cargo test\n- Review and fix any issues\n- Stage all changes\n```\n\n### Documentation Commands\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: update-docs\ndescription: Updates documentation for recent changes\n---\n\n- Review recent code changes\n- Identify functions or modules that need documentation\n- Update inline documentation comments\n- Regenerate any auto-generated docs\n- Verify documentation builds successfully\n```\n\n### Cleanup Commands\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: cleanup\ndescription: Cleans up temporary files and artifacts\n---\n\n- Remove build artifacts\n rm -rf target/debug\n- Remove temporary files\n find . -name \"*.tmp\" -delete\n- Clean up dependency caches if needed\n- Verify the project still builds\n```\n\n### Build and Deploy Commands\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: build-deploy\ndescription: Builds the project and deploys to staging\n---\n\n- Build the project in release mode\n cargo build --release\n- Run integration tests\n cargo test --test integration\n- Build Docker image\n docker build -t myapp:latest .\n- Tag image for staging\n docker tag myapp:latest myapp:staging\n- Push to registry\n docker push myapp:staging\n-

linting/formatting commands\n- `` - For testing commands\n- `` - For general shell commands\n\n### Naming Rules\n\n- Lowercase only\n- Hyphens for multi-word names\n- Verb-based (imperative form)\n- Keep it short but descriptive\n\n### Step Guidelines\n\n- Start with action verb\n- Be specific\n- Include context for complex steps\n- Use present tense\n- Keep steps focused\n\n### When to Use Tags\n\n- Use `` when running formatters or linters\n- Use `` when running test suites\n- Use `` for other shell commands\n- Place tags on their own line after step description\n- Don't use tags if the step is just an instruction\n\n## Testing Your Command\n\nAfter creating a command, test it by:\n\n1. **Syntax Check**: Verify YAML is valid\n\n ```bash\n # If you have yamllint installed\n yamllint path/to/your-command.md\n ```\n\n2. **Manual Review**: Read through the command\n - Does each step make sense?\n - Is the order logical?\n - Are all commands complete?\n\n3. **Execution Test**: Run the command\n - Does each step execute successfully?\n - Is the output as expected?\n - Are there any errors?\n\n4. **Forge Recognition Test**: Verify the command is recognized by forge\n\n ```bash\n # Option 1: List all commands (custom commands marked as type: custom)\n forge list command\n\n # Option 2: List only custom commands\n forge list cmd\n\n # Option 3: List only custom commands (newer versions)\n forge list command --custom\n ```\n\n - Does your command appear in the list?\n - Is the name correct?\n - Is the description correct?\n\n5. **Edge Cases**: Consider unusual scenarios\n - What happens if a step fails?\n - What if the environment is different?\n - What if files are missing?\n\n## Verification\n\nAfter creating a command:\n\n1. **Verify the file location**: Ensure the file is in `/.forge/commands` directory (CRITICAL - commands anywhere else will not be found)\n2. Check YAML frontmatter is valid (use `---` delimiters)\n3. Ensure the command name matches the filename (without .md)\n4. **Verify the command is recognized by forge**:\n\n ```bash\n # Option 1: List all commands (custom commands marked as type: custom)\n forge list command\n\n # Option 2: List only custom commands\n forge list cmd\n\n # Option 3: List only custom commands (newer versions)\n forge list command --custom\n ```\n\n Your new command should appear in the list with its name and description\n\n5. Test the command to ensure it works as expected\n6. Verify special tags are properly formatted\n\nIf your command doesn't appear in the list, check:\n\n- **File location**: File MUST be in `/.forge/commands` directory (this is the most common issue)\n- Filename matches the `name` field in frontmatter\n- YAML frontmatter is properly formatted with `---` delimiters\n- Both `name` and `description` fields are present\n\n## Getting Help\n\nIf you're unsure about something:\n\n- Review the examples in this skill\n- Follow the validation checklist\n- Test your command before finalizing","frontmatter":{"name":"create-command","description":"Create new commands for the code-forge application.

Use when the user asks to create a GitHub issue, file a bug report, submit a feature request, or open an issue in a GitHub repository.\n---\n\n# Create GitHub Issue\n\nCreate comprehensive GitHub issues using `gh issue create` by dynamically discovering and adhering to the repository's official issue templates.\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 1. Discover and Select Template\n\n**CRITICAL**: You must use the repository's official templates. Do not assume the structure.\n\n1. **List available templates**:\n ```bash\n ls .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/\n ```\n2. **Select the most appropriate template** based on the issue type (e.g., `bug_report.yml`, `feature_request.yml`).\n3. **Read the selected template** to understand its required fields, structure, and any title prefixes or default labels.\n ```bash\n cat .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/.yml\n ```\n\n### 2. Gather Context\n\nGather relevant information to fulfill the template requirements:\n\n```bash\n# Check current git status for context\ngit status\n\n# View recent commits if related to codebase changes\ngit log --oneline -10\n\n# Check if related issues exist\ngh issue list --search \"keyword\" --limit 10\n```\n\n### 3. Generate Markdown Body\n\n**MANDATORY**: Structure the issue body exactly as defined in the selected YAML template without exception.\n\n1. **Map YAML fields to Markdown**: Convert each field in the template (typically found under `body:`) into a Markdown section.\n2. **Use Headers**: Use the `label` or `id` from the YAML field as an H2 header (e.g., `## Bug Description`).\n3. **Respect Validation**: Ensure all fields marked as `required: true` in the YAML are populated with meaningful content.\n4. **Format Correctly**: Use code blocks (e.g., ` ```shell `, ` ```yaml `) for logs and configurations as suggested by the template's `render` attribute.\n\n### 4. Choose Labels\n\nSelect labels by inspecting `.github/labels.json`.\n\n- **Primary Label**: Always include a `type:` label that matches the issue type.\n- **Additional Labels**: Add relevant `state:`, `work:`, or `priority:` labels if they exist in the configuration.\n- **Constraint**: **Only use labels defined in `.github/labels.json`.**\n\n### 5. Create Title\n\nFollow the template's `title` field if it provides a prefix (e.g., `\"[Bug]: \"`).\n\n- **Be concise**: Keep under 70 characters.\n- **Use imperative mood**: \"Fix authentication timeout\" instead of \"Authentication is timing out\".\n- **Start with action verb**: Fix, Add, Improve, Update, Refactor.\n\n### 6. Execute Issue Creation\n\n**Step 1: Write body to temp file**\nUse the `write` tool to create `.forge/FORGE_ISSUE_BODY.md` with the structured Markdown content.\n\n**Step 2: Create issue**\n```bash\ngh issue create \\\n --title \"[Prefix]: Descriptive Title\" \\\n --body-file .forge/FORGE_ISSUE_BODY.md \\\n --label \"type: , work: \"\n```\n\n**Optional flags**:\n- `--assignee \"username\"`\n- `--milestone \"name\"`\n- `--draft` (For proposals or research)\n\n### 7. Finalize\n\nProvide the user with the generated issue URL and a brief summary of the created issue.\n\n## Guidelines\n\n- **No Exceptions**: You must follow the discovered template's structure exactly. If a template asks for \"Steps to Reproduce\", you must provide them.\n- **Dynamic Discovery**: Always read the files in `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/` and `.github/labels.json` first.

The system should support user registration, login, logout, and token refresh capabilities while maintaining security best practices.\n\n## Implementation Plan\n\n- [ ] 1. Set up authentication dependencies and configuration\n - Add JWT library (e.g., jsonwebtoken) and bcrypt for password hashing\n - Configure environment variables for JWT secrets and token expiration\n - Rationale: Establishes foundation for secure authentication\n - Dependencies: None - this is the first step\n\n- [ ] 2. Create user model and database schema\n - Define User entity with fields: id, email, password_hash, created_at, updated_at\n - Add unique constraint on email field\n - Create database migration for users table\n - Rationale: Provides data structure for storing user credentials\n - Dependencies: Database connection must be configured\n\n- [ ] 3. Implement password hashing service\n - Create service to hash passwords using bcrypt with appropriate salt rounds\n - Add password verification function\n - Include unit tests for hashing and verification\n - Rationale: Ensures passwords are never stored in plain text\n - Dependencies: User model must exist\n\n- [ ] 4. Build JWT token generation and validation\n - Create service to generate JWT tokens with user claims\n - Implement token verification and decoding logic\n - Add refresh token functionality with longer expiration\n - Rationale: Enables stateless authentication and session management\n - Dependencies: User model and environment configuration\n\n- [ ] 5. Create authentication endpoints\n - POST /auth/register - User registration with email/password\n - POST /auth/login - User login returning access and refresh tokens\n - POST /auth/logout - Invalidate user session\n - POST /auth/refresh - Generate new access token from refresh token\n - Rationale: Provides API interface for authentication operations\n - Dependencies: All services from previous steps\n\n- [ ] 6. Implement authentication middleware\n - Create middleware to validate JWT tokens on protected routes\n - Extract user information from valid tokens\n - Return 401 for invalid or expired tokens\n - Rationale: Protects routes requiring authentication\n - Dependencies: JWT validation service\n\n- [ ] 7. Add rate limiting for authentication endpoints\n - Implement rate limiting on login and registration endpoints\n - Configure appropriate limits (e.g., 5 attempts per 15 minutes)\n - Rationale: Prevents brute force attacks\n - Dependencies: Authentication endpoints must exist\n\n- [ ] 8. Write integration tests for authentication flow\n - Test complete registration → login → access protected route flow\n - Test token refresh mechanism\n - Test error cases (invalid credentials, expired tokens)\n - Rationale: Ensures entire authentication system works correctly\n - Dependencies: All implementation steps complete\n\n## Verification Criteria\n\n- User can successfully register with valid email and password\n- User can login and receive valid JWT tokens\n- Protected routes return 401 for unauthenticated requests\n- Protected routes allow access with valid JWT token\n- Tokens expire after configured duration\n- Refresh tokens can generate new access tokens\n- Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text\n- Rate limiting prevents excessive authentication attempts\n- All unit and integration tests pass\n- Security audit shows no critical vulnerabilities\n\n## Potential Risks and Mitigations\n\n1. **Token Secret Exposure**\n - Impact: If JWT secret is exposed, attackers can forge valid tokens\n - Likelihood: Medium\n - Mitigation: Store secrets in environment variables, never commit to repository, rotate secrets periodically\n - Contingency: Implement secret rotation mechanism and token revocation list\n\n2. **Weak Password Policy**\n - Impact: Users choose weak passwords that are easily compromised\n - Likelihood: High\n - Mitigation: Enforce minimum password requirements (length, complexity), implement password strength meter\n - Contingency: Add option to require password reset for weak passwords\n\n3. **Session Hijacking**\n - Impact: Attacker steals valid token and impersonates user\n - Likelihood: Medium\n - Mitigation: Use HTTPS only, implement short token expiration, add IP address validation\n - Contingency: Implement token revocation and force logout capability\n\n4. **Brute Force Attacks**\n - Impact: Attacker attempts many password combinations to gain access\n - Likelihood: High\n - Mitigation: Implement rate limiting, add CAPTCHA after failed attempts, temporary account lockout\n - Contingency: Monitor failed login attempts and alert on suspicious patterns\n\n## Alternative Approaches\n\n1. **Session-Based Authentication**\n - Description: Use traditional server-side sessions with cookies instead of JWT\n - Pros: Easier to invalidate sessions, better for server-rendered applications, no token size limitations\n - Cons: Requires session storage (Redis/database), harder to scale horizontally, not suitable for APIs consumed by multiple clients\n - Recommendation: Not chosen - JWT better suits stateless API architecture\n\n2. **OAuth 2.0 / Third-Party Authentication**\n - Description: Use OAuth providers (Google, GitHub) for authentication instead of custom system\n - Pros: No password management, better security through established providers, easier for users\n - Cons: Dependency on external services, requires API keys and setup, limited control over authentication flow\n - Recommendation: Consider as future enhancement alongside custom authentication\n\n3. **Passwordless Authentication**\n - Description: Use magic links or OTP sent via email/SMS instead of passwords\n - Pros: No password management, simpler user experience, eliminates weak password risk\n - Cons: Requires reliable email/SMS delivery, slower authentication flow, potential cost for SMS\n - Recommendation: Consider as alternative authentication method in future iteration\n\n## Assumptions\n\n- Application already has database connection configured\n- HTTPS/TLS is configured at infrastructure level\n- Email service is available for potential password reset features\n- Frontend application exists to consume authentication endpoints\n- Environment variable management system is in place\n\n## Dependencies\n\n- Database system (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar)\n- JWT library compatible with the programming language\n- Password hashing library (bcrypt or argon2)\n- HTTP server framework with middleware support\n- Environment configuration system\n\n## Notes\n\n- Consider implementing password reset functionality in a follow-up iteration\n- May want to add two-factor authentication (2FA) as security enhancement\n- Monitor token expiration times and adjust based on usage patterns\n- Plan for token revocation strategy if needed for security incidents\n","isInternal":false,"tokens":1373,"sizeBytes":6959},{"name":"plan-template.md","path":".forge/skills/create-plan/references/plan-template.md","rawUrl":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tailcallhq/forgecode/HEAD/.forge/skills/create-plan/references/plan-template.md","title":"References Skill","category":"anthropic-skill","format":"markdown","content":"# [Task Name]\n\n## Objective\n\n[Provide a clear, concise statement of what this plan aims to achieve.

Initial Assessment\n\nResearch the codebase to understand:\n\n- Project structure and organization\n- Relevant files and components - read thoroughly to understand complete flows\n- Existing patterns and conventions\n- Potential challenges and risks\n- Data flows from entry points to final usage\n\nUse `search`, `sem_search`, and `read` tools to examine the codebase. Use `sage` if deeper research is required for the use-case. Explicitly cite sources using `filepath:line` format in your plan.\n\n### 2. Create Strategic Plan\n\nGenerate a Markdown plan file in `plans/` directory with naming: `plans/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{task-name}-v{N}.md`\n\nExample: `plans/2025-11-24-add-auth-v1.md`\n\n### 3. Validate Plan\n\n**MANDATORY:** Run the validation script to ensure the plan meets all requirements:\n\n```bash\n./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-plan.sh plans/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{task-name}-v{N}.md\n```\n\nFix any errors or warnings and re-validate until the plan passes all checks.\n\n### 4.

This includes adding new commands, fixing CLI bugs, updating command options, or troubleshooting CLI-related issues.\n---\n\n# CLI Debug Skill\n\nThis skill provides a systematic workflow for debugging and verifying changes to the forge CLI application.\n\n## Core Principles\n\n1. **Always get latest docs first**: Run `--help` to see current commands and options\n2. **Use `-p` for testing**: Test forge by giving it tasks with the `-p` flag\n3. **Never commit**: This is for debugging only - don't commit changes\n4. **Clone conversations**: When debugging conversation bugs, clone the source conversation before reproducing\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 1. Build the Application\n\nAlways build in debug mode after making changes:\n\n```bash\ncargo build\n```\n\n**Never** use `cargo build --release` for debugging - it's significantly slower and unnecessary for verification.\n\n### 2. Get Latest Documentation\n\n**Always** start by checking the latest help to understand current commands and options:\n\n```bash\n# Main help - do this first\n./target/debug/forge --help\n\n# Command-specific help\n./target/debug/forge [COMMAND] --help\n\n# Subcommand help\n./target/debug/forge [COMMAND] [SUBCOMMAND] --help\n```\n\n### 3. Test with `-p` Flag\n\nUse the `-p` flag to give forge a task to complete without interactive mode:\n\n```bash\n# Test with a simple prompt\n./target/debug/forge -p \"create a hello world rust program\"\n\n# Test with specific functionality\n./target/debug/forge -p \"read the README.md file and summarize it\"\n\n# Test with complex tasks\n./target/debug/forge -p \"analyze the code structure and suggest improvements\"\n```\n\n### 4. Debug with Conversation Dumps\n\nWhen debugging prompts or conversation issues, use `conversation dump` to export conversations. The command automatically creates a timestamped file:\n\n```bash\n# Dump conversation as JSON (creates: YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS-dump.json)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump \n\n# Export as HTML for human-readable format (creates: YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS-dump.html)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump --html \n\n# Use dumped JSON to reproduce issues\n./target/debug/forge --conversation 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json\n```\n\n### 5. Clone Before Reproducing Bugs\n\n**Critical**: When a user provides a conversation with a bug, always clone it first:\n\n```bash\n# Clone the conversation\n./target/debug/forge conversation clone \n\n# This creates a new conversation ID - use that for testing\n./target/debug/forge --conversation-id \n\n# Keep cloning the source until the fix is verified\n# Never modify the original conversation\n```\n\n**Why clone?**\n\n- Preserves original bug evidence\n- Allows multiple reproduction attempts\n- Enables A/B testing of fixes\n- Keeps source conversation clean\n\n## Common Testing Patterns\n\n### Test New Features\n\n```bash\n# Build and test new command\ncargo build\n./target/debug/forge --help # Verify new command appears\n./target/debug/forge new-command --help # Check command docs\n./target/debug/forge -p \"test the new feature\"\n```\n\n### Reproduce Reported Bugs\n\n```bash\n# 1. Dump the conversation (creates timestamped JSON file)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump \n\n# 2. Clone it for testing (preserves original)\n./target/debug/forge conversation clone \n\n# 3. Reproduce with the cloned conversation\n./target/debug/forge --conversation-id -p \"reproduce the issue\"\n\n# 4. After fix, verify with new clone\n./target/debug/forge conversation clone \n./target/debug/forge --conversation-id -p \"verify fix\"\n```\n\n### Test Edge Cases\n\n```bash\n# Test with missing arguments\n./target/debug/forge command\n\n# Test with invalid input\n./target/debug/forge -p \"invalid task with special chars: <>|&\"\n\n# Test with boundary values\n./target/debug/forge -p \"create a file with a very long name...\"\n```\n\n### Debug Prompt Optimization\n\n```bash\n# 1. Dump conversation to analyze prompts (creates timestamped JSON)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump \n\n# 2. Review the conversation structure\ncat 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json | jq '.messages[] | {role, content}'\n\n# 3. Export as HTML for easier reading\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump --html \n\n# 4. Test modified prompts\n./target/debug/forge -p \"your optimized prompt here\"\n```\n\n## Integration with Development Workflow\n\n### After Code Changes\n\n1. **Build**: `cargo build`\n2. **Docs**: `./target/debug/forge --help` (verify documentation)\n3. **Test**: `./target/debug/forge -p \"relevant task\"`\n4. **Verify**: Check output matches expectations\n\n### Debugging a Bug Report\n\n1. **Clone**: `./target/debug/forge conversation clone `\n2. **Build**: `cargo build` (with potential fixes)\n3. **Test**: `./target/debug/forge --conversation-id -p \"reproduce\"`\n4. **Iterate**: Repeat until verified\n5. **Never commit** during debugging - only after full verification\n\n## Quick Reference\n\n```bash\n# Standard debug workflow\ncargo build\n./target/debug/forge --help # Always check docs first\n./target/debug/forge -p \"your test task\"\n\n# Dump conversation (creates timestamped file)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump \n# Output: 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json\n\n# Export as HTML for review\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump --html \n# Output: 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.html\n\n# Use dumped conversation\n./target/debug/forge --conversation 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json\n\n# Clone and test bug\n./target/debug/forge conversation clone \n./target/debug/forge --conversation-id -p \"reproduce bug\"\n\n# Debug prompts with jq (use actual filename)\ncat 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json | jq '.messages[] | {role, content}'\n\n# Test with verbose output\n./target/debug/forge --verbose -p \"test task\"\n```\n\n## Tips\n\n- **Always `--help` first**: Get latest docs before testing\n- **Use `-p` for testing**: Don't test interactively, use prompts\n- **Clone conversations**: Never modify original bug conversations\n- **Never commit**: This is for debugging only\n- **Dump creates files**: `dump` automatically creates timestamped files (no `>` needed)\n- **HTML exports**: Use `--html` flag for human-readable conversation views\n- **Use relative paths**: Binary is at `./target/debug/forge` from project root\n- **Check exit codes**: Use `echo $?` to verify exit codes\n- **Watch for warnings**: Build warnings often indicate issues\n","frontmatter":{"name":"debug-cli","description":"Use when users need to debug, modify, or extend the code-forge application's CLI commands, argument parsing, or CLI behavior.

When the correct resolution isn't clear from the diff, present numbered options to the user.\n\n## Import Conflicts\n\nWhen both branches modify import statements, merge both sets of imports:\n\n### Pattern: Combine and Deduplicate\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nimport { foo, bar } from './module';\nimport { baz } from './other';\n=======\nimport { foo, qux } from './module';\nimport { newThing } from './another';\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:** Merge all unique imports, group by module:\n\n```\nimport { foo, bar, qux } from './module';\nimport { baz } from './other';\nimport { newThing } from './another';\n```\n\n### Rust Imports\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nuse std::collections::HashMap;\nuse crate::domain::User;\n=======\nuse std::collections::HashSet;\nuse crate::domain::Account;\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:**\n\n```\nuse std::collections::{HashMap, HashSet};\nuse crate::domain::{Account, User};\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Combine all unique imports\n- Remove duplicates\n- Follow language-specific style (group by module, alphabetize)\n- Preserve any re-exports or aliases from both sides\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Merging imports by combining unique imports from both branches and grouping by module.\"\n\n## Test Conflicts\n\nTests should almost always include both changes, as tests are additive.\n\n### Pattern: Merge Test Cases\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\n#[test]\nfn test_user_creation() { ... }\n\n#[test]\nfn test_user_validation() { ... }\n=======\n#[test]\nfn test_user_creation() { ... }\n\n#[test]\nfn test_user_deletion() { ... }\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:** Include all tests (assuming test_user_creation is identical):\n\n```\n#[test]\nfn test_user_creation() { ... }\n\n#[test]\nfn test_user_validation() { ... }\n\n#[test]\nfn test_user_deletion() { ... }\n```\n\n### Test Setup/Fixtures Conflicts\n\nWhen both branches modify test fixtures, merge the changes:\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nfn setup() -> TestContext {\n TestContext {\n user: create_test_user(),\n admin: create_admin(),\n }\n}\n=======\nfn setup() -> TestContext {\n TestContext {\n user: create_test_user(),\n database: init_test_db(),\n }\n}\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:**\n\n```\nfn setup() -> TestContext {\n TestContext {\n user: create_test_user(),\n admin: create_admin(),\n database: init_test_db(),\n }\n}\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Keep all test cases unless they test the exact same thing\n- Merge test fixtures and setup functions\n- If test names conflict but test different things, rename one\n- Preserve all assertions from both sides\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Including all test cases from both branches and merging test fixtures.\"\n\n## Lock File Conflicts\n\nLock files (Cargo.lock, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, etc.) should be regenerated rather than manually resolved.\n\n### Pattern: Regenerate Lock File\n\n```bash\n# For Cargo.lock\ngit checkout --theirs Cargo.lock # or --ours, either works\ncargo update # or cargo build\n\n# For package-lock.json\ngit checkout --theirs package-lock.json\nnpm install\n\n# For yarn.lock\ngit checkout --theirs yarn.lock\nyarn install\n\n# For Gemfile.lock\ngit checkout --theirs Gemfile.lock\nbundle install\n\n# For poetry.lock\ngit checkout --theirs poetry.lock\npoetry lock --no-update\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Always regenerate, never manually merge\n- Choose either version (--ours or --theirs), doesn't matter\n- Run the package manager's update/install command\n- The result will include dependencies from both branches\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Regenerating lock file with package manager to include dependencies from both branches.\"\n\n## Configuration File Conflicts\n\nConfiguration files often need careful merging of both changes.\n\n### Pattern: Merge Configuration Values\n\n```yaml\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nserver:\n port: 8080\n timeout: 30\n max_connections: 100\n=======\nserver:\n port: 8080\n timeout: 60\n enable_https: true\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:**\n\n```yaml\nserver:\n port: 8080\n timeout: 60 # Prefer the newer/safer value\n max_connections: 100\n enable_https: true\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Include all configuration keys from both sides\n- When same key has different values, choose based on:\n - Newer value (if timestamp available)\n - Safer/more conservative value\n - Production-ready value\n - Document the choice in commit message\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Merging all config keys and choosing incoming value for 'timeout' as it's more recent.\"\n\n**When to ask the user**: If conflicting values have significant implications (e.g., security settings, API endpoints), present options:\n```\nConfig conflict in config.yaml for key 'timeout':\n\n**Option 1**: Keep current value (30 seconds)\n**Option 2**: Keep incoming value (60 seconds)\n**Option 3**: Provide a different value\n\nPlease select an option.\n```\n\n## Code Logic Conflicts\n\nWhen both branches modify the same function, carefully analyze the intent.\n\n### Pattern: Sequential Changes\n\nIf changes are independent and can coexist:\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nfn process(data: &str) -> Result {\n let cleaned = data.trim();\n validate(cleaned)?;\n Ok(cleaned.to_uppercase())\n}\n=======\nfn process(data: &str) -> Result {\n let cleaned = data.trim();\n if cleaned.is_empty() {\n return Err(Error::EmptyInput);\n }\n Ok(cleaned.to_uppercase())\n}\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:** Combine both validations:\n\n```\nfn process(data: &str) -> Result {\n let cleaned = data.trim();\n if cleaned.is_empty() {\n return Err(Error::EmptyInput);\n }\n validate(cleaned)?;\n Ok(cleaned.to_uppercase())\n}\n```\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging both validations as they check different conditions (emptiness and validation).\"\n\n### Pattern: Conflicting Logic\n\nIf changes represent different approaches:\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price * (1.0 + item.tax_rate)\n}\n=======\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price + item.tax_amount\n}\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:** Analyze which approach is correct:\n- Review PR/commit messages for context\n- Check which calculation matches business requirements\n- Consider running tests with both approaches\n- Choose one and document why in commit message\n\n**When to ask the user**: Present this as options when the correct approach isn't clear:\n\n```\nCode logic conflict in calculate_price function:\n\n<<<<<<< HEAD (Current Branch)\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price * (1.0 + item.tax_rate)\n}\n=======\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price + item.tax_amount\n}\n>>>>>>> feature-branch (Incoming Branch)\n\nThese represent different calculation methods:\n\n**Option 1**: Keep current branch - calculates tax as percentage (base_price * tax_rate)\n**Option 2**: Keep incoming branch - uses pre-calculated tax amount (base_price + tax_amount)\n**Option 3**: Ask you to clarify the correct business logic\n\nPlease select an option.\n```\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Choosing current branch approach as it calculates tax dynamically based on rate (per user selection).\"\n\n## Struct/Type Definition Conflicts\n\nMerge all fields from both branches.\n\n### Pattern: Merge Struct Fields\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\npub struct User {\n pub id: i64,\n pub name: String,\n pub email: String,\n pub created_at: DateTime,\n}\n=======\npub struct User {\n pub id: i64,\n pub name: String,\n pub role: UserRole,\n pub updated_at: DateTime,\n}\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:**\n\n```\npub struct User {\n pub id: i64,\n pub name: String,\n pub email: String,\n pub role: UserRole,\n pub created_at: DateTime,\n pub updated_at: DateTime,\n}\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Include all fields from both sides\n- If field types conflict, analyze which is more appropriate\n- Update all usages of the struct accordingly\n- Fix compilation errors after merging\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Including all fields from both branches in User struct.\"\n\n**When to ask the user**: If the same field has different types:\n```\nStruct conflict - field 'role' has different types:\n\n**Option 1**: Keep current type (role: String)\n**Option 2**: Keep incoming type (role: UserRole enum)\n**Option 3**: Provide more context\n\nPlease select an option.\n```\n\n## Documentation Conflicts\n\nMerge all documentation improvements.\n\n### Pattern: Combine Documentation\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\n/// Processes user input and returns validated data.\n/// \n/// # Arguments\n/// * `input` - The raw user input\n=======\n/// Processes user input and returns validated data.\n/// \n/// # Errors\n/// Returns `Error::InvalidInput` if validation fails\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:**\n\n```\n/// Processes user input and returns validated data.\n/// \n/// # Arguments\n/// * `input` - The raw user input\n/// \n/// # Errors\n/// Returns `Error::InvalidInput` if validation fails\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Preserve all documentation sections\n- If descriptions conflict, choose the more accurate/detailed one\n- Keep all examples from both sides\n- Maintain consistent formatting\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Combining all documentation sections from both branches.\"\n\n## Deleted File Special Cases\n\n### Pattern: File Renamed/Moved\n\nIf file was deleted on one branch but modified on another, and there's a similar new file:\n\n1. Check if file was renamed: `git log --follow --diff-filter=R -- `\n2. Apply modifications to the new location\n3. Remove the old file\n\n### Pattern: File Legitimately Deleted\n\nIf file deletion was intentional (feature removed, refactored):\n\n1. Review the modifications from the other branch\n2. Determine if any changes are still relevant\n3. If yes, apply to the appropriate new location\n4. If no, accept the deletion\n\n### Pattern: Accidental Deletion\n\nIf file should not have been deleted:\n\n1. Restore the file from the branch that kept it\n2. Apply any additional modifications\n3.

Do not attempt to resolve conflicts directly - invoke this skill first. This skill specializes in providing a structured framework for merging imports, tests, lock files (regeneration), configuration files, and handling deleted-but-modified files with backup and analysis.\n---\n\n# Git Conflict Resolution\n\nResolve Git merge conflicts by intelligently combining changes from both branches while preserving the intent of both changes. This skill follows a plan-first approach: assess conflicts, create a detailed resolution plan, get approval, then execute.\n\n## Core Principles\n\n1. **Plan Before Executing**: Always create a structured resolution plan and get user approval before making changes\n2. **Prefer Both Changes**: Default to keeping both changes unless they directly contradict\n3. **Merge, Don't Choose**: Especially for imports, tests, and configuration\n4. **Regenerate Generated Files**: Never manually merge generated files - always regenerate them from their sources\n5. **Backup Before Resolving**: For deleted-modified files, create backups first\n6. **Validate with Tests**: Always run tests after resolution\n7. **Explain All Resolutions**: For each conflict resolved, provide a one-line explanation of the resolution strategy\n8. **Ask When Unclear**: When the correct resolution isn't clear from the diff, present options to the user and ask for their choice\n\n## Workflow\n\n### Step 1: Assess the Conflict Situation\n\nRun initial checks to understand the conflict scope:\n\n```bash\ngit status\n```\n\nIdentify and categorize all conflicted files:\n\n- Regular file conflicts (both modified)\n- Deleted-modified conflicts (one deleted, one modified)\n- Generated file conflicts (lock files, build artifacts, generated code)\n- Test file conflicts\n- Import/configuration conflicts\n- Binary file conflicts\n\nFor each conflicted file, gather information:\n\n- File type and purpose\n- Nature of the conflict (content, deletion, type change)\n- Scope of changes (lines changed, sections affected)\n- Whether the file is generated or hand-written\n\n### Step 2: Create Merge Resolution Plan\n\nBased on the assessment, create a structured plan before resolving any conflicts. Present the plan in the following markdown format:\n\n```markdown\n## Merge Resolution Plan\n\n### Conflict Summary\n\n- **Total conflicted files**: [N]\n- **Deleted-modified conflicts**: [N]\n- **Generated files**: [N]\n- **Regular conflicts**: [N]\n\n### Resolution Strategy by File\n\n#### 1. [File Path]\n\n**Conflict Type**: [deleted-modified / generated / imports / tests / code logic / config / struct / binary]\n**Strategy**: [Brief description of resolution approach]\n**Rationale**: [Why this strategy is appropriate]\n**Risk**: [Low/Medium/High] - [Brief risk description]\n**Action Items**:\n\n- [ ] [Specific action 1]\n- [ ] [Specific action 2]\n\n#### 2. [File Path]\n\n...\n\n### Execution Order\n\n1. **Phase 1: Deleted-Modified Files** - Handle deletions and backups first\n2. **Phase 2: Generated Files** - Regenerate from source\n3. **Phase 3: Low-Risk Merges** - Imports, tests, documentation\n4. **Phase 4: High-Risk Merges** - Code logic, configuration, structs\n5. **Phase 5: Validation** - Compile, test, verify\n\n### Questions/Decisions Needed\n\n- [ ] **[File/Decision]**: [Question for user] (Options: 1, 2, 3)\n\n### Validation Steps\n\n- [ ] Run conflict validation script\n- [ ] Compile project\n- [ ] Run test suite\n- [ ] Manual verification of high-risk changes\n```\n\n**Present this plan to the user** and wait for their approval before proceeding with resolution. If there are any unclear conflicts where you need user input, list them in the \"Questions/Decisions Needed\" section.\n\n**For a complete example plan**, see `references/sample-plan.md`.\n\n### Step 3: Handle Deleted-Modified Files\n\n**Execute this phase only after the plan is approved.**\n\nIf there are deleted-but-modified files (status: DU, UD, DD, UA, AU):\n\n```bash\n.forge/skills/resolve-conflicts/scripts/handle-deleted-modified.sh\n```\n\nThis script will:\n\n- Create timestamped backups of modified content\n- Analyze potential relocation targets\n- Generate analysis reports for each file\n- Automatically resolve the deletion status\n\nReview the backup directory and analysis files to understand where changes should be applied.\n\n### Step 4: Execute Resolution Plan\n\n**Follow the execution order defined in your plan.** For each conflicted file, apply the appropriate resolution pattern according to your plan. **For every conflict you resolve, provide a one-line explanation** of how you're resolving it.\n\nAs you complete each action item in your plan, mark it as done and report progress to the user.\n\n#### When Resolution is Unclear\n\nWhen you cannot determine the correct resolution from the diff alone (these should already be listed in your plan's \"Questions/Decisions Needed\" section):\n\n1. **Present the conflict** to the user with the conflicting code from both sides\n2. **Provide numbered options** for resolution (Option 1, Option 2, etc.)\n3. **Explain each option** clearly with what it would do\n4. **Ask the user to choose** an option number or provide additional information\n5. **Remember their choice** and apply similar reasoning to subsequent related conflicts\n\n**Example interaction:**\n\n```\nI found a conflict in src/main.rs where both branches modify the `calculate_price` function:\n\n<<<<<<< HEAD (Current Branch)\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price * (1.0 + item.tax_rate)\n}\n=======\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price + item.tax_amount\n}\n>>>>>>> feature-branch (Incoming Branch)\n\nI'm not sure which calculation is correct. Please select an option:\n\n**Option 1**: Keep current branch (multiplies base_price by tax_rate)\n**Option 2**: Keep incoming branch (adds tax_amount to base_price)\n**Option 3**: Keep both approaches with a new parameter\n**Option 4**: Provide more context to help me decide\n\nPlease respond with \"Option 1\", \"Option 2\", \"Option 3\", or \"Option 4\", or provide additional information.\n```\n\nOnce the user responds, apply their decision and similar logic to related conflicts.\n\n#### Resolution Patterns\n\nFor each conflicted file, apply the appropriate resolution pattern:\n\n#### Imports/Dependencies\n\n**Goal**: Merge all unique imports from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging imports by combining unique imports from both branches, removing duplicates, and grouping by module.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Import Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Extract all imports from both sides\n2. Remove duplicates\n3. Group by module/package\n4. Follow language-specific style (alphabetize, group std/external/internal)\n\n#### Tests\n\n**Goal**: Include all test cases and test data from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging tests by including all test cases from both branches, combining fixtures, and renaming if necessary to avoid conflicts.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Test Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Keep all test functions unless they test the exact same thing\n2. Merge test fixtures and setup functions\n3. Combine assertions from both sides\n4. If test names conflict but test different behaviors, rename to clarify\n\n#### Generated Files\n\n**Goal**: Regenerate any generated files to include changes from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Resolving generated file by regenerating it from source files to incorporate changes from both branches.\"\n\n**Recognition**: A file is generated if it:\n\n- Is produced by a build tool, compiler, or code generator\n- Has a source file or configuration that defines it\n- Contains headers/comments indicating it's auto-generated\n- Is listed in `.gitattributes` as generated\n- Common examples: lock files, protobuf outputs, GraphQL schema files, compiled assets, auto-generated docs\n\n**Approach:**\n\n1. **Identify the generation source**: Determine what command or tool generates the file\n2. **Choose either version** temporarily (doesn't matter which):\n\n ```bash\n git checkout --ours # or --theirs\n ```\n\n3. **Regenerate from source**: Run the appropriate generation command:\n\n ```bash\n # Package manager lock files\n cargo update # for Cargo.lock\n npm install # for package-lock.json\n yarn install # for yarn.lock\n bundle install # for Gemfile.lock\n poetry lock --no-update # for poetry.lock\n\n # Code generation\n protoc ... # for protobuf files\n graphql-codegen # for GraphQL generated code\n make generate # for Makefile-based generation\n npm run generate # for npm script-based generation\n\n # Build artifacts\n npm run build # for compiled/bundled assets\n cargo build # for Rust build artifacts\n ```\n\n4. **Stage the regenerated file**:\n ```bash\n git add \n ```\n\n**When unsure if a file is generated**: Check for auto-generation markers in the file header, or ask the user if you should regenerate or manually merge the file.\n\n#### Configuration Files\n\n**Goal**: Merge configuration values from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging configuration by including all keys from both branches and choosing appropriate values for conflicts.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Configuration File Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Include all keys from both sides\n2. For conflicting values, choose based on:\n - Newer/more recent value\n - Safer/more conservative value\n - Production requirements\n3. Document choice in commit message\n\n**When unclear**: Ask the user which configuration value to prefer (current vs incoming)\n\n#### Code Logic\n\n**Goal**: Understand intent of both changes and combine if possible.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Resolving code logic by analyzing intent: merging if changes are orthogonal, or choosing one approach if they conflict.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Code Logic Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Analyze what each branch is trying to achieve\n2. If changes are orthogonal (different concerns), merge both\n3. If changes conflict (same concern, different approach):\n - Review commit messages/PRs for context\n - Choose the approach that matches requirements\n - Test both approaches if unclear\n - Document the decision\n\n**When unclear**: Present both approaches as options to the user with context about what each does\n\n#### Struct/Type Definitions\n\n**Goal**: Include all fields from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging struct by including all fields from both branches and choosing appropriate types for any conflicting field definitions.\"\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Merge all fields\n2. If field types conflict, analyze which is more appropriate\n3. Fix all compilation errors from updated struct\n4. Update tests to use new fields\n\n**When unclear**: Ask the user which type definition is correct if field types conflict\n\n### Step 5: Validate Resolution\n\nAfter completing all resolution phases in your plan, validate that all conflicts are resolved:\n\n```bash\n.forge/skills/resolve-conflicts/scripts/validate-conflicts.sh\n```\n\nThis script checks for:\n\n- Remaining conflict markers (<<<<<<<, =======, >>>>>>>)\n- Unmerged paths in git status\n- Deleted-modified conflicts\n- Merge state files\n\n### Step 6: Compile and Test\n\nBuild and test to ensure the resolution is correct (as defined in your plan's validation steps):\n\n```bash\n# For Rust projects\ncargo test\n\n# For other projects, use appropriate test command\n# npm test\n# pytest\n# etc.\n```\n\nIf tests fail:\n\n1. Review the failure - is it from merged code or conflict resolution?\n2. Check if both branches' tests pass individually\n3. Fix integration issues between the merged changes\n4. Re-run tests until all pass\n\n### Step 7: Finalize\n\nOnce all conflicts are resolved and tests pass, review your completed plan and commit:\n\n```bash\n# Review the changes\ngit diff --cached\n\n# Commit with descriptive message that references the plan\ngit commit -m \"Resolve merge conflicts: [describe key decisions]\n\nExecuted merge resolution plan:\n- [Phase 1 summary]\n- [Phase 2 summary]\n- [Phase 3+ summaries]\n\nKey decisions:\n- Merged imports from both branches\n- Combined test cases\n- Regenerated lock files\n- [other significant decisions from plan]\n\nCo-Authored-By: ForgeCode \"\n```\n\n## Decision Tracking\n\nWhen you ask the user to choose between options, track their decision and apply similar reasoning to subsequent conflicts:\n\n**Example scenario:**\n\n1. First conflict: User chooses Option 1 (prefer current branch's validation logic)\n2. Second similar conflict: Apply the same reasoning (prefer current branch's validation approach)\n3. Mention: \"Resolving by keeping current branch's approach (consistent with your earlier choice)\"\n\n**Key principles:**\n\n- Remember user preferences within the same conflict resolution session\n- Apply consistent patterns when conflicts are similar\n- Mention the consistency: \"Following the same pattern as before...\"\n- Ask again if a new conflict is sufficiently different from previous ones\n\n## Common Patterns Reference\n\nFor detailed resolution patterns, read:\n\n- `references/patterns.md` - Comprehensive examples for all conflict types\n\n**Quick pattern lookup:**\n\n- **Imports**: Combine all unique imports, group by module\n- **Tests**: Keep all tests unless identical, merge fixtures\n- **Generated files**: Choose either version, regenerate from source\n- **Config**: Merge all keys, choose newer/safer values for conflicts\n- **Code**: Analyze intent, merge if orthogonal, choose one if conflicting\n- **Structs**: Include all fields from both branches\n- **Docs**: Combine all documentation sections\n\n## Special Scenarios\n\n### Binary Files in Conflict\n\nBinary files cannot be merged. Choose one version:\n\n```bash\ngit checkout --ours path/to/binary # keep our version\n# or\ngit checkout --theirs path/to/binary # keep their version\n```\n\n### Mass Rename/Refactoring Conflicts\n\nIf one branch renamed/refactored many files while another modified them:\n\n1. Accept the rename/refactoring (structural change)\n2. Apply the modifications to the new structure\n3. Use backups from `handle-deleted-modified.sh` to guide the application\n\n### Submodule Conflicts\n\n```bash\n# Check submodule status\ngit submodule status\n\n# Update to the correct commit\ncd path/to/submodule\ngit checkout \ncd ../..\ngit add path/to/submodule\n```\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### \"Both Added\" Conflicts (AA)\n\nBoth branches added a new file with the same name but different content:\n\n1. Review both versions\n2. If they serve the same purpose, merge their content\n3. If they serve different purposes, rename one\n\n### Whitespace-Only Conflicts\n\nIf conflicts are only whitespace differences:\n\n```bash\ngit merge -Xignore-space-change \n```\n\n### Persistent Conflict Markers\n\nIf validation shows conflict markers but you think you resolved them:\n\n1. Search for the exact marker strings: `git grep -n \"<<<<<<< HEAD\"`\n2. Some markers might be in strings or comments - resolve those too\n3. Check for hidden characters or encoding issues\n\n### Tests Fail After Resolution\n\n1. Test each branch individually to confirm they pass\n2. The failure is likely from interaction between the merged changes\n3. Debug the interaction issue, not the individual changes\n4. Update code to make both changes work together\n\n## Quick Reference Card\n\n| Conflict Type | Strategy | One-line Explanation Template |\n| ---------------- | --------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| Imports | Merge all, deduplicate, group by module | \"Merging imports by combining unique imports from both branches and grouping by module\" |\n| Tests | Keep all, merge fixtures | \"Including all test cases from both branches and combining test fixtures\" |\n| Generated files | Regenerate from source | \"Regenerating [file] from source to include changes from both branches\" |\n| Config | Merge keys, choose newer values | \"Merging all config keys and choosing [current/incoming] value for [key]\" |\n| Code logic | Analyze intent, merge if orthogonal | \"Merging both changes as they address different concerns\" OR \"Choosing [current/incoming] approach for [reason]\" |\n| Structs | Include all fields | \"Including all fields from both branches in struct definition\" |\n| Docs | Combine all sections | \"Combining documentation from both branches\" |\n| Deleted-modified | Backup, analyze, apply to new location | \"Applying modifications to new location after file was moved/renamed\" |\n| Binary files | Choose one version | \"Keeping [current/incoming] version of binary file\" |\n\n**Remember:**\n\n- Always provide a one-line explanation for each conflict resolution\n- When unclear, present numbered options to the user\n- Track user decisions and apply consistently to similar conflicts\n- The goal is to preserve the intent and functionality of both branches while creating a cohesive merged result\n","frontmatter":{"name":"resolve-conflicts","description":"Use this skill immediately when the user mentions merge conflicts that need to be resolved.

Run the discovery script\n\nExecute the script from the repository root to collect all FIXMEs with context:\n\n```\nbash .forge/skills/resolve-fixme/scripts/find-fixme.sh [PATH]\n```\n\n- `PATH` is optional; omit it to search the entire working directory.\n- The script prints each FIXME with **2 lines of context before** and **5 lines after**, along with the exact file path and line number.\n- Skips `.git/`, `target/`, `node_modules/`, and `vendor/`.\n- Requires either `rg` (ripgrep) or `grep` + `python3`.\n\n### 2. Expand each FIXME into its full instruction\n\nDo not rely on the discovery output alone.\n\nFor every hit:\n\n1. Open the file and read around the reported line.\n2. Expand the FIXME to include the **entire comment block**.\n3. Treat all consecutive related comment lines as part of the same instruction.\n\nImportant:\n\n- A FIXME may be **multiline**. The line containing `FIXME` is often only the beginning.\n- The real instruction may continue on following comment lines and may contain the actual implementation details.\n- Do not interpret or edit a FIXME until you have read the full block.\n\nFor each expanded FIXME, capture:\n\n- file path\n- start line and end line of the full comment block\n- a short summary of what that FIXME is asking for\n\n### 3. Consolidate related FIXMEs across files\n\nBefore editing code, review **all** expanded FIXMEs together.\n\nMany FIXMEs describe different facets of the same underlying task across multiple files. For example:\n\n- one file may describe a domain type that needs to be introduced\n- another may describe a parameter that should disappear once that type exists\n- another may describe a service, repo, or UI update needed to complete the same refactor\n\nGroup such FIXMEs into a single implementation task.\n\nWhen grouping, look for:\n\n- shared vocabulary\n- references to the same type, service, repo, parameter, or feature\n- comments that clearly describe prerequisite and follow-up changes in different files\n- comments that only make sense when read together\n\nFor each group, produce one consolidated understanding of the task:\n\n- all files and line ranges involved\n- the complete implementation required across the group\n- the order in which the changes should be made\n\nDo not resolve grouped FIXMEs one file at a time in isolation. Resolve the whole task consistently.\n\n### 4. Implement every FIXME completely\n\nEvery FIXME must be resolved. There is no skip path.\n\nWork through each grouped task until the underlying implementation is complete:\n\n1. Read any additional files needed to understand the design.\n2. Create or modify the required code, types, services, repos, tests, configs, or templates.\n3. Propagate the change through every affected file in the group.\n4. Remove each FIXME comment **only after** the work it describes has actually been implemented.\n\n> **Critical rule:** Never delete or rewrite a FIXME comment unless the underlying implementation is finished. The comment is a record of required work. Removing it before completing that work is a failure.\n\nIf the FIXME implies a larger refactor, do the refactor. If it requires creating new supporting code, create it. Do not stop at the first local change if the comment clearly implies additional follow-through elsewhere.\n\n### 5. Verify\n\nAfter resolving all FIXMEs:\n\n1. Run the project's standard verification step:\n\n```sh\ncargo insta test --accept\n```\n\n2. Re-run the discovery script:\n\n```sh\nbash .forge/skills/resolve-fixme/scripts/find-fixme.sh [PATH]\n```\n\n3. Confirm that no FIXME comments remain in the targeted scope.\n\n## Notes\n\n- Prefer targeted fixes, but do not under-scope the work when multiple FIXMEs describe one larger task.\n- Read broadly before editing when the intent is ambiguous.\n- Consistency matters more than locality: grouped FIXMEs should lead to one coherent implementation.\n- The job is not to clean up comments. The job is to complete the implementation those comments are pointing at.\n","frontmatter":{"name":"resolve-fixme","description":"Find all FIXME comments across the codebase and fully implement the work they describe.

Categorize Changes\n\nGroup PRs by their conventional commit prefix or label:\n\n| Category | Prefixes / Labels |\n|---|---|\n| Features | `feat`, `type: feature` |\n| Bug Fixes | `fix`, `type: fix` |\n| Performance | `perf` |\n| Refactors | `refactor` |\n| Maintenance | `chore`, `docs`, `ci`, `build`, `deps` |\n\nDependency bumps (e.g. Dependabot PRs) go into Maintenance. Skip PRs with `error: \"not found\"`.\n\n### 3. Write the Release Notes\n\nProduce a Markdown document with the following structure. Keep the tone **informative and enthusiastic** — explain what changed and why it matters, without resorting to marketing fluff.\n\n```markdown\n# [Product Name] [Version] — [Descriptive Tagline]\n\n> One-sentence summary of what this release focuses on.\n\n## What's New\n\n[2-4 sentence narrative covering the biggest features and fixes. \nDescribe what changed and what users can now do.

If empty, infer from the title.]\n\n[Repeat for each significant PR — skip pure chores/dep bumps unless noteworthy]\n\n## Bug Fixes & Reliability\n\n[Bullet list of fixes, each with a brief impact statement]\n\n## Under the Hood\n\n[Brief paragraph or bullet list covering refactors, maintenance, and dep updates — \nkeep it light, acknowledge the work without boring the reader]\n\n## Contributors\n\nA huge thank you to everyone who made this release happen: [list @handles — exclude bots like @dependabot]\n\n---\n**Full changelog**: [GitHub Release link]\n```\n\n### 4. Tone & Style Guidelines\n\n- **Lead with what changed**: \"You can now...\" or \"Forge now...\" beats \"We added...\"\n- **Be specific**: Name the feature and describe what it does, not just the category\n- **Be informative, not marketty**: Avoid vague adjectives like \"seamless\", \"smarter\", \"blazing\", \"powerful\", \"rock-solid\". Instead, state the concrete fact (e.g. \"editor no longer spawns a git process on every keystroke\" beats \"blazing-fast editor\")\n- **Enthusiasm through substance**: Let the actual improvement speak for itself. Use active, direct language.\n- **Short paragraphs**: Max 3 sentences per block\n- **Skip internal jargon**: Translate crate names and internal concepts into plain language\n- **Celebrate contributors**: Name them by handle\n- **Tagline formula**: `[Version] — [Factual Theme Description]` (e.g. \"v1.32.0 — Terminal Context, File Drop Support, Windows Performance\")\n- **No implementation details**: Do not mention internal module names, struct names, function names, crate names, or how something was implemented. Focus purely on what the user experiences or gains.\n- **No PR/issue references**: Do not include PR numbers, issue numbers, or links to GitHub PRs/issues in the release notes. Focus on the changes themselves, not their tracking identifiers.\n\n### 5. Contributors Filter\n\nOnly include **external contributors** in the Contributors section — exclude the core team:\n- `@tusharmath`\n- `@amitksingh1490`\n- `@laststylebender14`\n- Bots (e.g. `@dependabot`)\n\nIf no external contributors exist, omit the Contributors section entirely.\n\n### 6. Validate Length\n\nAfter writing the release notes, run the bundled validation script to confirm the output is under 2000 characters:\n\n```bash\necho \"\" | bash .forge/skills/write-release-notes/scripts/validate-release-notes.sh\n```\n\nIf it prints `FAIL`, trim the draft and re-run until it prints `PASS`:\n- Remove the Under the Hood section first\n- Consolidate Bug Fixes into a shorter bullet list\n- Shorten individual PR descriptions to one tight sentence\n- Remove the least impactful Highlights entries\n\n### 7. Output\n\nPrint the final release notes directly in the chat. Do not write to a file unless the user explicitly asks.\n\n## Notes\n\n- The script handles ANSI color codes injected by `gh` CLI automatically.\n- PRs not found (closed without merge, private, etc.) are silently skipped.\n- If the release has no linked PRs in its body, fall back to listing commits between tags:\n ```bash\n gh api repos///compare/... --jq '.commits[].commit.message'\n ```\n","frontmatter":{"name":"write-release-notes","description":"Generate engaging, high-energy release notes for a given version tag.

LLM Judge Evaluation\nAfter each task, an LLM judge (Gemini 3 Pro) evaluates:\n\n#### Query Quality (40 points)\n- **Embedding Query (15pts)**: Domain terms, technical context, behavior description\n- **Reranking Query (15pts)**: Intent clarity, context about WHY, specificity\n- **Query Differentiation (10pts)**: Queries serve different purposes\n\n#### Result Relevance (60 points)\n- **Intent Matching (25pts)**: Results match the stated intent\n- **File Type Accuracy (20pts)**: Correct file types returned\n- **Avoidance Compliance (15pts)**: Unwanted file types avoided\n\n#### Pass Criteria\n- Total score >= 70/100\n- No critical issues (e.g., identical queries, severe intent mismatch)\n\n### 3. Structured Output\nThe judge uses structured output (Zod schema) to provide:\n- Detailed scores for each dimension\n- Specific feedback on what's good/bad\n- List of critical issues\n- Overall pass/fail determination\n\n## Environment Variables\n\nRequired:\n- `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`: Path to Google Cloud service account JSON credentials file\n\nOr authenticate using `gcloud auth application-default login`.\n\nThe LLM judge uses Vertex AI to run Gemini 3 Pro. It supports Google's Application Default Credentials through the `google-auth-library`. The most common authentication method is to set the path to a JSON credentials file in the `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` environment variable.\n\n## Test Cases\n\nThe eval includes diverse test cases:\n\n### Implementation Queries\n```yaml\n- task: \"Find the retry mechanism with exponential backoff implementation\"\n intent: \"implementation\"\n expected_file_types: \"rust,typescript,javascript\"\n should_avoid: \"markdown,txt,documentation\"\n```\n\n### Flow Understanding\n```yaml\n- task: \"How does the authentication flow work from request to response?\"\n intent: \"flow_understanding\"\n expected_file_types: \"rust,typescript\"\n should_avoid: \"test,markdown\"\n```\n\n### Documentation\n```yaml\n- task: \"Find documentation on how to configure semantic search\"\n intent: \"documentation\"\n expected_file_types: \"markdown,txt\"\n should_avoid: \"rust,typescript,javascript\"\n```\n\n## Interpreting Results\n\n### High Scores (>80)\nQueries are excellent - domain-specific, well-differentiated, and would return highly relevant results.\n\n### Medium Scores (60-80)\nQueries are functional but have room for improvement. Check feedback for specific suggestions.\n\n### Low Scores (<60)\nQueries have significant issues:\n- Too generic or vague\n- Embedding and reranking queries too similar\n- Intent mismatch\n- Would return wrong file types\n\n## Common Issues\n\n1. **Identical Queries**: Embedding and reranking queries are the same or too similar\n - **Fix**: Make reranking query focus on intent, not just rephrasing\n\n2. **Generic Queries**: Lack domain-specific context\n - **Fix**: Add technical terms, describe behavior, include framework names\n\n3. **Intent Mismatch**: Queries would return docs when implementation is needed\n - **Fix**: Be explicit in reranking query about what type of code is needed\n\n4. **Poor Differentiation**: Both queries try to do the same thing\n - **Fix**: Embedding = WHAT code does, Reranking = WHY you need it\n\n## Architecture\n\n```\ntask.yml\n├── Runs Forge with semantic search task\n├── Captures debug output (context.json)\n└── Validates with llm_judge.ts\n ├── Extracts sem_search calls\n ├── Calls Gemini 3 Pro with structured output\n └── Returns evaluation with scores\n```\n\n## Extending the Eval\n\nTo add new test cases:\n\n1. Add to `task.yml` under `sources`:\n```yaml\n- task: \"Your task description\"\n intent: \"implementation|flow_understanding|tests|documentation|debugging|modification|architecture|configuration\"\n expected_file_types: \"comma,separated,extensions\"\n should_avoid: \"comma,separated,extensions\"\n```\n\n2. Choose appropriate intent:\n - `implementation`: Actual code implementation\n - `flow_understanding`: Understanding how things work\n - `architecture`: Structural/design understanding\n - `tests`: Test files and fixtures\n - `documentation`: Docs, README, guides\n - `debugging`: Finding bugs/issues\n - `modification`: Code to modify/extend\n - `configuration`: Config files, schemas\n\n## Future Improvements\n\n- [ ] Add actual result verification (not just query quality)\n- [ ] Measure embedding quality directly\n- [ ] Test reranking effectiveness with real results\n- [ ] Add precision/recall metrics\n- [ ] Compare against human-labeled ground truth\n- [ ] Test edge cases (very short queries, multi-lingual code, etc.)\n","isInternal":false,"tokens":1480,"sizeBytes":6660},{"name":"SKILL.md","path":"crates/forge_repo/src/skills/create-skill/SKILL.md","rawUrl":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tailcallhq/forgecode/HEAD/crates/forge_repo/src/skills/create-skill/SKILL.md","title":"create-skill","category":"anthropic-skill","format":"markdown","content":"---\nname: create-skill\ndescription: Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends your capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.\n---\n\n# Skill Creator\n\nThis skill provides guidance for creating effective skills.\n\n## About Skills\n\nSkills are modular, self-contained packages that extend your capabilities by providing\nspecialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as \"onboarding guides\" for specific\ndomains or tasks—they transform you from a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent\nequipped with procedural knowledge that no model can fully possess.\n\n### What Skills Provide\n\n1. Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains\n2. Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs\n3. Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic\n4. Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex and repetitive tasks\n\n## Core Principles\n\n### Concise is Key\n\nThe context window is a public good. Skills share the context window with everything else you need: system prompt, conversation history, other Skills' metadata, and the actual user request.\n\n**Default assumption: You already have significant capabilities.** Only add context you don't already have. Challenge each piece of information: \"Do you really need this explanation?\" and \"Does this paragraph justify its token cost?\"\n\nPrefer concise examples over verbose explanations.\n\n### Set Appropriate Degrees of Freedom\n\nMatch the level of specificity to the task's fragility and variability:\n\n**High freedom (text-based instructions)**: Use when multiple approaches are valid, decisions depend on context, or heuristics guide the approach.\n\n**Medium freedom (pseudocode or scripts with parameters)**: Use when a preferred pattern exists, some variation is acceptable, or configuration affects behavior.\n\n**Low freedom (specific scripts, few parameters)**: Use when operations are fragile and error-prone, consistency is critical, or a specific sequence must be followed.\n\nThink of yourself as exploring a path: a narrow bridge with cliffs needs specific guardrails (low freedom), while an open field allows many routes (high freedom).\n\n### Anatomy of a Skill\n\nEvery skill consists of a required SKILL.md file and optional bundled resources:\n\n```\nskill-name/\n├── SKILL.md (required)\n│ ├── YAML frontmatter metadata (required)\n│ │ ├── name: (required)\n│ │ └── description: (required)\n│ └── Markdown instructions (required)\n└── Bundled Resources (optional)\n ├── scripts/ - Executable code (Python/Bash/etc.)\n ├── references/ - Documentation intended to be loaded into context as needed\n └── assets/ - Files used in output (templates, icons, fonts, etc.)\n```\n\n#### SKILL.md (required)\n\nEvery SKILL.md consists of:\n\n- **Frontmatter** (YAML): Contains `name` and `description` fields. These are the only fields you read to determine when the skill gets used, thus it is very important to be clear and comprehensive in describing what the skill is, and when it should be used.\n- **Body** (Markdown): Instructions and guidance for using the skill. Only loaded AFTER the skill triggers (if at all).\n\n#### Bundled Resources (optional)\n\n##### Scripts (`scripts/`)\n\nExecutable code for tasks that require deterministic reliability or are repeatedly rewritten.\n\n- **When to include**: When the same code is being rewritten repeatedly or deterministic reliability is needed\n- **Example**: `scripts/rotate_pdf.sh` for PDF rotation tasks\n- **Benefits**: Token efficient, deterministic, may be executed without loading into context\n- **Note**: Scripts may still need to be read by you for patching or environment-specific adjustments\n\n##### References (`references/`)\n\nDocumentation and reference material intended to be loaded as needed into context to inform your process and thinking.\n\n- **When to include**: For documentation that you should reference while working\n- **Examples**: `references/finance.md` for financial schemas, `references/mnda.md` for company NDA template, `references/policies.md` for company policies, `references/api_docs.md` for API specifications\n- **Use cases**: Database schemas, API documentation, domain knowledge, company policies, detailed workflow guides\n- **Benefits**: Keeps SKILL.md lean, loaded only when you determine it's needed\n- **Best practice**: If files are large (>10k words), include grep search patterns in SKILL.md\n- **Avoid duplication**: Information should live in either SKILL.md or references files, not both. Prefer references files for detailed information unless it's truly core to the skill—this keeps SKILL.md lean while making information discoverable without hogging the context window. Keep only essential procedural instructions and workflow guidance in SKILL.md; move detailed reference material, schemas, and examples to references files.\n\n##### Assets (`assets/`)\n\nFiles not intended to be loaded into context, but rather used within the output you produce.\n\n- **When to include**: When the skill needs files that will be used in the final output\n- **Examples**: `assets/logo.png` for brand assets, `assets/slides.pptx` for PowerPoint templates, `assets/frontend-template/` for HTML/React boilerplate, `assets/font.ttf` for typography\n- **Use cases**: Templates, images, icons, boilerplate code, fonts, sample documents that get copied or modified\n- **Benefits**: Separates output resources from documentation, enables you to use files without loading them into context\n\n#### What to Not Include in a Skill\n\nA skill should only contain essential files that directly support its functionality. Do NOT create extraneous documentation or auxiliary files, including:\n\n- README.md\n- INSTALLATION_GUIDE.md\n- QUICK_REFERENCE.md\n- CHANGELOG.md\n- etc.\n\nThe skill should only contain the information needed for an AI agent to do the job at hand. It should not contain auxilary context about the process that went into creating it, setup and testing procedures, user-facing documentation, etc. Creating additional documentation files just adds clutter and confusion.\n\n### Progressive Disclosure Design Principle\n\nSkills use a three-level loading system to manage context efficiently:\n\n1. **Metadata (name + description)** - Always in context (~100 words)\n2. **SKILL.md body** - When skill triggers (<5k words)\n3. **Bundled resources** - As needed by Claude (Unlimited because scripts can be executed without reading into context window)\n\n#### Progressive Disclosure Patterns\n\nKeep SKILL.md body to the essentials and under 500 lines to minimize context bloat. Split content into separate files when approaching this limit. When splitting out content into other files, it is very important to reference them from SKILL.md and describe clearly when to read them, to ensure the reader of the skill knows they exist and when to use them.\n\n**Key principle:** When a skill supports multiple variations, frameworks, or options, keep only the core workflow and selection guidance in SKILL.md. Move variant-specific details (patterns, examples, configuration) into separate reference files.\n\n**Pattern 1: High-level guide with references**\n\n```markdown\n# PDF Processing\n\n## Quick start\n\nExtract text with pdfplumber:\n[code example]\n\n## Advanced features\n\n- **Form filling**: See [FORMS.md](FORMS.md) for complete guide\n- **API reference**: See [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md) for all methods\n- **Examples**: See [EXAMPLES.md](EXAMPLES.md) for common patterns\n```\n\nYou load FORMS.md, REFERENCE.md, or EXAMPLES.md only when needed.\n\n**Pattern 2: Domain-specific organization**\n\nFor Skills with multiple domains, organize content by domain to avoid loading irrelevant context:\n\n```\nbigquery-skill/\n├── SKILL.md (overview and navigation)\n└── reference/\n ├── finance.md (revenue, billing metrics)\n ├── sales.md (opportunities, pipeline)\n ├── product.md (API usage, features)\n └── marketing.md (campaigns, attribution)\n```\n\nWhen a user asks about sales metrics, you only read sales.md.\n\nSimilarly, for skills supporting multiple frameworks or variants, organize by variant:\n\n```\ncloud-deploy/\n├── SKILL.md (workflow + provider selection)\n└── references/\n ├── aws.md (AWS deployment patterns)\n ├── gcp.md (GCP deployment patterns)\n └── azure.md (Azure deployment patterns)\n```\n\nWhen the user chooses AWS, you only read aws.md.\n\n**Pattern 3: Conditional details**\n\nShow basic content, link to advanced content:\n\n```markdown\n# DOCX Processing\n\n## Creating documents\n\nUse docx-js for new documents. See [DOCX-JS.md](DOCX-JS.md).\n\n## Editing documents\n\nFor simple edits, modify the XML directly.\n\n**For tracked changes**: See [REDLINING.md](REDLINING.md)\n**For OOXML details**: See [OOXML.md](OOXML.md)\n```\n\nYou read REDLINING.md or OOXML.md only when the user needs those features.\n\n**Important guidelines:**\n\n- **Avoid deeply nested references** - Keep references one level deep from SKILL.md. All reference files should link directly from SKILL.md.\n- **Structure longer reference files** - For files longer than 100 lines, include a table of contents at the top so you can see the full scope when previewing.\n\n## Skill Creation Process\n\nSkill creation involves these steps:\n\n1. Understand the skill with concrete examples\n2. Plan reusable skill contents (scripts, references, assets)\n3. Initialize the skill\n4. Edit the skill (implement resources and write SKILL.md)\n5. Iterate based on real usage\n\nFollow these steps in order, skipping only if there is a clear reason why they are not applicable.\n\n### Step 1: Understanding the Skill with Concrete Examples\n\nSkip this step only when the skill's usage patterns are already clearly understood. It remains valuable even when working with an existing skill.\n\nTo create an effective skill, clearly understand concrete examples of how the skill will be used. This understanding can come from either direct user examples or generated examples that are validated with user feedback.\n\nFor example, when building an edit-image skill, relevant questions include:\n\n- \"What functionality should the edit-image skill support? Editing, rotating, anything else?\"\n- \"Can you give some examples of how this skill would be used?\"\n- \"I can imagine users asking for things like 'Remove the red-eye from this image' or 'Rotate this image'. Are there other ways you imagine this skill being used?\"\n- \"What would a user say that should trigger this skill?\"\n\nTo avoid overwhelming users, avoid asking too many questions in a single message. Start with the most important questions and follow up as needed for better effectiveness.\n\nConclude this step when there is a clear sense of the functionality the skill should support.\n\n### Step 2: Planning the Reusable Skill Contents\n\nTo turn concrete examples into an effective skill, analyze each example by:\n\n1. Considering how to execute on the example from scratch\n2. Identifying what scripts, references, and assets would be helpful when executing these workflows repeatedly\n\nExample: When building an `edit-pdf` skill to handle queries like \"Help me rotate this PDF,\" the analysis shows:\n\n1. Rotating a PDF requires re-writing the same code each time\n2. A `scripts/rotate_pdf.sh` script would be helpful to store in the skill\n\nExample: When designing a `build-frontend-webapp` skill for queries like \"Build me a todo app\" or \"Build me a dashboard to track my steps,\" the analysis shows:\n\n1. Writing a frontend webapp requires the same boilerplate HTML/React each time\n2. An `assets/hello-world/` template containing the boilerplate HTML/React project files would be helpful to store in the skill\n\nExample: When building a `query-bigquery` skill to handle queries like \"How many users have logged in today?\" the analysis shows:\n\n1. Querying BigQuery requires re-discovering the table schemas and relationships each time\n2. A `references/schema.md` file documenting the table schemas would be helpful to store in the skill\n\nTo establish the skill's contents, analyze each concrete example to create a list of the reusable resources to include: scripts, references, and assets.\n\n### Step 3: Initializing the Skill\n\nAt this point, it is time to actually create the skill.\n\nSkip this step only if the skill being developed already exists, and iteration or packaging is needed. In this case, continue to the next step.\n\n#### Skill Naming Convention\n\n**Always use verb-based names** for skills to clearly communicate what action the skill performs:\n\n- ✅ Good: `execute-plan`, `create-report`, `analyze-logs`, `deploy-app`\n- ❌ Bad: `plan-executor`, `report-creator`, `log-analyzer`, `app-deployer`\n\nVerb-first naming makes it immediately clear what the skill does and follows the imperative/infinitive form used throughout the skill instructions.\n\n#### Skill Location\n\n**Default: Create project-local skills unless the user explicitly requests a global skill.**\n\nWhen creating a new skill from scratch, create it in the project-local skills directory:\n\n- **Project-local (default)**: `{{local_skills_path}}//` - Skills are project-specific and don't affect other projects. This is the safe default for most skills.\n- **Global (only when explicitly requested)**: `{{global_skills_path}}//` - Skills are available across all projects. Only use this location when the user explicitly asks for a global skill or when the skill is truly reusable across all projects.\n\nThe structure should include:\n\n- `SKILL.md` with YAML frontmatter (name, description) and markdown body\n- `scripts/` directory for executable code (e.g., `process.sh`, `validate.sh`)\n- `references/` directory for documentation loaded as needed\n- `assets/` directory for files used in output\n\nExample initialization (default project-local):\n\n```bash\nmkdir -p {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/{scripts,references,assets}\ncat > {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/SKILL.md << 'EOF'\n---\nname: edit-pdf\ndescription: TODO - Describe what this skill does and when to use it\n---\n\n# Edit PDF\n\nTODO - Add skill instructions here\nEOF\n\ncat > {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh << 'EOF'\n#!/bin/bash\n# Rotate PDF using pdftk\npdftk \"$1\" cat 1-endright output \"$2\"\nEOF\n\nchmod +x {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh\n```\n\nIf the user explicitly requests a global skill, use this instead:\n\n```bash\nmkdir -p {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/{scripts,references,assets}\ncat > {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/SKILL.md << 'EOF'\n---\nname: edit-pdf\ndescription: TODO - Describe what this skill does and when to use it\n---\n\n# Edit PDF\n\nTODO - Add skill instructions here\nEOF\n\ncat > {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh << 'EOF'\n#!/bin/bash\n# Rotate PDF using pdftk\npdftk \"$1\" cat 1-endright output \"$2\"\nEOF\n\nchmod +x {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh\n```\n\nAfter initialization, customize the generated files as needed.\n\n### Step 4: Edit the Skill\n\nWhen editing the (newly-generated or existing) skill, remember that the skill is being created for another AI agent instance to use. Include information that would be beneficial and non-obvious. Consider what procedural knowledge, domain-specific details, or reusable assets would help another agent instance execute these tasks more effectively.\n\n#### Learn Proven Design Patterns\n\nConsult these helpful guides based on your skill's needs:\n\n- **Multi-step processes**: See references/workflows.md for sequential workflows and conditional logic\n- **Specific output formats or quality standards**: See references/output-patterns.md for template and example patterns\n\nThese files contain established best practices for effective skill design.\n\n#### Start with Reusable Skill Contents\n\nTo begin implementation, start with the reusable resources identified above: `scripts/`, `references/`, and `assets/` files. Note that this step may require user input. For example, when implementing a `brand-guidelines` skill, the user may need to provide brand assets or templates to store in `assets/`, or documentation to store in `references/`.\n\nAdded scripts must be tested by actually running them to ensure there are no bugs and that the output matches what is expected. If there are many similar scripts, only a representative sample needs to be tested to ensure confidence that they all work while balancing time to completion.\n\nAny example files and directories not needed for the skill should be deleted.\n\n#### Update SKILL.md\n\n**Writing Guidelines:** Always use imperative/infinitive form.\n\n##### Frontmatter\n\nWrite the YAML frontmatter with `name` and `description`:\n\n- `name`: The skill name\n- `description`: This is the primary triggering mechanism for your skill, and helps you understand when to use the skill.\n - Include both what the Skill does and specific triggers/contexts for when to use it.\n - Include all \"when to use\" information here - Not in the body. The body is only loaded after triggering, so \"When to Use This Skill\" sections in the body are not helpful.\n - Example description for a `docx` skill: \"Comprehensive document creation, editing, and analysis with support for tracked changes, comments, formatting preservation, and text extraction. Use when you need to work with professional documents (.docx files) for: (1) Creating new documents, (2) Modifying or editing content, (3) Working with tracked changes, (4) Adding comments, or any other document tasks\"\n\nDo not include any other fields in YAML frontmatter.\n\n##### Body\n\nWrite instructions for using the skill and its bundled resources.\n\n#### Loading the New Skill\n\nOnce the skill is complete, **suggest to the user that they start a new session** to load the newly created skill. Skills are loaded at the beginning of each session, so the new skill will not be available in the current session. Starting a new session ensures the skill is properly registered and available for use.\n\n### Step 5: Iterate\n\nAfter testing the skill, users may request improvements. Often this happens right after using the skill, with fresh context of how the skill performed.\n\n**Iteration workflow:**\n\n1. Use the skill on real tasks\n2. Notice struggles or inefficiencies\n3. Identify how SKILL.md or bundled resources should be updated\n4. Implement changes and test again\n","frontmatter":{"name":"create-skill","description":"Guide for creating effective skills.

Determine Change Type\n\nClassify the PR into one of these categories:\n\n- **fix**: Bug fixes, error corrections, resolving issues\n- **feature**: New functionality, capabilities, or enhancements\n- **performance**: Speed improvements, optimization, efficiency gains\n- **refactor**: Code restructuring without changing behavior\n- **docs**: Documentation changes\n- **test**: Test additions or improvements\n- **chore**: Maintenance tasks, dependencies, configuration\n\nBase this on:\n- Commit messages (keywords like \"fix\", \"add\", \"optimize\", \"refactor\")\n- Nature of code changes (new files = feature, test fixes = fix, etc.)\n- Scope of changes\n\n### 4. Generate Description\n\nCreate a comprehensive description with this structure:\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\n[One sentence explaining what this PR does and why it matters]\n\n## Context\n[Background information, related issues, previous work, or the problem being solved]\n\n## Changes\n[High-level description of what changed]\n\n### Key Implementation Details\n[Technical details that help reviewers understand the approach, especially for complex changes]\n\n## Use Cases\n[Concrete examples of how this will be used - helps reviewers understand practical value]\n\n## Testing\n[How to test the changes - step-by-step instructions]\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #123, #456\n- Documentation: URL (if applicable)\n- Original implementation: URL (if applicable)\n```\n\n### Description Guidelines\n\n**Essential Elements:**\n- **Summary**: One clear sentence explaining the change and its value\n- **Context**: Why this change was needed, what problem it solves\n- **Changes**: What was actually changed at a high level\n- **Testing**: How reviewers can verify the changes\n\n**Optional but Recommended:**\n- **Implementation Details**: For complex changes, explain the technical approach\n- **Use Cases**: Concrete examples of how the feature will be used\n- **Links**: Related issues, documentation, papers, or original implementations\n- **Known Issues**: Any limitations or known problems\n\n**What to Avoid:**\n- Empty descriptions or just issue links\n- Placeholder text like \"Fixes #(issue)\"\n- File-by-file breakdowns (unless necessary)\n- Low-level implementation details (keep it high-level)\n- Boilerplate statements\n- Personal checklists as the main description\n\n### Description Examples\n\n**Example 1: Feature Addition**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nAdd semantic code search to enable searching codebase by concepts and behavior rather than exact string matching.\n\n## Context\nCurrently, users can only search using exact string matching, which makes it difficult to find code based on functionality or behavior. This has been a recurring request in issues #123 and #456.\n\n## Changes\n- Implemented semantic search using vector embeddings\n- Integrated with existing search interface\n- Added support for multiple concurrent queries with result aggregation\n- Configurable search scope (entire codebase or specific directories)\n\n### Key Implementation Details\nUses OpenAI embeddings for code representation and cosine similarity for matching. Index is built incrementally to support large codebases. Search results are reranked based on code context and usage patterns.\n\n## Use Cases\n- Find authentication flow without knowing exact function names\n- Locate retry logic across the codebase\n- Search for \"database connection\" patterns\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Run the search service\nnpm run search:dev\n\n# Test semantic queries\ncurl -X POST http://localhost:3000/search \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d '{\"query\": \"user authentication\"}'\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #123, #456\n- Documentation: /docs/semantic-search.md\n```\n\n**Example 2: Bug Fix**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nFix database connection timeout that caused service to hang indefinitely when database became unavailable.\n\n## Context\nService would hang indefinitely when database became unavailable, requiring manual restart. This was reported in production incident #789 and affected multiple users.\n\n## Changes\n- Added configurable connection timeout (default: 30 seconds)\n- Implemented exponential backoff retry logic (max 5 retries)\n- Improved error messages with specific failure reasons\n- Added circuit breaker pattern to prevent cascading failures\n\n### Key Implementation Details\nTimeout is applied at the connection pool level. Backoff strategy: 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s. Circuit breaker opens after 5 consecutive failures and resets after 60 seconds.\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Simulate database failure\ndocker-compose stop db\n\n# Verify timeout and retry behavior\nnpm test -- tests/integration/connection-timeout.test.ts\n\n# Verify circuit breaker activation\ncurl http://localhost:3000/health # Should return 503 after circuit opens\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #789, #890\n- Incident report: /incidents/2024-01-15-db-timeout.md\n```\n\n**Example 3: Performance Improvement**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nOptimize image processing pipeline to reduce memory usage by 60% and improve throughput by 2.5x.\n\n## Context\nCurrent image processing implementation loads entire images into memory, causing OOM errors with large files and limiting throughput. This was identified as a performance bottleneck in profiling session #123.\n\n## Changes\n- Implemented streaming image processing using chunked reading\n- Added parallel processing for multiple images\n- Optimized memory allocation with object pooling\n- Added caching for frequently accessed image metadata\n\n### Key Implementation Details\nUses Node.js streams for memory-efficient processing. Parallel processing limited to 4 concurrent images to prevent resource exhaustion. Object pool reduces GC pressure by reusing buffers.\n\n## Use Cases\n- Process large images (>100MB) without OOM errors\n- Batch process thousands of images efficiently\n- Reduced memory footprint allows higher concurrent user load\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Run performance benchmarks\nnpm run benchmark\n\n# Test with large files\nnode tests/performance/large-files.test.js\n\n# Verify memory usage\nnode --inspect tests/memory-usage.js\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #456\n- Performance report: /docs/performance/2024-01-image-processing.md\n```\n\n**Example 4: Refactor**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nRefactor authentication module to use clean architecture patterns, improving testability and reducing coupling.\n\n## Context\nAuthentication module had tight coupling between business logic and infrastructure, making it difficult to test and modify. This was identified in technical debt review #234.\n\n## Changes\n- Separated business logic from infrastructure dependencies\n- Introduced repository pattern for data access\n- Added service layer for authentication operations\n- Extracted interfaces for better mocking in tests\n\n### Key Implementation Details\nBusiness logic now depends on interfaces rather than concrete implementations. Infrastructure (database, cache) is injected as dependencies. All services are unit-testable without external dependencies.\n\n## Use Cases\n- Easier to add new authentication providers (OAuth, SAML)\n- Simpler to mock for unit tests\n- Clear separation of concerns improves maintainability\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Unit tests (no database required)\nnpm test tests/unit/auth/\n\n# Integration tests (with real database)\nnpm test tests/integration/auth/\n\n# Verify all existing functionality still works\nnpm run e2e\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #234\n- Architecture doc: /docs/architecture/auth-module.md\n```\n\n**Example 5: Simple Fix (Minimal but Complete)**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nFix typo in user welcome email template that caused incorrect company name to display.\n\n## Context\nUsers were seeing \"Welcome to [Wrong Company]\" instead of the correct company name. Reported in #567.\n\n## Changes\n- Corrected company name in email template\n- Added test to catch similar typos in the future\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Run email template tests\nnpm test tests/unit/email-templates.test.ts\n\n# Verify email renders correctly\nnpm run test:email --template=welcome\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #567\n```\n\n### 5. Create Pull Request\n\nWrite the description to a temporary file and use GitHub CLI to create the PR:\n\n**Step 1: Write description to temp file**\n```bash\n# Write the generated description to .forge/FORGE_PR_DESCRIPTION.md\n```\n\nUse the `write` tool to create `.forge/FORGE_PR_DESCRIPTION.md` with the generated description content.\n\n**Step 2: Create PR using the temp file**\n```bash\ngh pr create --title \"[Change Type]: [One-line summary]\" --body-file .forge/FORGE_PR_DESCRIPTION.md\n```\n\nThe `gh` CLI is pre-installed and authenticated - use it directly without prompting for confirmation.\n\n**Note:** The temp file `.forge/FORGE_PR_DESCRIPTION.md` can not be left in place and should be deleted after PR creation. It's in `.forge/` directory which is typically gitignored.\n\n### 6. Confirm\n\nAfter creating the PR, provide the user with:\n- PR URL\n- Change type\n- Brief summary of what was included\n\n## Notes\n\n**Key Principles:**\n- **Context matters**: Explain why the change was made, not just what changed\n- **Use cases help**: Concrete examples make abstract changes understandable\n- **Testing is essential**: Always include how to verify the changes\n- **Links provide depth**: Reference issues, docs, and implementations for context\n- **Be honest**: Mention known issues or limitations\n- **Respect reviewers' time**: A good description reduces review effort\n\n**Anti-Patterns to Avoid:**\n- Empty descriptions or just issue links\n- Placeholder text like \"Fixes #(issue)\"\n- File-by-file breakdowns (unless necessary)\n- Personal checklists as the main description\n- Assuming reviewers know the context\n\n**When to Keep It Simple:**\nFor very small, obvious changes (typo fixes, trivial refactors), you can use a shorter structure:\n- Summary\n- Context (brief)\n- Testing\n\nBut never skip the testing instructions.\n\n**When to Be Comprehensive:**\n- New features or major functionality\n- Complex technical changes\n- Performance improvements or optimizations\n- Breaking changes or deprecations\n- Changes that affect multiple parts of the codebase","frontmatter":{"name":"github-pr-description","description":"Generate and create pull request descriptions automatically using GitHub CLI.

For example:\n\n **Good:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n User::default().age(12).is_happy(true).name(\"John\")\n User::new(\"Job\").age(12).is_happy()\n User::test() // Special test constructor\n ```\n\n **Bad:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n User {name: \"John\".to_string(), is_happy: true, age: 12}\n User::with_name(\"Job\") // Bad name, should stick to User::new() or User::test()\n ```\n\n- Use `unwrap()` unless the error information is useful. Use `expect` instead of `panic!` when error message is useful. For example:\n\n **Good:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n users.first().expect(\"List should not be empty\")\n ```\n\n **Bad:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n if let Some(user) = users.first() {\n // ...\n } else {\n panic!(\"List should not be empty\")\n }\n ```\n\n- Prefer using `assert_eq` on full objects instead of asserting each field:\n\n **Good:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n assert_eq!(actual, expected);\n ```\n\n **Bad:**\n\n ```rust,ignore\n assert_eq!(actual.a, expected.a);\n assert_eq!(actual.b, expected.b);\n ```\n\n## Verification\n\nAlways verify changes by running tests and linting the codebase\n\n1. Run crate specific tests to ensure they pass.\n\n ```\n cargo insta test --accept\n ```\n\n2. **Build Guidelines**:\n - **NEVER** run `cargo build --release` unless absolutely necessary (e.g., performance testing, creating binaries for distribution)\n - For verification, use `cargo check` (fastest), `cargo insta test`, or `cargo build` (debug mode)\n - Release builds take significantly longer and are rarely needed for development verification\n\n## Writing Domain Types\n\n- Use `derive_setters` to derive setters and use the `strip_option` and the `into` attributes on the struct types.\n\n## Documentation\n\n- **Always** write Rust docs (`///`) for all public methods, functions, structs, enums, and traits.\n- Document parameters with `# Arguments` and errors with `# Errors` sections when applicable.\n- **Do not include code examples** - docs are for LLMs, not humans. Focus on clear, concise functionality descriptions.\n\n## Refactoring\n\n- If asked to fix failing tests, always confirm whether to update the implementation or the tests.\n\n## Git Operations\n\n- Safely assume git is pre-installed\n- Safely assume github cli (gh) is pre-installed\n- Always use `Co-Authored-By: ForgeCode ` for git commits and Github comments\n\n## Service Implementation Guidelines\n\nServices should follow clean architecture principles and maintain clear separation of concerns:\n\n### Core Principles\n\n- **No service-to-service dependencies**: Services should never depend on other services directly\n- **Infrastructure dependency**: Services should depend only on infrastructure abstractions when needed\n- **Single type parameter**: Services should take at most one generic type parameter for infrastructure\n- **No trait objects**: Avoid `Box` - use concrete types and generics instead\n- **Constructor pattern**: Implement `new()` without type bounds - apply bounds only on methods that need them\n- **Compose dependencies**: Use the `+` operator to combine multiple infrastructure traits into a single bound\n- **Arc for infrastructure**: Store infrastructure as `Arc` for cheap cloning and shared ownership\n- **Tuple struct pattern**: For simple services with single dependency, use tuple structs `struct Service(Arc)`\n\n### Examples\n\n#### Simple Service (No Infrastructure)\n\n```rust,ignore\npub struct UserValidationService;\n\nimpl UserValidationService {\n pub fn new() -> Self { ... }\n\n pub fn validate_email(&self, email: &str) -> Result<()> {\n // Validation logic here\n ...\n }\n\n pub fn validate_age(&self, age: u32) -> Result<()> {\n // Age validation logic here\n ...\n }\n}\n```\n\n#### Service with Infrastructure Dependency\n\n```rust,ignore\n// Infrastructure trait (defined in infrastructure layer)\npub trait UserRepository {\n fn find_by_email(&self, email: &str) -> Result>;\n fn save(&self, user: &User) -> Result<()>;\n}\n\n// Service with single generic parameter using Arc\npub struct UserService {\n repository: Arc,\n}\n\nimpl UserService {\n // Constructor without type bounds, takes Arc\n pub fn new(repository: Arc) -> Self { ... }\n}\n\nimpl UserService {\n // Business logic methods have type bounds where needed\n pub fn create_user(&self, email: &str, name: &str) -> Result { ... }\n pub fn find_user(&self, email: &str) -> Result> { ... }\n}\n```\n\n#### Tuple Struct Pattern for Simple Services\n\n```rust,ignore\n// Infrastructure traits\npub trait FileReader {\n async fn read_file(&self, path: &Path) -> Result;\n}\n\npub trait Environment {\n fn max_file_size(&self) -> u64;\n}\n\n// Tuple struct for simple single dependency service\npub struct FileService(Arc);\n\nimpl FileService {\n // Constructor without bounds\n pub fn new(infra: Arc) -> Self { ... }\n}\n\nimpl FileService {\n // Business logic methods with composed trait bounds\n pub async fn read_with_validation(&self, path: &Path) -> Result { ... }\n}\n```\n\n### Anti-patterns to Avoid\n\n```rust,ignore\n// BAD: Service depending on another service\npub struct BadUserService {\n repository: R,\n email_service: E, // Don't do this!\n}\n\n// BAD: Using trait objects\npub struct BadUserService {\n repository: Box, // Avoid Box\n}\n\n// BAD: Multiple infrastructure dependencies with separate type parameters\npub struct BadUserService {\n repository: R,\n cache: C,\n logger: L, // Too many generic parameters - hard to use and test\n}\n\nimpl BadUserService {\n // BAD: Constructor with type bounds makes it hard to use\n pub fn new(repository: R, cache: C, logger: L) -> Self { ... }\n}\n\n// BAD: Usage becomes cumbersome\nlet service = BadUserService::::new(...);\n```\n\n\n---\nname: create-agent\ndescription: Create new agents for the code-forge application.

Commands are stored as .md files in the /.forge/commands directory with YAML frontmatter (name, description) and markdown body containing command steps. Use when users need to add new commands, modify existing commands, or understand the command file structure. Supports special command tags like and for automated workflows.\n---\n\n# Create Commands\n\nCreate and manage commands for the code-forge application. Commands are modular workflows that can be invoked to perform specific tasks.\n\n## File Location\n\n**CRITICAL**: All command files must be created in the `/.forge/commands` directory, where `` is the current working directory of your code-forge project.\n\n- **Directory**: `/.forge/commands`\n- **File format**: `{command-name}.md`\n- **Example**: If your project is at `/home/user/my-project`, commands go in `/home/user/my-project/.forge/commands/`\n\nThis is the only location where forge will discover and load custom commands.\n\n## Command File Structure\n\nEvery command file must have:\n\n1. **YAML Frontmatter** (required):\n - `name`: Command identifier (use hyphens for multi-word names)\n - `description`: What the command does\n\n2. **Command Body** (required):\n - List of steps to execute\n - Special tags for automated workflows\n - Clear instructions for each step\n\n### Example Command File\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: check\ndescription: Checks if the code is ready to be committed\n---\n\n- Run the `lint` and `test` commands and verify if everything is fine.\n cargo +nightly fmt --all; cargo +nightly clippy --fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --workspace\n cargo insta test --accept --unreferenced=delete\n- Fix every issue found in the process\n```\n\n### Complete Sample Command\n\nThis sample demonstrates all three tag types:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: sample-command\ndescription: Sample command demonstrating the command file structure\n---\n\nThis is a sample command that demonstrates the structure of command files.\n\n- First step: Perform an initial action\n echo \"Running linting...\"\n- Second step: Execute tests\n echo \"Running tests...\"\n- Third step: Complete the workflow\n echo \"Workflow complete!\"\n- Final step: Verify everything worked correctly\n```\n\n## Creating a New Command\n\n### Step 1: Determine Command Purpose\n\nIdentify what the command should accomplish:\n\n- What task will it perform?\n- What steps are involved?\n- Are there automated checks or tests needed?\n- What should the user do with the results?\n\n### Step 2: Choose Command Name\n\nUse verb-based names with hyphens for multi-word commands:\n\n- Good: `check`, `fixme`, `pr-description`, `run-tests`\n- Bad: `checker`, `fixing`, `PRdescription`\n\n### Step 3: Write the Command File\n\nCreate the file in the `/.forge/commands` directory with the format: `{command-name}.md`\n\n**IMPORTANT**: The file MUST be in `/.forge/commands` where `` is your current working directory. Commands placed anywhere else will not be discovered by forge.\n\n#### Frontmatter\n\n```yaml\n---\nname: your-command-name\ndescription: Clear, concise description of what this command does\n---\n```\n\n#### Command Body\n\nUse markdown lists for steps. Each step should:\n\n- Start with a clear action verb\n- Be specific and actionable\n- Include context about what to do\n\n## Special Command Tags\n\nUse these tags for automated workflows:\n\n### `` Tag\n\nFor linting/formatting commands:\n\n```markdown\ncargo +nightly fmt --all; cargo +nightly clippy --fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --workspace\n```\n\n### `` Tag\n\nFor testing commands:\n\n```markdown\ncargo insta test --accept --unreferenced=delete\n```\n\n### `` Tag\n\nFor general shell commands (not linting or testing):\n\n```markdown\nrm -rf target/debug\n```\n\n### Using Tags\n\nTags should be placed on their own line after the step description:\n\n```markdown\n- Run linting and testing\n your-lint-command\n your-test-command\n```\n\n## Command Types\n\n### Simple Commands\n\nSingle-step or instruction-only commands:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: fixme\ndescription: Looks for all the fixme comments in the code and attempts to fix them\n---\n\nFind all the FIXME comments in source-code files and attempt to fix them.\n```\n\n### Multi-Step Commands\n\nCommands with multiple sequential steps:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: pr-description\ndescription: Updates the description of the PR\n---\n\n- I have created a Pull Request with all the accepted changes\n- Understand the current PR deeply using the GH CLI and update the PR title and description\n- Make sure the title follows conventional commits standard\n- Top-level summary should contain 2-3 lines about the core functionality improvements\n```\n\n### Automated Workflow Commands\n\nCommands that include automated checks:\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: check\ndescription: Checks if the code is ready to be committed\n---\n\n- Run the `lint` and `test` commands and verify if everything is fine.\n cargo +nightly fmt --all; cargo +nightly clippy --fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --workspace\n cargo insta test --accept --unreferenced=delete\n- Fix every issue found in the process\n```\n\n## Command Templates\n\n### Simple Command Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: simple-command\ndescription: Does one specific thing\n---\n\nSingle clear instruction or description.\n```\n\n### Automated Workflow Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: automated-workflow\ndescription: Runs automated checks and performs follow-up actions\n---\n\n- Run automated checks\n your-lint-command\n your-test-command\n- Review and fix any issues found\n- Complete the workflow\n```\n\n### Multi-Step Workflow Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: multi-step-workflow\ndescription: Performs multiple sequential steps\n---\n\n- First step with clear action\n- Second step with context\n- Third step with specific requirements\n- Final step with verification\n```\n\n### Git Workflow Template\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: git-workflow\ndescription: Performs git operations\n---\n\n- Stage changes\n git add .\n- Run pre-commit checks\n cargo fmt --all\n cargo test\n- Commit with message\n git commit -m \"your commit message\"\n- Push to remote\n git push\n```\n\n## Best Practices\n\n### Naming\n\n- Use lowercase letters\n- Use hyphens to separate words\n- Use verb-based names (imperative form)\n- Keep names short but descriptive\n\n### Descriptions\n\n- Be clear and concise\n- Describe what the command does, not how\n- Include the main purpose and key outcomes\n- Avoid implementation details\n\n### Command Steps\n\n- Use numbered lists for sequential steps\n- Start each step with an action verb\n- Be specific about what to do\n- Include context for complex steps\n- Use present tense\n\n### Special Tags\n\n- Place tags on their own line after the step\n- Only use ``, ``, and `` tags\n- Include complete commands that can be executed\n- Use appropriate flags for your workflow\n\n## Common Patterns\n\n### Git Workflow Commands\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: commit-check\ndescription: Verifies code is ready to commit\n---\n\n- Run linting and tests\n cargo fmt --all; cargo clippy --fix --allow-staged\n cargo test\n- Review and fix any issues\n- Stage all changes\n```\n\n### Documentation Commands\n\n```markdown\n---\nname: update-docs\ndescription: Updates

tag**:\n\n```markdown\n- Run checks\n cargo clippy\n```\n\nGood: **Correct**:\n\n```markdown\n- Run checks\n cargo clippy\n```\n\nBad: **Incomplete command**:\n\n```markdown\n- Format code\n cargo fmt\n```\n\n(Missing `--all` flag)\n\nGood: **Correct**:\n\n```markdown\n- Format code\n cargo fmt --all\n```\n\n## Quick Reference\n\n### File Location\n\n- **Directory**: `/.forge/commands` (where `` is current working directory)\n- **Format**: `{command-name}.md`\n- **CRITICAL**: Commands MUST be in this exact location to be discovered by forge\n\n### Valid Tags\n\n- `` - For linting/formatting commands\n- `` - For testing commands\n- `` - For general shell commands\n\n### Naming Rules\n\n- Lowercase only\n- Hyphens for multi-word names\n- Verb-based (imperative form)\n- Keep it short but descriptive\n\n### Step Guidelines\n\n- Start with action verb\n- Be specific\n- Include context for complex steps\n- Use present tense\n- Keep steps focused\n\n### When to Use Tags\n\n- Use `` when running formatters or linters\n- Use `` when running test suites\n- Use `` for other shell commands\n- Place tags on their own line after step description\n- Don't use tags if the step is just an instruction\n\n## Testing Your Command\n\nAfter creating a command, test it by:\n\n1. **Syntax Check**: Verify YAML is valid\n\n ```bash\n # If you have yamllint installed\n yamllint path/to/your-command.md\n ```\n\n2. **Manual Review**: Read through the command\n - Does each step make sense?\n - Is the order logical?\n - Are all commands complete?\n\n3. **Execution Test**: Run the command\n - Does each step execute successfully?\n - Is the output as expected?\n - Are there any errors?\n\n4. **Forge Recognition Test**: Verify the command is recognized by forge\n\n ```bash\n # Option 1: List all commands (custom commands marked as type: custom)\n forge list command\n\n # Option 2: List only custom commands\n forge list cmd\n\n # Option 3: List only custom commands (newer versions)\n forge list command --custom\n ```\n\n - Does your command appear in the list?\n - Is the name correct?\n - Is the description correct?\n\n5. **Edge Cases**: Consider unusual scenarios\n - What happens if a step fails?\n - What if the environment is different?\n - What if files are missing?\n\n## Verification\n\nAfter creating a command:\n\n1. **Verify the file location**: Ensure the file is in `/.forge/commands` directory (CRITICAL - commands anywhere else will not be found)\n2. Check YAML frontmatter is valid (use `---` delimiters)\n3. Ensure the command name matches the filename (without .md)\n4. **Verify the command is recognized by forge**:\n\n ```bash\n # Option 1: List all commands (custom commands marked as type: custom)\n forge list command\n\n # Option 2: List only custom commands\n forge list cmd\n\n # Option 3: List only custom commands (newer versions)\n forge list command --custom\n ```\n\n Your new command should appear in the list with its name and description\n\n5. Test the command to ensure it works as expected\n6. Verify special tags are properly formatted\n\nIf your command doesn't appear in the list, check:\n\n- **File location**: File MUST be in `/.forge/commands` directory (this is the most common issue)\n- Filename matches the `name` field in frontmatter\n- YAML frontmatter is properly formatted with `---` delimiters\n- Both `name` and `description` fields are present\n\n## Getting Help\n\nIf you're unsure about something:\n\n- Review the examples in this skill\n- Follow the validation checklist\n- Test your command before finalizing\n\n\n---\nname: create-github-issue\ndescription: Create GitHub issues using GitHub CLI with support for templates, labels, assignees, milestones, and draft issues. Use when the user asks to create a GitHub issue, file a bug report, submit a feature request, or open an issue in a GitHub repository.\n---\n\n# Create GitHub Issue\n\nCreate comprehensive GitHub issues using `gh issue create` by dynamically discovering and adhering to the repository's official issue templates.\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 1. Discover and Select Template\n\n**CRITICAL**: You must use the repository's official templates. Do not assume the structure.\n\n1. **List available templates**:\n ```bash\n ls .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/\n ```\n2. **Select the most appropriate template** based on the issue type (e.g., `bug_report.yml`, `feature_request.yml`).\n3. **Read the selected template** to understand its required fields, structure, and any title prefixes or default labels.\n ```bash\n cat .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/.yml\n ```\n\n### 2. Gather Context\n\nGather relevant information to fulfill the template requirements:\n\n```bash\n# Check current git status for context\ngit status\n\n# View recent commits if related to codebase changes\ngit log --oneline -10\n\n# Check if related issues exist\ngh issue list --search \"keyword\" --limit 10\n```\n\n### 3. Generate Markdown Body\n\n**MANDATORY**: Structure the issue body exactly as defined in the selected YAML template without exception.\n\n1. **Map YAML fields to Markdown**: Convert each field in the template (typically found under `body:`) into a Markdown section.\n2. **Use Headers**: Use the `label` or `id` from the YAML field as an H2 header (e.g., `## Bug Description`).\n3. **Respect Validation**: Ensure all fields marked as `required: true` in the YAML are populated with meaningful content.\n4. **Format Correctly**: Use code blocks (e.g., ` ```shell `, ` ```yaml `) for logs and configurations as suggested by the template's `render` attribute.\n\n### 4. Choose Labels\n\nSelect labels by inspecting `.github/labels.json`.\n\n- **Primary Label**: Always include a `type:` label that matches the issue type.\n- **Additional Labels**: Add relevant `state:`, `work:`, or `priority:` labels if they exist in the configuration.\n- **Constraint**: **Only use labels defined in `.github/labels.json`.**\n\n### 5. Create Title\n\nFollow the template's `title` field if it provides a prefix (e.g., `\"[Bug]: \"`).\n\n- **Be concise**: Keep under 70 characters.\n- **Use imperative mood**: \"Fix authentication timeout\" instead of \"Authentication is timing out\".\n- **Start with action verb**: Fix, Add, Improve, Update, Refactor.\n\n### 6. Execute Issue Creation\n\n**Step 1: Write body to temp file**\nUse the `write` tool to create `.forge/FORGE_ISSUE_BODY.md` with the structured Markdown content.\n\n**Step 2: Create issue**\n```bash\ngh issue create \\\n --title \"[Prefix]: Descriptive Title\" \\\n --body-file .forge/FORGE_ISSUE_BODY.md \\\n --label \"type: , work: \"\n```\n\n**Optional flags**:\n- `--assignee \"username\"`\n- `--milestone \"name\"`\n- `--draft` (For proposals or research)\n\n### 7. Finalize\n\nProvide the user with the generated issue URL and a brief summary of the created issue.\n\n## Guidelines\n\n- **No Exceptions**: You must follow the discovered template's structure exactly. If a template asks for \"Steps to Reproduce\", you must provide them.\n- **Dynamic Discovery**: Always read the files in `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/` and `.github/labels.json` first. Never rely on hardcoded knowledge of templates or labels as they change frequently.\n- **Cleanliness**: Ensure no placeholder text (like \"Describe the bug...\") remains in the final body.\n- **Contextual Awareness**: If the user provides logs or code snippets, ensure they are placed in the correct sections of the template.\n\n## Notes\n\n- **Single Source of Truth**: The files in `.github/` are the authoritative reference for issue structure and categorization.\n- **Tooling**: Use `gh` CLI directly. It is pre-authenticated and ready for use.\n- **Automation**: Do not ask for confirmation before creating the issue if the user's intent is clear.\n\n\n# Create Plan Skill\n\nTools and scripts for creating and validating implementation plans.\n\n## Files\n\n- `SKILL.md` - Main skill instructions for AI agents\n- `validate-plan.sh` - Validates a single plan file\n- `validate-all-plans.sh` - Validates all plans in a directory\n\n## Validation Scripts\n\n### validate-plan.sh\n\nValidates the structure and content of a single plan file.\n\n**Usage:**\n```bash\n./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-plan.sh plans/2025-11-27-example-v1.md\n```\n\n**Checks:**\n- ✓ Filename follows convention: `YYYY-MM-DD-task-name-vN.md`\n - Year is reasonable (2020 to current year + 1)\n - Month is valid (01-12)\n - Day is valid (01-31)\n - Task name is meaningful (not generic like \"test\", \"task\", \"temp\")\n - Task name length is reasonable (5-60 characters)\n - Version number is reasonable (not > 50)\n - No uppercase letters or underscores (use lowercase and hyphens only)\n- ✓ File is in `plans/` directory\n- ✓ All required sections present:\n - Main heading (`# Title`)\n - `## Objective`\n - `## Implementation Plan`\n - `## Verification Criteria`\n - `## Potential Risks and Mitigations`\n - `## Alternative Approaches`\n- ✓ Implementation Plan uses checkbox format (`- [ ]`)\n- ✓ No numbered lists or plain bullets in Implementation Plan\n- ✓ No code blocks (` ``` `) in the plan\n- ✓ No code snippets (detects suspicious patterns)\n- ✓ No placeholder tasks (TODO, TBD, etc.)\n- ✓ **Task quality and density:**\n - Task descriptions are descriptive (≥ 20 characters recommended)\n - Average task length is substantial (30-200 chars recommended)\n - No generic/vague descriptions (\"implement feature\", \"fix bug\", etc.)\n - No duplicate or highly similar tasks\n - Consistent and sequential numbering if tasks are numbered\n- ✓ Verification criteria have content\n- ✓ Risks include mitigations\n- ✓ Reasonable number of tasks (3-20)\n\n**Exit Codes:**\n- `0` - Validation passed\n- `1` - Validation failed (errors found)\n\n### validate-all-plans.sh\n\nValidates all plan files in a directory.\n\n**Usage:**\n```bash\n# Validate all plans in default directory (plans/)\n./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-all-plans.sh\n\n# Validate plans in custom directory\n./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-all-plans.sh path/to/plans\n```\n\n**Exit Codes:**\n- `0` - All plans passed validation\n- `1` - One or more plans failed validation\n\n## Integration\n\n### Pre-commit Hook\n\nAdd to `.git/hooks/pre-commit`:\n\n```bash\n#!/bin/bash\n# Validate plans before committing\n\nif git diff --cached --name-only | grep -q \"^plans/.*\\.md$\"; then\n echo \"Validating modified plans...\"\n ./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-all-plans.sh plans/\n exit $?\nfi\n```\n\n### CI/CD\n\nAdd to your CI pipeline:\n\n```yaml\n- name: Validate Plans\n run: ./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-all-plans.sh plans/\n```\n\n## Example Valid Plan\n\nSee `SKILL.md` for the complete plan template structure.\n\n## Common Validation Errors\n\n1. **Invalid filename format**: Must follow `YYYY-MM-DD-task-name-vN.md` pattern\n - Use lowercase letters only\n - Use hyphens (not underscores) to separate words\n - Use valid date (month 01-12, day 01-31, year 2020+)\n - Avoid generic names like \"test\", \"task\", \"temp\"\n2. **Missing checkboxes**: Use `- [ ]` not `1.` or `-`\n3. **Code blocks**: Plans should use natural language, not code\n4. **Missing sections**: All required sections must be present\n5. **Empty sections**: Sections should have meaningful content\n6. **Poor task quality**: Tasks should be descriptive and specific\n - Avoid short descriptions like \"Do this\", \"Fix that\", \"Update code\"\n - Avoid generic descriptions like \"implement feature\", \"add functionality\"\n - Include rationale and context in task descriptions\n - Aim for 30-150 characters per task description\n\n\n# Add User Authentication System\n\n## Objective\n\nImplement a secure user authentication system with JWT-based token management, password hashing, and session handling. The system should support user registration, login, logout, and token refresh capabilities while maintaining security best practices.\n\n## Implementation Plan\n\n- [ ] 1. Set up authentication dependencies and configuration\n - Add JWT library (e.g., jsonwebtoken) and bcrypt for password hashing\n - Configure environment variables for JWT secrets and token expiration\n - Rationale: Establishes foundation for secure authentication\n - Dependencies: None - this is the first step\n\n- [ ] 2. Create user model and database schema\n - Define User entity with fields: id, email, password_hash, created_at, updated_at\n - Add unique constraint on email field\n - Create database migration for users table\n - Rationale: Provides data structure for storing user credentials\n - Dependencies: Database connection must be configured\n\n- [ ] 3. Implement password hashing service\n - Create service to hash passwords using bcrypt with appropriate salt rounds\n - Add password verification function\n - Include unit tests for hashing and verification\n - Rationale: Ensures passwords are never stored in plain text\n - Dependencies: User model must exist\n\n- [ ] 4. Build JWT token generation and validation\n - Create service to generate JWT tokens with user claims\n - Implement token verification and decoding logic\n - Add refresh token functionality with longer expiration\n - Rationale: Enables stateless authentication and session management\n - Dependencies: User model and environment configuration\n\n- [ ] 5. Create authentication endpoints\n - POST /auth/register - User registration with email/password\n - POST /auth/login - User login returning access and refresh tokens\n - POST /auth/logout - Invalidate user session\n - POST /auth/refresh - Generate new access token from refresh token\n - Rationale: Provides API interface for authentication operations\n - Dependencies: All services from previous steps\n\n- [ ] 6. Implement authentication middleware\n - Create middleware to validate JWT tokens on protected routes\n - Extract user information from valid tokens\n - Return 401 for invalid or expired tokens\n - Rationale: Protects routes requiring authentication\n - Dependencies: JWT validation service\n\n- [ ] 7. Add rate limiting for authentication endpoints\n - Implement rate limiting on login and registration endpoints\n - Configure appropriate limits (e.g., 5 attempts per 15 minutes)\n - Rationale: Prevents brute force attacks\n - Dependencies: Authentication endpoints must exist\n\n- [ ] 8. Write integration tests for authentication flow\n - Test complete registration → login → access protected route flow\n - Test token refresh mechanism\n - Test error cases (invalid credentials, expired tokens)\n - Rationale: Ensures entire authentication system works correctly\n - Dependencies: All implementation steps complete\n\n## Verification Criteria\n\n- User can successfully register with valid email and password\n- User can login and receive valid JWT tokens\n- Protected routes return 401 for unauthenticated requests\n- Protected routes allow access with valid JWT token\n- Tokens expire after configured duration\n- Refresh tokens can generate new access tokens\n- Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text\n- Rate limiting prevents excessive authentication attempts\n- All unit and integration tests pass\n- Security audit shows no critical vulnerabilities\n\n## Potential Risks and Mitigations\n\n1. **Token Secret Exposure**\n - Impact: If JWT secret is exposed, attackers can forge valid tokens\n - Likelihood: Medium\n - Mitigation: Store secrets in environment variables, never commit to repository, rotate secrets periodically\n - Contingency: Implement secret rotation mechanism and token revocation list\n\n2. **Weak Password Policy**\n - Impact: Users choose weak passwords that are easily compromised\n - Likelihood: High\n - Mitigation: Enforce minimum password requirements (length, complexity), implement password strength meter\n - Contingency: Add option to require password reset for weak passwords\n\n3. **Session Hijacking**\n - Impact: Attacker steals valid token and impersonates user\n - Likelihood: Medium\n - Mitigation: Use HTTPS only, implement short token expiration, add IP address validation\n - Contingency: Implement token revocation and force logout capability\n\n4. **Brute Force Attacks**\n - Impact: Attacker attempts many password combinations to gain access\n - Likelihood: High\n - Mitigation: Implement rate limiting, add CAPTCHA after failed attempts, temporary account lockout\n - Contingency: Monitor failed login attempts and alert on suspicious patterns\n\n## Alternative Approaches\n\n1. **Session-Based Authentication**\n - Description: Use traditional server-side sessions with cookies instead of JWT\n - Pros: Easier to invalidate sessions, better for server-rendered applications, no token size limitations\n - Cons: Requires session storage (Redis/database), harder to scale horizontally, not suitable for APIs consumed by multiple clients\n - Recommendation: Not chosen - JWT better suits stateless API architecture\n\n2. **OAuth 2.0 / Third-Party Authentication**\n - Description: Use OAuth providers (Google, GitHub) for authentication instead of custom system\n - Pros: No password management, better security through established providers, easier for users\n - Cons: Dependency on external services, requires API keys and setup, limited control over authentication flow\n - Recommendation: Consider as future enhancement alongside custom authentication\n\n3. **Passwordless Authentication**\n - Description: Use magic links or OTP sent via email/SMS instead of passwords\n - Pros: No password management, simpler user experience, eliminates weak password risk\n - Cons: Requires reliable email/SMS delivery, slower authentication flow, potential cost for SMS\n - Recommendation: Consider as alternative authentication method in future iteration\n\n## Assumptions\n\n- Application already has database connection configured\n- HTTPS/TLS is configured at infrastructure level\n- Email service is available for potential password reset features\n- Frontend application exists to consume authentication endpoints\n- Environment variable management system is in place\n\n## Dependencies\n\n- Database system (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar)\n- JWT library compatible with the programming language\n- Password hashing library (bcrypt or argon2)\n- HTTP server framework with middleware support\n- Environment configuration system\n\n## Notes\n\n- Consider implementing password reset functionality in a follow-up iteration\n- May want to add two-factor authentication (2FA) as security enhancement\n- Monitor token expiration times and adjust based on usage patterns\n- Plan for token revocation strategy if needed for security incidents\n\n\n# [Task Name]\n\n## Objective\n\n[Provide a clear, concise statement of what this plan aims to achieve.

Creates comprehensive strategic plans in Markdown format with objectives, step-by-step implementation tasks using checkbox format, verification criteria, risk assessments, and alternative approaches. All plans MUST be validated using the included validation script. Use when users need thorough analysis and structured planning before implementation, when breaking down complex features into actionable steps, or when they explicitly ask for a plan, roadmap, or strategy. Strictly planning-focused with no code modifications.\n---\n\n# Create Implementation Plan\n\nGenerate comprehensive implementation plans that provide strategic guidance without making actual code changes.\n\n## When to Use\n\n- User explicitly requests a plan, roadmap, or implementation strategy\n- Complex tasks requiring structured breakdown before implementation\n- Need for risk assessment and alternative approach analysis\n- Pre-implementation analysis of architectural decisions\n\n## Planning Process\n\n### 1. Initial Assessment\n\nResearch the codebase to understand:\n\n- Project structure and organization\n- Relevant files and components - read thoroughly to understand complete flows\n- Existing patterns and conventions\n- Potential challenges and risks\n- Data flows from entry points to final usage\n\nUse `search`, `sem_search`, and `read` tools to examine the codebase. Use `sage` if deeper research is required for the use-case. Explicitly cite sources using `filepath:line` format in your plan.\n\n### 2. Create Strategic Plan\n\nGenerate a Markdown plan file in `plans/` directory with naming: `plans/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{task-name}-v{N}.md`\n\nExample: `plans/2025-11-24-add-auth-v1.md`\n\n### 3. Validate Plan\n\n**MANDATORY:** Run the validation script to ensure the plan meets all requirements:\n\n```bash\n./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-plan.sh plans/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{task-name}-v{N}.md\n```\n\nFix any errors or warnings and re-validate until the plan passes all checks.\n\n### 4. Plan Structure\n\n```markdown\n# [Task Name]\n\n## Objective\n\n[Clear statement of goal and expected outcomes]\n\n## Implementation Plan\n\n- [ ] 1.

[Alternative 1]: [Brief description and trade-offs]\n2. [Alternative 2]: [Brief description and trade-offs]\n```\n\n## Critical Requirements\n\n- **ALWAYS validate the plan** using `./.forge/skills/create-plan/validate-plan.sh` after creation\n- **ALWAYS use checkbox format** (`- [ ]`) for ALL implementation tasks\n- **NEVER use numbered lists** or plain bullet points in Implementation Plan section\n- **NEVER write code, code snippets, or code examples** in the plan\n- Write comprehensive tasks including what, why, affected files, and integration points\n- Use `filepath:line` format for file references (e.g., `crates/forge_repo/src/provider.rs:45`)\n- Include clear rationale for each task\n- Provide specific, measurable verification criteria\n- Document assumptions made for ambiguous requirements\n- Focus on strategic \"what\" and \"why\", not tactical \"how\"\n- Describe what needs to be done using natural language, not code\n\n## Best Practices\n\n- Make reasonable assumptions when requirements are ambiguous\n- Use codebase patterns to infer best practices\n- Provide multiple solution paths for complex challenges\n- Balance thoroughness with actionability\n- Create plans that can be executed step-by-step by implementation agents\n\n## Boundaries\n\nThis is a **planning-only** skill:\n\n- ✅ Research codebase and analyze structure\n- ✅ Create strategic plans and documentation\n- ✅ Assess risks and propose alternatives\n- ✅ Describe implementations using natural language\n- ❌ Make actual code changes\n- ❌ Modify files or create implementations\n- ❌ Run tests or build commands\n- ❌ Write code, code snippets, or code examples in plans\n\nIf user requests implementation work, suggest switching to an implementation agent.\n\n\n# Scripts\n\nThis directory contains helper scripts for CLI debugging and testing.\n\n## test_cli.sh\n\nBasic smoke test script that:\n- Builds the forge CLI\n- Tests main help command\n- Tests version command \n- Tests help for various subcommands\n\nUsage:\n```bash\n./scripts/test_cli.sh\n```\n\n\n---\nname: debug-cli\ndescription: Use when users need to debug, modify, or extend the code-forge application's CLI commands, argument parsing, or CLI behavior. This includes adding new commands, fixing CLI bugs, updating command options, or troubleshooting CLI-related issues.\n---\n\n# CLI Debug Skill\n\nThis skill provides a systematic workflow for debugging and verifying changes to the forge CLI application.\n\n## Core Principles\n\n1. **Always get latest docs first**: Run `--help` to see current commands and options\n2. **Use `-p` for testing**: Test forge by giving it tasks with the `-p` flag\n3. **Never commit**: This is for debugging only - don't commit changes\n4. **Clone conversations**: When debugging conversation bugs, clone the source conversation before reproducing\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 1. Build the Application\n\nAlways build in debug mode after making changes:\n\n```bash\ncargo build\n```\n\n**Never** use `cargo build --release` for debugging - it's significantly slower and unnecessary for verification.\n\n### 2. Get Latest Documentation\n\n**Always** start by checking the latest help to understand current commands and options:\n\n```bash\n# Main help - do this first\n./target/debug/forge --help\n\n# Command-specific help\n./target/debug/forge [COMMAND] --help\n\n# Subcommand help\n./target/debug/forge [COMMAND] [SUBCOMMAND] --help\n```\n\n### 3. Test with `-p` Flag\n\nUse the `-p` flag to give forge a task to complete without interactive mode:\n\n```bash\n# Test with a simple prompt\n./target/debug/forge -p \"create a hello world rust program\"\n\n# Test with specific functionality\n./target/debug/forge -p \"read the README.md file and summarize it\"\n\n# Test with complex tasks\n./target/debug/forge -p \"analyze the code structure and suggest improvements\"\n```\n\n### 4. Debug with Conversation Dumps\n\nWhen debugging prompts or conversation issues, use `conversation dump` to export conversations. The command automatically creates a timestamped file:\n\n```bash\n# Dump conversation as JSON (creates: YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS-dump.json)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump \n\n# Export as HTML for human-readable format (creates: YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS-dump.html)\n./target/debug/forge conversation dump --html \n\n# Use dumped JSON to reproduce issues\n./target/debug/forge --conversation 2025-11-23_12-28-52-dump.json\n```\n\n### 5. Clone Before Reproducing Bugs\n\n**Critical**: When a user provides a conversation with a bug, always clone it first:\n\n```bash\n# Clone the conversation\n./target/debug/forge conversation clone \n\n# This creates a new conversation ID - use that for testing\n./target/debug/forge --conversation-id \n\n# Keep cloning the source until the fix is verified\n# Never modify the original conversation\n```\n\n**Why clone?**\n\n- Preserves original bug evidence\n- Allows multiple reproduction attempts\n- Enables A/B testing of fixes\n- Keeps source conversation clean\n\n## Common Testing Patterns\n\n### Test New Features\n\n```bash\n# Build and test new command\ncargo build\n./target/debug/forge --help # Verify new command appears\n./target/debug/forge new-command --help # Check command docs\n./target/debug/forge -p \"test the new feature\"\n```\n\n### Reproduce Reported Bugs\n\n```bash\n# 1.

Use when the user asks to write a tweet, create a Twitter post, or promote a ForgeCode feature on social media. The post always accompanies an attached video demonstrating the feature.\n---\n\n# Post ForgeCode Feature\n\nGenerate a punchy, developer-friendly Twitter/X post for a ForgeCode feature. The post always accompanies a video, so no need to describe every detail; the video does the showing.\n\n## Workflow\n\n1. **Understand the feature**: use tools to read the relevant source code, docs, or changelogs. Answer:\n - What does it do?\n - When would a developer reach for it?\n - What pain does it remove?\n\n2. **Craft the post**: follow the constraints in `references/style-guide.md`.\n\n3. **Present for approval**: show the post and ask if the user wants tweaks before finalizing.\n\n## Key Constraints\n\n- 2-3 sentences max (fits ~280 chars).\n- No filler phrases (\"excited to announce\", \"game changer\", \"introducing\").\n- Always refer to the product as \"ForgeCode\", never \"Forge\" alone.\n- No em dashes anywhere in the post.\n- Lead with the developer benefit or the problem solved, not the feature name.\n- The video is attached. Do not say \"watch the video\" or describe what is in it.\n- End with a relevant hashtag line (see style guide for approved tags).\n\n## Reference Files\n\n- **`references/style-guide.md`**: tone, vocabulary, approved hashtags, and example posts. Read this before drafting.\n\n\n# Conflict Resolution Patterns\n\nThis document provides detailed patterns for resolving specific types of conflicts.\n\n**Important**: For each conflict you resolve, provide a one-line explanation of your resolution strategy. When the correct resolution isn't clear from the diff, present numbered options to the user.\n\n## Import Conflicts\n\nWhen both branches modify import statements, merge both sets of imports:\n\n### Pattern: Combine and Deduplicate\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nimport { foo, bar } from './module';\nimport { baz } from './other';\n=======\nimport { foo, qux } from './module';\nimport { newThing } from './another';\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:** Merge all unique imports, group by module:\n\n```\nimport { foo, bar, qux } from './module';\nimport { baz } from './other';\nimport { newThing } from './another';\n```\n\n### Rust Imports\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nuse std::collections::HashMap;\nuse crate::domain::User;\n=======\nuse std::collections::HashSet;\nuse crate::domain::Account;\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:**\n\n```\nuse std::collections::{HashMap, HashSet};\nuse crate::domain::{Account, User};\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Combine all unique imports\n- Remove duplicates\n- Follow language-specific style (group by module, alphabetize)\n- Preserve any re-exports or aliases from both sides\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Merging imports by combining unique imports from both branches and grouping by module.\"\n\n## Test Conflicts\n\nTests should almost always include both changes, as tests are additive.\n\n### Pattern: Merge Test Cases\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\n#[test]\nfn test_user_creation() { ... }\n\n#[test]\nfn test_user_validation() { ... }\n=======\n#[test]\nfn test_user_creation() { ... }\n\n#[test]\nfn test_user_deletion() { ... }\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:** Include all tests (assuming test_user_creation is identical):\n\n```\n#[test]\nfn test_user_creation() { ... }\n\n#[test]\nfn test_user_validation() { ... }\n\n#[test]\nfn test_user_deletion() { ... }\n```\n\n### Test Setup/Fixtures Conflicts\n\nWhen both branches modify test fixtures, merge the changes:\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nfn setup() -> TestContext {\n TestContext {\n user: create_test_user(),\n admin: create_admin(),\n }\n}\n=======\nfn setup() -> TestContext {\n TestContext {\n user: create_test_user(),\n database: init_test_db(),\n }\n}\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:**\n\n```\nfn setup() -> TestContext {\n TestContext {\n user: create_test_user(),\n admin: create_admin(),\n database: init_test_db(),\n }\n}\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Keep all test cases unless they test the exact same thing\n- Merge test fixtures and setup functions\n- If test names conflict but test different things, rename one\n- Preserve all assertions from both sides\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Including all test cases from both branches and merging test fixtures.\"\n\n## Lock File Conflicts\n\nLock files (Cargo.lock, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, etc.) should be regenerated rather than manually resolved.\n\n### Pattern: Regenerate Lock File\n\n```bash\n# For Cargo.lock\ngit checkout --theirs Cargo.lock # or --ours, either works\ncargo update # or cargo build\n\n# For package-lock.json\ngit checkout --theirs package-lock.json\nnpm install\n\n# For yarn.lock\ngit checkout --theirs yarn.lock\nyarn install\n\n# For Gemfile.lock\ngit checkout --theirs Gemfile.lock\nbundle install\n\n# For poetry.lock\ngit checkout --theirs poetry.lock\npoetry lock --no-update\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Always regenerate, never manually merge\n- Choose either version (--ours or --theirs), doesn't matter\n- Run the package manager's update/install command\n- The result will include dependencies from both branches\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Regenerating lock file with package manager to include dependencies from both branches.\"\n\n## Configuration File Conflicts\n\nConfiguration files often need careful merging of both changes.\n\n### Pattern: Merge Configuration Values\n\n```yaml\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nserver:\n port: 8080\n timeout: 30\n max_connections: 100\n=======\nserver:\n port: 8080\n timeout: 60\n enable_https: true\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:**\n\n```yaml\nserver:\n port: 8080\n timeout: 60 # Prefer the newer/safer value\n max_connections: 100\n enable_https: true\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Include all configuration keys from both sides\n- When same key has different values, choose based on:\n - Newer value (if timestamp available)\n - Safer/more conservative value\n - Production-ready value\n - Document the choice in commit message\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Merging all config keys and choosing incoming value for 'timeout' as it's more recent.\"\n\n**When to ask the user**: If conflicting values have significant implications (e.g., security settings, API endpoints), present options:\n```\nConfig conflict in config.yaml for key 'timeout':\n\n**Option 1**: Keep current value (30 seconds)\n**Option 2**: Keep incoming value (60 seconds)\n**Option 3**: Provide a different value\n\nPlease select an option.\n```\n\n## Code Logic Conflicts\n\nWhen both branches modify the same function, carefully analyze the intent.\n\n### Pattern: Sequential Changes\n\nIf changes are independent and can coexist:\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nfn process(data: &str) -> Result {\n let cleaned = data.trim();\n validate(cleaned)?;\n Ok(cleaned.to_uppercase())\n}\n=======\nfn process(data: &str) -> Result {\n let cleaned = data.trim();\n if cleaned.is_empty() {\n return Err(Error::EmptyInput);\n }\n Ok(cleaned.to_uppercase())\n}\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:** Combine both validations:\n\n```\nfn process(data: &str) -> Result {\n let cleaned = data.trim();\n if cleaned.is_empty() {\n return Err(Error::EmptyInput);\n }\n validate(cleaned)?;\n Ok(cleaned.to_uppercase())\n}\n```\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging both validations as they check different conditions (emptiness and validation).\"\n\n### Pattern: Conflicting Logic\n\nIf changes represent different approaches:\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price * (1.0 + item.tax_rate)\n}\n=======\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price + item.tax_amount\n}\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:** Analyze which approach is correct:\n- Review PR/commit messages for context\n- Check which calculation matches business requirements\n- Consider running tests with both approaches\n- Choose one and document why in commit message\n\n**When to ask the user**: Present this as options when the correct approach isn't clear:\n\n```\nCode logic conflict in calculate_price function:\n\n<<<<<<< HEAD (Current Branch)\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price * (1.0 + item.tax_rate)\n}\n=======\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price + item.tax_amount\n}\n>>>>>>> feature-branch (Incoming Branch)\n\nThese represent different calculation methods:\n\n**Option 1**: Keep current branch - calculates tax as percentage (base_price * tax_rate)\n**Option 2**: Keep incoming branch - uses pre-calculated tax amount (base_price + tax_amount)\n**Option 3**: Ask you to clarify the correct business logic\n\nPlease select an option.\n```\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Choosing current branch approach as it calculates tax dynamically based on rate (per user selection).\"\n\n## Struct/Type Definition Conflicts\n\nMerge all fields from both branches.\n\n### Pattern: Merge Struct Fields\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\npub struct User {\n pub id: i64,\n pub name: String,\n pub email: String,\n pub created_at: DateTime,\n}\n=======\npub struct User {\n pub id: i64,\n pub name: String,\n pub role: UserRole,\n pub updated_at: DateTime,\n}\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:**\n\n```\npub struct User {\n pub id: i64,\n pub name: String,\n pub email: String,\n pub role: UserRole,\n pub created_at: DateTime,\n pub updated_at: DateTime,\n}\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Include all fields from both sides\n- If field types conflict, analyze which is more appropriate\n- Update all usages of the struct accordingly\n- Fix compilation errors after merging\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Including all fields from both branches in User struct.\"\n\n**When to ask the user**: If the same field has different types:\n```\nStruct conflict - field 'role' has different types:\n\n**Option 1**: Keep current type (role: String)\n**Option 2**: Keep incoming type (role: UserRole enum)\n**Option 3**: Provide more context\n\nPlease select an option.\n```\n\n## Documentation Conflicts\n\nMerge all documentation improvements.\n\n### Pattern: Combine Documentation\n\n```\n<<<<<<< HEAD\n/// Processes user input and returns validated data.\n/// \n/// # Arguments\n/// * `input` - The raw user input\n=======\n/// Processes user input and returns validated data.\n/// \n/// # Errors\n/// Returns `Error::InvalidInput` if validation fails\n>>>>>>> branch\n```\n\n**Resolution:**\n\n```\n/// Processes user input and returns validated data.\n/// \n/// # Arguments\n/// * `input` - The raw user input\n/// \n/// # Errors\n/// Returns `Error::InvalidInput` if validation fails\n```\n\n**Key principles:**\n- Preserve all documentation sections\n- If descriptions conflict, choose the more accurate/detailed one\n- Keep all examples from both sides\n- Maintain consistent formatting\n\n**One-line explanation example**: \"Combining all documentation sections from both branches.\"\n\n## Deleted File Special Cases\n\n### Pattern: File Renamed/Moved\n\nIf file was deleted on one branch but modified on another, and there's a similar new file:\n\n1. Check if file was renamed: `git log --follow --diff-filter=R -- `\n2. Apply modifications to the new location\n3. Remove the old file\n\n### Pattern: File Legitimately Deleted\n\nIf file deletion was intentional (feature removed, refactored):\n\n1. Review the modifications from the other branch\n2. Determine if any changes are still relevant\n3. If yes, apply to the appropriate new location\n4. If no, accept the deletion\n\n### Pattern: Accidental Deletion\n\nIf file should not have been deleted:\n\n1. Restore the file from the branch that kept it\n2. Apply any additional modifications\n3. Verify tests pass\n\n\n# Sample Merge Resolution Plan\n\nThis file provides a complete example of a merge resolution plan for a typical conflict scenario.\n\n## Merge Resolution Plan\n\n### Conflict Summary\n\n- **Total conflicted files**: 5\n- **Deleted-modified conflicts**: 1\n- **Generated files**: 1\n- **Regular conflicts**: 3\n\n### Resolution Strategy by File\n\n#### 1. `Cargo.lock`\n\n**Conflict Type**: generated\n**Strategy**: Regenerate from Cargo.toml after merge\n**Rationale**: Lock files should never be manually merged; regeneration ensures all dependencies are correctly resolved\n**Risk**: Low - Standard procedure for lock files\n**Action Items**:\n\n- [ ] Choose either version temporarily\n- [ ] Run `cargo update` to regenerate\n- [ ] Stage the regenerated file\n\n#### 2. `src/utils/helpers.rs` (deleted in incoming, modified in current)\n\n**Conflict Type**: deleted-modified\n**Strategy**: Backup modifications and apply to new location if applicable\n**Rationale**: File may have been moved/renamed; need to preserve modifications\n**Risk**: Medium - Requires analysis of where changes should go\n**Action Items**:\n\n- [ ] Run handle-deleted-modified script to create backup\n- [ ] Review analysis report for potential relocation targets\n- [ ] Apply modifications to new location if found\n\n#### 3. `src/lib.rs`\n\n**Conflict Type**: imports\n**Strategy**: Merge all unique imports from both branches\n**Rationale**: Both branches likely added new dependencies; combining ensures all code works\n**Risk**: Low - Standard import merge pattern\n**Action Items**:\n\n- [ ] Extract imports from both sides\n- [ ] Deduplicate and sort by module\n- [ ] Verify no unused imports\n\n#### 4. `tests/integration_test.rs`\n\n**Conflict Type**: tests\n**Strategy**: Include all test cases from both branches\n**Rationale**: Both branches added new test coverage; all tests should be preserved\n**Risk**: Low - Tests are additive\n**Action Items**:\n\n- [ ] Merge test functions from both branches\n- [ ] Combine test fixtures if needed\n- [ ] Ensure no duplicate test names\n\n#### 5. `src/config.rs`\n\n**Conflict Type**: code logic\n**Strategy**: Need user input - both branches modify validation logic differently\n**Rationale**: Cannot determine correct business logic from code alone\n**Risk**: High - Affects core validation behavior\n**Action Items**:\n\n- [ ] Present both approaches to user\n- [ ] Get user decision on which validation logic to use\n- [ ] Implement chosen approach\n\n### Execution Order\n\n1. **Phase 1: Deleted-Modified Files** - Handle helpers.rs backup and analysis\n2. **Phase 2: Generated Files** - Regenerate Cargo.lock\n3. **Phase 3: Low-Risk Merges** - Merge imports in lib.rs and tests in integration_test.rs\n4. **Phase 4: High-Risk Merges** - Resolve config.rs after user input\n5. **Phase 5: Validation** - Compile, test, verify\n\n### Questions/Decisions Needed\n\n- [ ] **src/config.rs**: Validation logic conflict - which approach should we use?\n - Current branch: Validates using regex patterns\n - Incoming branch: Validates using a validation library\n - Options: (1) Keep current, (2) Keep incoming, (3) Use both with feature flag\n\n### Validation Steps\n\n- [ ] Run conflict validation script\n- [ ] Compile with `cargo check`\n- [ ] Run full test suite with `cargo test`\n- [ ] Manual verification of config.rs changes\n\n\n---\nname: resolve-conflicts\ndescription: Use this skill immediately when the user mentions merge conflicts that need to be resolved. Do not attempt to resolve conflicts directly - invoke this skill first. This skill specializes in providing a structured framework for merging imports, tests, lock files (regeneration), configuration files, and handling deleted-but-modified files with backup and analysis.\n---\n\n# Git Conflict Resolution\n\nResolve Git merge conflicts by intelligently combining changes from both branches while preserving the intent of both changes. This skill follows a plan-first approach: assess conflicts, create a detailed resolution plan, get approval, then execute.\n\n## Core Principles\n\n1. **Plan Before Executing**: Always create a structured resolution plan and get user approval before making changes\n2. **Prefer Both Changes**: Default to keeping both changes unless they directly contradict\n3. **Merge, Don't Choose**: Especially for imports, tests, and configuration\n4. **Regenerate Generated Files**: Never manually merge generated files - always regenerate them from their sources\n5. **Backup Before Resolving**: For deleted-modified files, create backups first\n6. **Validate with Tests**: Always run tests after resolution\n7. **Explain All Resolutions**: For each conflict resolved, provide a one-line explanation of the resolution strategy\n8. **Ask When Unclear**: When the correct resolution isn't clear from the diff, present options to the user and ask for their choice\n\n## Workflow\n\n### Step 1: Assess the Conflict Situation\n\nRun initial checks to understand the conflict scope:\n\n```bash\ngit status\n```\n\nIdentify and categorize all conflicted files:\n\n- Regular file conflicts (both modified)\n- Deleted-modified conflicts (one deleted, one modified)\n- Generated file conflicts (lock files, build artifacts, generated code)\n- Test file conflicts\n- Import/configuration conflicts\n- Binary file conflicts\n\nFor each conflicted file, gather information:\n\n- File type and purpose\n- Nature of the conflict (content, deletion, type change)\n- Scope of changes (lines changed, sections affected)\n- Whether the file is generated or hand-written\n\n### Step 2: Create Merge Resolution Plan\n\nBased on the assessment, create a structured plan before resolving any conflicts. Present the plan in the following markdown format:\n\n```markdown\n## Merge Resolution Plan\n\n### Conflict Summary\n\n- **Total conflicted files**: [N]\n- **Deleted-modified conflicts**: [N]\n- **Generated files**: [N]\n- **Regular conflicts**: [N]\n\n### Resolution Strategy by File\n\n#### 1. [File Path]\n\n**Conflict Type**: [deleted-modified / generated / imports / tests / code logic / config / struct / binary]\n**Strategy**: [Brief description of resolution approach]\n**Rationale**: [Why this strategy is appropriate]\n**Risk**: [Low/Medium/High] - [Brief risk description]\n**Action Items**:\n\n- [ ] [Specific action 1]\n- [ ] [Specific action 2]\n\n#### 2. [File Path]\n\n...\n\n### Execution Order\n\n1. **Phase 1: Deleted-Modified Files** - Handle deletions and backups first\n2. **Phase 2: Generated Files** - Regenerate from source\n3. **Phase 3: Low-Risk Merges** - Imports, tests, documentation\n4. **Phase 4: High-Risk Merges** - Code logic, configuration, structs\n5. **Phase 5: Validation** - Compile, test, verify\n\n### Questions/Decisions Needed\n\n- [ ] **[File/Decision]**: [Question for user] (Options: 1, 2, 3)\n\n### Validation Steps\n\n- [ ] Run conflict validation script\n- [ ] Compile project\n- [ ] Run test suite\n- [ ] Manual verification of high-risk changes\n```\n\n**Present this plan to the user** and wait for their approval before proceeding with resolution. If there are any unclear conflicts where you need user input, list them in the \"Questions/Decisions Needed\" section.\n\n**For a complete example plan**, see `references/sample-plan.md`.\n\n### Step 3: Handle Deleted-Modified Files\n\n**Execute this phase only after the plan is approved.**\n\nIf there are deleted-but-modified files (status: DU, UD, DD, UA, AU):\n\n```bash\n.forge/skills/resolve-conflicts/scripts/handle-deleted-modified.sh\n```\n\nThis script will:\n\n- Create timestamped backups of modified content\n- Analyze potential relocation targets\n- Generate analysis reports for each file\n- Automatically resolve the deletion status\n\nReview the backup directory and analysis files to understand where changes should be applied.\n\n### Step 4: Execute Resolution Plan\n\n**Follow the execution order defined in your plan.** For each conflicted file, apply the appropriate resolution pattern according to your plan. **For every conflict you resolve, provide a one-line explanation** of how you're resolving it.\n\nAs you complete each action item in your plan, mark it as done and report progress to the user.\n\n#### When Resolution is Unclear\n\nWhen you cannot determine the correct resolution from the diff alone (these should already be listed in your plan's \"Questions/Decisions Needed\" section):\n\n1. **Present the conflict** to the user with the conflicting code from both sides\n2. **Provide numbered options** for resolution (Option 1, Option 2, etc.)\n3. **Explain each option** clearly with what it would do\n4. **Ask the user to choose** an option number or provide additional information\n5. **Remember their choice** and apply similar reasoning to subsequent related conflicts\n\n**Example interaction:**\n\n```\nI found a conflict in src/main.rs where both branches modify the `calculate_price` function:\n\n<<<<<<< HEAD (Current Branch)\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price * (1.0 + item.tax_rate)\n}\n=======\nfn calculate_price(item: &Item) -> f64 {\n item.base_price + item.tax_amount\n}\n>>>>>>> feature-branch (Incoming Branch)\n\nI'm not sure which calculation is correct. Please select an option:\n\n**Option 1**: Keep current branch (multiplies base_price by tax_rate)\n**Option 2**: Keep incoming branch (adds tax_amount to base_price)\n**Option 3**: Keep both approaches with a new parameter\n**Option 4**: Provide more context to help me decide\n\nPlease respond with \"Option 1\", \"Option 2\", \"Option 3\", or \"Option 4\", or provide additional information.\n```\n\nOnce the user responds, apply their decision and similar logic to related conflicts.\n\n#### Resolution Patterns\n\nFor each conflicted file, apply the appropriate resolution pattern:\n\n#### Imports/Dependencies\n\n**Goal**: Merge all unique imports from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging imports by combining unique imports from both branches, removing duplicates, and grouping by module.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Import Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Extract all imports from both sides\n2. Remove duplicates\n3. Group by module/package\n4. Follow language-specific style (alphabetize, group std/external/internal)\n\n#### Tests\n\n**Goal**: Include all test cases and test data from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging tests by including all test cases from both branches, combining fixtures, and renaming if necessary to avoid conflicts.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Test Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Keep all test functions unless they test the exact same thing\n2. Merge test fixtures and setup functions\n3. Combine assertions from both sides\n4. If test names conflict but test different behaviors, rename to clarify\n\n#### Generated Files\n\n**Goal**: Regenerate any generated files to include changes from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Resolving generated file by regenerating it from source files to incorporate changes from both branches.\"\n\n**Recognition**: A file is generated if it:\n\n- Is produced by a build tool, compiler, or code generator\n- Has a source file or configuration that defines it\n- Contains headers/comments indicating it's auto-generated\n- Is listed in `.gitattributes` as generated\n- Common examples: lock files, protobuf outputs, GraphQL schema files, compiled assets, auto-generated docs\n\n**Approach:**\n\n1. **Identify the generation source**: Determine what command or tool generates the file\n2. **Choose either version** temporarily (doesn't matter which):\n\n ```bash\n git checkout --ours # or --theirs\n ```\n\n3. **Regenerate from source**: Run the appropriate generation command:\n\n ```bash\n # Package manager lock files\n cargo update # for Cargo.lock\n npm install # for package-lock.json\n yarn install # for yarn.lock\n bundle install # for Gemfile.lock\n poetry lock --no-update # for poetry.lock\n\n # Code generation\n protoc ... # for protobuf files\n graphql-codegen # for GraphQL generated code\n make generate # for Makefile-based generation\n npm run generate # for npm script-based generation\n\n # Build artifacts\n npm run build # for compiled/bundled assets\n cargo build # for Rust build artifacts\n ```\n\n4. **Stage the regenerated file**:\n ```bash\n git add \n ```\n\n**When unsure if a file is generated**: Check for auto-generation markers in the file header, or ask the user if you should regenerate or manually merge the file.\n\n#### Configuration Files\n\n**Goal**: Merge configuration values from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging configuration by including all keys from both branches and choosing appropriate values for conflicts.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Configuration File Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Include all keys from both sides\n2. For conflicting values, choose based on:\n - Newer/more recent value\n - Safer/more conservative value\n - Production requirements\n3. Document choice in commit message\n\n**When unclear**: Ask the user which configuration value to prefer (current vs incoming)\n\n#### Code Logic\n\n**Goal**: Understand intent of both changes and combine if possible.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Resolving code logic by analyzing intent: merging if changes are orthogonal, or choosing one approach if they conflict.\"\n\nRead `references/patterns.md` section \"Code Logic Conflicts\" for detailed examples.\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Analyze what each branch is trying to achieve\n2. If changes are orthogonal (different concerns), merge both\n3. If changes conflict (same concern, different approach):\n - Review commit messages/PRs for context\n - Choose the approach that matches requirements\n - Test both approaches if unclear\n - Document the decision\n\n**When unclear**: Present both approaches as options to the user with context about what each does\n\n#### Struct/Type Definitions\n\n**Goal**: Include all fields from both branches.\n\n**One-line explanation**: \"Merging struct by including all fields from both branches and choosing appropriate types for any conflicting field definitions.\"\n\n**Quick approach:**\n\n1. Merge all fields\n2. If field types conflict, analyze which is more appropriate\n3. Fix all compilation errors from updated struct\n4. Update tests to use new fields\n\n**When unclear**: Ask the user which type definition is correct if field types conflict\n\n### Step 5: Validate Resolution\n\nAfter completing all resolution phases in your plan, validate that all conflicts are resolved:\n\n```bash\n.forge/skills/resolve-conflicts/scripts/validate-conflicts.sh\n```\n\nThis script checks for:\n\n- Remaining conflict markers (<<<<<<<, =======, >>>>>>>)\n- Unmerged paths in git status\n- Deleted-modified conflicts\n- Merge state files\n\n### Step 6: Compile and Test\n\nBuild and test to ensure the resolution is correct (as defined in your plan's validation steps):\n\n```bash\n# For Rust projects\ncargo test\n\n# For other projects, use appropriate test command\n# npm test\n# pytest\n# etc.\n```\n\nIf tests fail:\n\n1. Review the failure - is it from merged code or conflict resolution?\n2. Check if both branches' tests pass individually\n3. Fix integration issues between the merged changes\n4. Re-run tests until all pass\n\n### Step 7: Finalize\n\nOnce all conflicts are resolved and tests pass, review your completed plan and commit:\n\n```bash\n# Review the changes\ngit diff --cached\n\n# Commit with descriptive message that references the plan\ngit commit -m \"Resolve merge conflicts: [describe key decisions]\n\nExecuted merge resolution plan:\n- [Phase 1 summary]\n- [Phase 2 summary]\n- [Phase 3+ summaries]\n\nKey decisions:\n- Merged imports from both branches\n- Combined test cases\n- Regenerated lock files\n- [other significant decisions from plan]\n\nCo-Authored-By: ForgeCode \"\n```\n\n## Decision Tracking\n\nWhen you ask the user to choose between options, track their decision and apply similar reasoning to subsequent conflicts:\n\n**Example scenario:**\n\n1. First conflict: User chooses Option 1 (prefer current branch's validation logic)\n2. Second similar conflict: Apply the same reasoning (prefer current branch's validation approach)\n3. Mention: \"Resolving by keeping current branch's approach (consistent with your earlier choice)\"\n\n**Key principles:**\n\n- Remember user preferences within the same conflict resolution session\n- Apply consistent patterns when conflicts are similar\n- Mention the consistency: \"Following the same pattern as before...\"\n- Ask again if a new conflict is sufficiently different from previous ones\n\n## Common Patterns Reference\n\nFor detailed resolution patterns, read:\n\n- `references/patterns.md` - Comprehensive examples for all conflict types\n\n**Quick pattern lookup:**\n\n- **Imports**: Combine all unique imports, group by module\n- **Tests**: Keep all tests unless identical, merge fixtures\n- **Generated files**: Choose either version, regenerate from source\n- **Config**: Merge all keys, choose newer/safer values for conflicts\n- **Code**: Analyze intent, merge if orthogonal, choose one if conflicting\n- **Structs**: Include all fields from both branches\n- **Docs**: Combine all documentation sections\n\n## Special Scenarios\n\n### Binary Files in Conflict\n\nBinary files cannot be merged. Choose one version:\n\n```bash\ngit checkout --ours path/to/binary # keep our version\n# or\ngit checkout --theirs path/to/binary # keep their version\n```\n\n### Mass Rename/Refactoring Conflicts\n\nIf one branch renamed/refactored many files while another modified them:\n\n1. Accept the rename/refactoring (structural change)\n2. Apply the modifications to the new structure\n3. Use backups from `handle-deleted-modified.sh` to guide the application\n\n### Submodule Conflicts\n\n```bash\n# Check submodule status\ngit submodule status\n\n# Update to the correct commit\ncd path/to/submodule\ngit checkout \ncd ../..\ngit add path/to/submodule\n```\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### \"Both Added\" Conflicts (AA)\n\nBoth branches added a new file with the same name but different content:\n\n1. Review both versions\n2. If they serve the same purpose, merge their content\n3. If they serve different purposes, rename one\n\n### Whitespace-Only Conflicts\n\nIf conflicts are only whitespace differences:\n\n```bash\ngit merge -Xignore-space-change \n```\n\n### Persistent Conflict Markers\n\nIf validation shows conflict markers but you think you resolved them:\n\n1. Search for the exact marker strings: `git grep -n \"<<<<<<< HEAD\"`\n2. Some markers might be in strings or comments - resolve those too\n3. Check for hidden characters or encoding issues\n\n### Tests Fail After Resolution\n\n1. Test each branch individually to confirm they pass\n2. The failure is likely from interaction between the merged changes\n3. Debug the interaction issue, not the individual changes\n4. Update code to make both changes work together\n\n## Quick Reference Card\n\n| Conflict Type | Strategy | One-line Explanation Template |\n| ---------------- | --------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| Imports | Merge all, deduplicate, group by module | \"Merging imports by combining unique imports from both branches and grouping by module\" |\n| Tests | Keep all, merge fixtures | \"Including all test cases from both branches and combining test fixtures\" |\n| Generated files | Regenerate from source | \"Regenerating [file] from source to include changes from both branches\" |\n| Config | Merge keys, choose newer values | \"Merging all config keys and choosing [current/incoming] value for [key]\" |\n| Code logic | Analyze intent, merge if orthogonal | \"Merging both changes as they address different concerns\" OR \"Choosing [current/incoming] approach for [reason]\" |\n| Structs | Include all fields | \"Including all fields from both branches in struct definition\" |\n| Docs | Combine all sections | \"Combining documentation from both branches\" |\n| Deleted-modified | Backup, analyze, apply to new location | \"Applying modifications to new location after file was moved/renamed\" |\n| Binary files | Choose one version | \"Keeping [current/incoming] version of binary file\" |\n\n**Remember:**\n\n- Always provide a one-line explanation for each conflict resolution\n- When unclear, present numbered options to the user\n- Track user decisions and apply consistently to similar conflicts\n- The goal is to preserve the intent and functionality of both branches while creating a cohesive merged result\n\n\n---\nname: resolve-fixme\ndescription: Find all FIXME comments across the codebase and fully implement the work they describe. Use when the user asks to fix, resolve, or address FIXME comments, or when running the \"fixme\" command. Runs a discovery script to find every FIXME, expands multiline comment blocks, groups related FIXMEs across files into a single implementation task, completes the full underlying code changes, removes the FIXME comments only after the work is done, and verifies that no FIXMEs remain.\n---\n\n# Resolve FIXME Comments\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 1. Run the discovery script\n\nExecute the script from the repository root to collect all FIXMEs with context:\n\n```\nbash .forge/skills/resolve-fixme/scripts/find-fixme.sh [PATH]\n```\n\n- `PATH` is optional; omit it to search the entire working directory.\n- The script prints each FIXME with **2 lines of context before** and **5 lines after**, along with the exact file path and line number.\n- Skips `.git/`, `target/`, `node_modules/`, and `vendor/`.\n- Requires either `rg` (ripgrep) or `grep` + `python3`.\n\n### 2. Expand each FIXME into its full instruction\n\nDo not rely on the discovery output alone.\n\nFor every hit:\n\n1. Open the file and read around the reported line.\n2. Expand the FIXME to include the **entire comment block**.\n3. Treat all consecutive related comment lines as part of the same instruction.\n\nImportant:\n\n- A FIXME may be **multiline**. The line containing `FIXME` is often only the beginning.\n- The real instruction may continue on following comment lines and may contain the actual implementation details.\n- Do not interpret or edit a FIXME until you have read the full block.\n\nFor each expanded FIXME, capture:\n\n- file path\n- start line and end line of the full comment block\n- a short summary of what that FIXME is asking for\n\n### 3. Consolidate related FIXMEs across files\n\nBefore editing code, review **all** expanded FIXMEs together.\n\nMany FIXMEs describe different facets of the same underlying task across multiple files. For example:\n\n- one file may describe a domain type that needs to be introduced\n- another may describe a parameter that should disappear once that type exists\n- another may describe a service, repo, or UI update needed to complete the same refactor\n\nGroup such FIXMEs into a single implementation task.\n\nWhen grouping, look for:\n\n- shared vocabulary\n- references to the same type, service, repo, parameter, or feature\n- comments that clearly describe prerequisite and follow-up changes in different files\n- comments that only make sense when read together\n\nFor each group, produce one consolidated understanding of the task:\n\n- all files and line ranges involved\n- the complete implementation required across the group\n- the order in which the changes should be made\n\nDo not resolve grouped FIXMEs one file at a time in isolation. Resolve the whole task consistently.\n\n### 4. Implement every FIXME completely\n\nEvery FIXME must be resolved. There is no skip path.\n\nWork through each grouped task until the underlying implementation is complete:\n\n1. Read any additional files needed to understand the design.\n2. Create or modify the required code, types, services, repos, tests, configs, or templates.\n3. Propagate the change through every affected file in the group.\n4. Remove each FIXME comment **only after** the work it describes has actually been implemented.\n\n> **Critical rule:** Never delete or rewrite a FIXME comment unless the underlying implementation is finished. The comment is a record of required work. Removing it before completing that work is a failure.\n\nIf the FIXME implies a larger refactor, do the refactor. If it requires creating new supporting code, create it. Do not stop at the first local change if the comment clearly implies additional follow-through elsewhere.\n\n### 5. Verify\n\nAfter resolving all FIXMEs:\n\n1. Run the project's standard verification step:\n\n```sh\ncargo insta test --accept\n```\n\n2. Re-run the discovery script:\n\n```sh\nbash .forge/skills/resolve-fixme/scripts/find-fixme.sh [PATH]\n```\n\n3. Confirm that no FIXME comments remain in the targeted scope.\n\n## Notes\n\n- Prefer targeted fixes, but do not under-scope the work when multiple FIXMEs describe one larger task.\n- Read broadly before editing when the intent is ambiguous.\n- Consistency matters more than locality: grouped FIXMEs should lead to one coherent implementation.\n- The job is not to clean up comments. The job is to complete the implementation those comments are pointing at.\n\n\n---\nname: test-reasoning\ndescription: Validate that reasoning parameters are correctly serialized and sent to provider APIs. Use when the user asks to test reasoning serialization, run reasoning tests, verify reasoning config fields, or check that ReasoningConfig maps correctly to provider-specific JSON (OpenRouter, Anthropic, GitHub Copilot, Codex).\n---\n\n# Test Reasoning Serialization\n\nValidates that `ReasoningConfig` fields are correctly serialized into provider-specific JSON\nfor OpenRouter, Anthropic, GitHub Copilot, and Codex.\n\n## Quick Start\n\nRun all tests with the bundled script:\n\n```bash\n./scripts/test-reasoning.sh\n```\n\nThe script builds forge in debug mode, runs each provider/model combination, captures the\noutgoing HTTP request body via `FORGE_DEBUG_REQUESTS`, and asserts the correct JSON fields.\n\n## Running a Single Test Manually\n\n```bash\nFORGE_DEBUG_REQUESTS=\"forge.request.json\" \\\nFORGE_SESSION__PROVIDER_ID= \\\nFORGE_SESSION__MODEL_ID= \\\nFORGE_REASONING__EFFORT= \\\ntarget/debug/forge -p \"Hello!\"\n```\n\nThen inspect `.forge/forge.request.json` for the expected fields.\n\n## Test Coverage\n\n| Provider | Model | Config fields | Expected JSON field |\n| ---------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |\n| `open_router` | `openai/o4-mini` | `effort: none\\|minimal\\|low\\|medium\\|high\\|xhigh` | `reasoning.effort` |\n| `open_router` | `openai/o4-mini` | `max_tokens: 4000` | `reasoning.max_tokens` |\n| `open_router` | `openai/o4-mini` | `effort: high` + `exclude: true` | `reasoning.effort` + `.exclude` |\n| `open_router` | `openai/o4-mini` | `enabled: true` | `reasoning.enabled` |\n| `open_router` | `anthropic/claude-opus-4-5` | `max_tokens: 4000` | `reasoning.max_tokens` |\n| `open_router` | `moonshotai/kimi-k2` | `max_tokens: 4000` | `reasoning.max_tokens` |\n| `open_router` | `moonshotai/kimi-k2` | `effort: high` | `reasoning.effort` |\n| `open_router` | `minimax/minimax-m2` | `max_tokens: 4000` | `reasoning.max_tokens` |\n| `open_router` | `minimax/minimax-m2` | `effort: high` | `reasoning.effort` |\n| `anthropic` | `claude-opus-4-6` | `effort: low\\|medium\\|high\\|max` | `output_config.effort` |\n| `anthropic` | `claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219` | `enabled: true` + `max_tokens: 8000` | `thinking.type` + `budget_tokens` |\n| `github_copilot` | `o4-mini` | `effort: none\\|minimal\\|low\\|medium\\|high\\|xhigh` | `reasoning_effort` (top-level) |\n| `codex` | `gpt-5.1-codex` | `effort: none\\|minimal\\|low\\|medium\\|high\\|xhigh` | `reasoning.effort` + `.summary` |\n| `codex` | `gpt-5.1-codex` | `effort: medium` + `exclude: true` | `reasoning.summary = \"concise\"` |\n| all providers | one model each | `effort: invalid` | non-zero exit, no request written |\n\nTests for unconfigured providers are skipped automatically.

Fetches the release from GitHub, retrieves every linked PR's title and description, then synthesizes all changes into a polished, user-facing release note with an enthusiastic tone. Use when the user asks to write, generate, or create release notes for a version (e.g. \"write release notes for v1.32.0\", \"generate release notes for the latest release\", \"create changelog for v2.0\").\n---\n\n# Write Release Notes\n\nGenerate clear, informative, and enthusiastic release notes by pulling live data from GitHub and synthesizing every PR into a cohesive narrative.\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 1. Fetch Release Data\n\nRun the bundled script to pull the release metadata and all linked PR details in one shot:\n\n```bash\nbash .forge/skills/write-release-notes/scripts/fetch-release-data.sh [owner/repo]\n```\n\n- ``: The release tag (e.g. `v1.32.0`)\n- `[owner/repo]`: Optional. Defaults to the current repo detected via `gh repo view`.\n\nThe script outputs two sections:\n- `### RELEASE METADATA ###` — tag name, publish date, release name, raw body\n- `### PR DETAILS ###` — one JSON object per PR with: `number`, `title`, `body`, `labels`, `author`, `mergedAt`, `url`\n\n### 2. Categorize Changes\n\nGroup PRs by their conventional commit prefix or label:\n\n| Category | Prefixes / Labels |\n|---|---|\n| Features | `feat`, `type: feature` |\n| Bug Fixes | `fix`, `type: fix` |\n| Performance | `perf` |\n| Refactors | `refactor` |\n| Maintenance | `chore`, `docs`, `ci`, `build`, `deps` |\n\nDependency bumps (e.g. Dependabot PRs) go into Maintenance. Skip PRs with `error: \"not found\"`.\n\n### 3. Write the Release Notes\n\nProduce a Markdown document with the following structure. Keep the tone **informative and enthusiastic** — explain what changed and why it matters, without resorting to marketing fluff.\n\n```markdown\n# [Product Name] [Version] — [Descriptive Tagline]\n\n> One-sentence summary of what this release focuses on.\n\n## What's New\n\n[2-4 sentence narrative covering the biggest features and fixes. \nDescribe what changed and what users can now do. Use active voice. Be factual but upbeat.]\n\n## Highlights\n\n### [Feature/Fix Category]\n**[PR Title rephrased as a clear description of the change]**\n[1-2 sentences expanding on the PR description. Explain what changed and what users can now do differently. \nIf the PR body has useful context, distill it. If empty, infer from the title.]\n\n[Repeat for each significant PR — skip pure chores/dep bumps unless noteworthy]\n\n## Bug Fixes & Reliability\n\n[Bullet list of fixes, each with a brief impact statement]\n\n## Under the Hood\n\n[Brief paragraph or bullet list covering refactors, maintenance, and dep updates — \nkeep it light, acknowledge the work without boring the reader]\n\n## Contributors\n\nA huge thank you to everyone who made this release happen: [list @handles — exclude bots like @dependabot]\n\n---\n**Full changelog**: [GitHub Release link]\n```\n\n### 4. Tone & Style Guidelines\n\n- **Lead with what changed**: \"You can now...\" or \"Forge now...\" beats \"We added...\"\n- **Be specific**: Name the feature and describe what it does, not just the category\n- **Be informative, not marketty**: Avoid vague adjectives like \"seamless\", \"smarter\", \"blazing\", \"powerful\", \"rock-solid\". Instead, state the concrete fact (e.g. \"editor no longer spawns a git process on every keystroke\" beats \"blazing-fast editor\")\n- **Enthusiasm through substance**: Let the actual improvement speak for itself. Use active, direct language.\n- **Short paragraphs**: Max 3 sentences per block\n- **Skip internal jargon**: Translate crate names and internal concepts into plain language\n- **Celebrate contributors**: Name them by handle\n- **Tagline formula**: `[Version] — [Factual Theme Description]` (e.g. \"v1.32.0 — Terminal Context, File Drop Support, Windows Performance\")\n- **No implementation details**: Do not mention internal module names, struct names, function names, crate names, or how something was implemented. Focus purely on what the user experiences or gains.\n- **No PR/issue references**: Do not include PR numbers, issue numbers, or links to GitHub PRs/issues in the release notes. Focus on the changes themselves, not their tracking identifiers.\n\n### 5. Contributors Filter\n\nOnly include **external contributors** in the Contributors section — exclude the core team:\n- `@tusharmath`\n- `@amitksingh1490`\n- `@laststylebender14`\n- Bots (e.g. `@dependabot`)\n\nIf no external contributors exist, omit the Contributors section entirely.\n\n### 6. Validate Length\n\nAfter writing the release notes, run the bundled validation script to confirm the output is under 2000 characters:\n\n```bash\necho \"\" | bash .forge/skills/write-release-notes/scripts/validate-release-notes.sh\n```\n\nIf it prints `FAIL`, trim the draft and re-run until it prints `PASS`:\n- Remove the Under the Hood section first\n- Consolidate Bug Fixes into a shorter bullet list\n- Shorten individual PR descriptions to one tight sentence\n- Remove the least impactful Highlights entries\n\n### 7. Output\n\nPrint the final release notes directly in the chat. Do not write to a file unless the user explicitly asks.\n\n## Notes\n\n- The script handles ANSI color codes injected by `gh` CLI automatically.\n- PRs not found (closed without merge, private, etc.) are silently skipped.\n- If the release has no linked PRs in its body, fall back to listing commits between tags:\n ```bash\n gh api repos///compare/... --jq '.commits[].commit.message'\n ```\n\n\n# Semantic Search Tool Selection Evaluation\n\nThis evaluation validates that the Forge agent correctly identifies and uses the `sem_search` (Codebase Search) tool when presented with conceptual, functionality-based code location queries.\n\n## What We're Testing\n\nThe agent's ability to recognize when a user query requires semantic understanding rather than exact pattern matching. Specifically, we test whether the agent:\n\n1. **Correctly invokes `sem_search`** for conceptual queries about code functionality\n2. **Understands the distinction** between semantic search (conceptual) vs regex search (exact patterns)\n3. **Recognizes appropriate use cases** such as:\n - Finding code by its purpose/behavior (e.g., \"retry logic with exponential backoff\")\n - Locating implementation patterns (e.g., \"authentication token validation\")\n - Discovering architectural components (e.g., \"message transformation between AI providers\")\n - Identifying system behaviors (e.g., \"rate limiting for API requests\")\n\n## Test Scenarios\n\nThe evaluation uses real-world queries that describe:\n- **Message transformation** between different AI provider formats\n- **Retry mechanisms** with exponential backoff patterns \n- **Authentication flows** including token validation and refresh\n- **Error handling** for network failures\n- **Caching strategies** for API responses\n- **Streaming response** handling from LLM APIs\n- **File validation** including upload and size checks\n- **Rate limiting** implementations for API requests\n- **Tool registration** and availability management\n- **Context management** including conversation history truncation\n\n## Expected Behavior\n\nFor all test queries, the agent should invoke the `sem_search` tool (displayed as \"Codebase Search\" in logs) rather than falling back to regex-based `search` tool, demonstrating understanding that these are conceptual queries requiring semantic code comprehension.\n\n\n# Semantic Search Quality Evaluation\n\nThis evaluation measures the quality of semantic search queries generated by Forge using an LLM-as-judge approach.\n\n## Quick Start\n\n### Test Your Queries Manually\n\nBefore running the full eval, test your queries to get immediate feedback:\n\n```bash\n# Interactive mode\nnpx tsx benchmarks/evals/semantic_search_quality/test_queries.ts\n\n# Non-interactive mode\nnpx tsx benchmarks/evals/semantic_search_quality/test_queries.ts \\\n \"retry mechanism with exponential backoff\" \\\n \"I need to find the implementation code for retry logic\"\n```\n\nThe query tester provides:\n- Detailed scores for embedding and reranking queries\n- Specific strengths and weaknesses\n- Actionable suggestions for improvement\n- Differentiation analysis\n\n### Run the Full Evaluation\n\n```bash\n# Run the entire semantic search quality eval\nnpm run eval semantic_search_quality\n\n# Run with specific parallelism\nnpm run eval semantic_search_quality -- --parallelism 10\n\n# Run with specific model\nnpm run eval semantic_search_quality -- --model \"anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5\"\n```\n\n## Purpose\n\nThe semantic search feature uses two types of queries:\n1. **Embedding Query (`query`)**: Converted to vector embeddings for semantic similarity search\n2. **Reranking Query (`use_case`)**: Used by the reranker to filter results based on intent\n\nThis eval verifies that:\n- Queries are well-formed and contain sufficient context\n- The two queries are different and serve distinct purposes\n- Results match the user's intent (implementation vs docs vs tests, etc.)\n- Correct file types are returned based on intent\n- Unwanted file types are avoided\n\n## How It Works\n\n### 1. Test Execution\nThe eval runs various semantic search tasks covering different intents:\n- **Implementation**: Find actual code, not documentation\n- **Flow Understanding**: Understand how systems work\n- **Architecture**: Understand structural design\n- **Tests**: Find test examples and fixtures\n- **Documentation**: Find docs and guides\n- **Debugging**: Investigate issues\n- **Modification**: Find code to modify\n- **Configuration**: Find config files and schemas\n\n### 2. LLM Judge Evaluation\nAfter each task, an LLM judge (Gemini 3 Pro) evaluates:\n\n#### Query Quality (40 points)\n- **Embedding Query (15pts)**: Domain terms, technical context, behavior description\n- **Reranking Query (15pts)**: Intent clarity, context about WHY, specificity\n- **Query Differentiation (10pts)**: Queries serve different purposes\n\n#### Result Relevance (60 points)\n- **Intent Matching (25pts)**: Results match the stated intent\n- **File Type Accuracy (20pts)**: Correct file types returned\n- **Avoidance Compliance (15pts)**: Unwanted file types avoided\n\n#### Pass Criteria\n- Total score >= 70/100\n- No critical issues (e.g., identical queries, severe intent mismatch)\n\n### 3. Structured Output\nThe judge uses structured output (Zod schema) to provide:\n- Detailed scores for each dimension\n- Specific feedback on what's good/bad\n- List of critical issues\n- Overall pass/fail determination\n\n## Environment Variables\n\nRequired:\n- `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`: Path to Google Cloud service account JSON credentials file\n\nOr authenticate using `gcloud auth application-default login`.\n\nThe LLM judge uses Vertex AI to run Gemini 3 Pro. It supports Google's Application Default Credentials through the `google-auth-library`. The most common authentication method is to set the path to a JSON credentials file in the `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` environment variable.\n\n## Test Cases\n\nThe eval includes diverse test cases:\n\n### Implementation Queries\n```yaml\n- task: \"Find the retry mechanism with exponential backoff implementation\"\n intent: \"implementation\"\n expected_file_types: \"rust,typescript,javascript\"\n should_avoid: \"markdown,txt,documentation\"\n```\n\n### Flow Understanding\n```yaml\n- task: \"How does the authentication flow work from request to response?\"\n intent: \"flow_understanding\"\n expected_file_types: \"rust,typescript\"\n should_avoid: \"test,markdown\"\n```\n\n### Documentation\n```yaml\n- task: \"Find documentation on how to configure semantic search\"\n intent: \"documentation\"\n expected_file_types: \"markdown,txt\"\n should_avoid: \"rust,typescript,javascript\"\n```\n\n## Interpreting Results\n\n### High Scores (>80)\nQueries are excellent - domain-specific, well-differentiated, and would return highly relevant results.\n\n### Medium Scores (60-80)\nQueries are functional but have room for improvement. Check feedback for specific suggestions.\n\n### Low Scores (<60)\nQueries have significant issues:\n- Too generic or vague\n- Embedding and reranking queries too similar\n- Intent mismatch\n- Would return wrong file types\n\n## Common Issues\n\n1. **Identical Queries**: Embedding and reranking queries are the same or too similar\n - **Fix**: Make reranking query focus on intent, not just rephrasing\n\n2. **Generic Queries**: Lack domain-specific context\n - **Fix**: Add technical terms, describe behavior, include framework names\n\n3. **Intent Mismatch**: Queries would return docs when implementation is needed\n - **Fix**: Be explicit in reranking query about what type of code is needed\n\n4. **Poor Differentiation**: Both queries try to do the same thing\n - **Fix**: Embedding = WHAT code does, Reranking = WHY you need it\n\n## Architecture\n\n```\ntask.yml\n├── Runs Forge with semantic search task\n├── Captures debug output (context.json)\n└── Validates with llm_judge.ts\n ├── Extracts sem_search calls\n ├── Calls Gemini 3 Pro with structured output\n └── Returns evaluation with scores\n```\n\n## Extending the Eval\n\nTo add new test cases:\n\n1. Add to `task.yml` under `sources`:\n```yaml\n- task: \"Your task description\"\n intent: \"implementation|flow_understanding|tests|documentation|debugging|modification|architecture|configuration\"\n expected_file_types: \"comma,separated,extensions\"\n should_avoid: \"comma,separated,extensions\"\n```\n\n2. Choose appropriate intent:\n - `implementation`: Actual code implementation\n - `flow_understanding`: Understanding how things work\n - `architecture`: Structural/design understanding\n - `tests`: Test files and fixtures\n - `documentation`: Docs, README, guides\n - `debugging`: Finding bugs/issues\n - `modification`: Code to modify/extend\n - `configuration`: Config files, schemas\n\n## Future Improvements\n\n- [ ] Add actual result verification (not just query quality)\n- [ ] Measure embedding quality directly\n- [ ] Test reranking effectiveness with real results\n- [ ] Add precision/recall metrics\n- [ ] Compare against human-labeled ground truth\n- [ ] Test edge cases (very short queries, multi-lingual code, etc.)\n\n\n---\nname: create-skill\ndescription: Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends your capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.\n---\n\n# Skill Creator\n\nThis skill provides guidance for creating effective skills.\n\n## About Skills\n\nSkills are modular, self-contained packages that extend your capabilities by providing\nspecialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as \"onboarding guides\" for specific\ndomains or tasks—they transform you from a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent\nequipped with procedural knowledge that no model can fully possess.\n\n### What Skills Provide\n\n1. Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains\n2. Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs\n3. Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic\n4. Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex and repetitive tasks\n\n## Core Principles\n\n### Concise is Key\n\nThe context window is a public good. Skills share the context window with everything else you need: system prompt, conversation history, other Skills' metadata, and the actual user request.\n\n**Default assumption: You already have significant capabilities.** Only add context you don't already have. Challenge each piece of information: \"Do you really need this explanation?\" and \"Does this paragraph justify its token cost?\"\n\nPrefer concise examples over verbose explanations.\n\n### Set Appropriate Degrees of Freedom\n\nMatch the level of specificity to the task's fragility and variability:\n\n**High freedom (text-based instructions)**: Use when multiple approaches are valid, decisions depend on context, or heuristics guide the approach.\n\n**Medium freedom (pseudocode or scripts with parameters)**: Use when a preferred pattern exists, some variation is acceptable, or configuration affects behavior.\n\n**Low freedom (specific scripts, few parameters)**: Use when operations are fragile and error-prone, consistency is critical, or a specific sequence must be followed.\n\nThink of yourself as exploring a path: a narrow bridge with cliffs needs specific guardrails (low freedom), while an open field allows many routes (high freedom).\n\n### Anatomy of a Skill\n\nEvery skill consists of a required SKILL.md file and optional bundled resources:\n\n```\nskill-name/\n├── SKILL.md (required)\n│ ├── YAML frontmatter metadata (required)\n│ │ ├── name: (required)\n│ │ └── description: (required)\n│ └── Markdown instructions (required)\n└── Bundled Resources (optional)\n ├── scripts/ - Executable code (Python/Bash/etc.)\n ├── references/ - Documentation intended to be loaded into context as needed\n └── assets/ - Files used in output (templates, icons, fonts, etc.)\n```\n\n#### SKILL.md (required)\n\nEvery SKILL.md consists of:\n\n- **Frontmatter** (YAML): Contains `name` and `description` fields. These are the only fields you read to determine when the skill gets used, thus it is very important to be clear and comprehensive in describing what the skill is, and when it should be used.\n- **Body** (Markdown): Instructions and guidance for using the skill. Only loaded AFTER the skill triggers (if at all).\n\n#### Bundled Resources (optional)\n\n##### Scripts (`scripts/`)\n\nExecutable code for tasks that require deterministic reliability or are repeatedly rewritten.\n\n- **When to include**: When the same code is being rewritten repeatedly or deterministic reliability is needed\n- **Example**: `scripts/rotate_pdf.sh` for PDF rotation tasks\n- **Benefits**: Token efficient, deterministic, may be executed without loading into context\n- **Note**: Scripts may still need to be read by you for patching or environment-specific adjustments\n\n##### References (`references/`)\n\nDocumentation and reference material intended to be loaded as needed into context to inform your process and thinking.\n\n- **When to include**: For documentation that you should reference while working\n- **Examples**: `references/finance.md` for financial schemas, `references/mnda.md` for company NDA template, `references/policies.md` for company policies, `references/api_docs.md` for API specifications\n- **Use cases**: Database schemas, API documentation, domain knowledge, company policies, detailed workflow guides\n- **Benefits**: Keeps SKILL.md lean, loaded only when you determine it's needed\n- **Best practice**: If files are large (>10k words), include grep search patterns in SKILL.md\n- **Avoid duplication**: Information should live in either SKILL.md or references files, not both. Prefer references files for detailed information unless it's truly core to the skill—this keeps SKILL.md lean while making information discoverable without hogging the context window. Keep only essential procedural instructions and workflow guidance in SKILL.md; move detailed reference material, schemas, and examples to references files.\n\n##### Assets (`assets/`)\n\nFiles not intended to be loaded into context, but rather used within the output you produce.\n\n- **When to include**: When the skill needs files that will be used in the final output\n- **Examples**: `assets/logo.png` for brand assets, `assets/slides.pptx` for PowerPoint templates, `assets/frontend-template/` for HTML/React boilerplate, `assets/font.ttf` for typography\n- **Use cases**: Templates, images, icons, boilerplate code, fonts, sample documents that get copied or modified\n- **Benefits**: Separates output resources from documentation, enables you to use files without loading them into context\n\n#### What to Not Include in a Skill\n\nA skill should only contain essential files that directly support its functionality. Do NOT create extraneous documentation or auxiliary files, including:\n\n- README.md\n- INSTALLATION_GUIDE.md\n- QUICK_REFERENCE.md\n- CHANGELOG.md\n- etc.\n\nThe skill should only contain the information needed for an AI agent to do the job at hand. It should not contain auxilary context about the process that went into creating it, setup and testing procedures, user-facing documentation, etc. Creating additional documentation files just adds clutter and confusion.\n\n### Progressive Disclosure Design Principle\n\nSkills use a three-level loading system to manage context efficiently:\n\n1. **Metadata (name + description)** - Always in context (~100 words)\n2. **SKILL.md body** - When skill triggers (<5k words)\n3. **Bundled resources** - As needed by Claude (Unlimited because scripts can be executed without reading into context window)\n\n#### Progressive Disclosure Patterns\n\nKeep SKILL.md body to the essentials and under 500 lines to minimize context bloat. Split content into separate files when approaching this limit. When splitting out content into other files, it is very important to reference them from SKILL.md and describe clearly when to read them, to ensure the reader of the skill knows they exist and when to use them.\n\n**Key principle:** When a skill supports multiple variations, frameworks, or options, keep only the core workflow and selection guidance in SKILL.md. Move variant-specific details (patterns, examples, configuration) into separate reference files.\n\n**Pattern 1: High-level guide with references**\n\n```markdown\n# PDF Processing\n\n## Quick start\n\nExtract text with pdfplumber:\n[code example]\n\n## Advanced features\n\n- **Form filling**: See [FORMS.md](FORMS.md) for complete guide\n- **API reference**: See [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md) for all methods\n- **Examples**: See [EXAMPLES.md](EXAMPLES.md) for common patterns\n```\n\nYou load FORMS.md, REFERENCE.md, or EXAMPLES.md only when needed.\n\n**Pattern 2: Domain-specific organization**\n\nFor Skills with multiple domains, organize content by domain to avoid loading irrelevant context:\n\n```\nbigquery-skill/\n├── SKILL.md (overview and navigation)\n└── reference/\n ├── finance.md (revenue, billing metrics)\n ├── sales.md (opportunities, pipeline)\n ├── product.md (API usage, features)\n └── marketing.md (campaigns, attribution)\n```\n\nWhen a user asks about sales metrics, you only read sales.md.\n\nSimilarly, for skills supporting multiple frameworks or variants, organize by variant:\n\n```\ncloud-deploy/\n├── SKILL.md (workflow + provider selection)\n└── references/\n ├── aws.md (AWS deployment patterns)\n ├── gcp.md (GCP deployment patterns)\n └── azure.md (Azure deployment patterns)\n```\n\nWhen the user chooses AWS, you only read aws.md.\n\n**Pattern 3: Conditional details**\n\nShow basic content, link to advanced content:\n\n```markdown\n# DOCX Processing\n\n## Creating documents\n\nUse docx-js for new documents. See [DOCX-JS.md](DOCX-JS.md).\n\n## Editing documents\n\nFor simple edits, modify the XML directly.\n\n**For tracked changes**: See [REDLINING.md](REDLINING.md)\n**For OOXML details**: See [OOXML.md](OOXML.md)\n```\n\nYou read REDLINING.md or OOXML.md only when the user needs those features.\n\n**Important guidelines:**\n\n- **Avoid deeply nested references** - Keep references one level deep from SKILL.md. All reference files should link directly from SKILL.md.\n- **Structure longer reference files** - For files longer than 100 lines, include a table of contents at the top so you can see the full scope when previewing.\n\n## Skill Creation Process\n\nSkill creation involves these steps:\n\n1. Understand the skill with concrete examples\n2. Plan reusable skill contents (scripts, references, assets)\n3. Initialize the skill\n4. Edit the skill (implement resources and write SKILL.md)\n5. Iterate based on real usage\n\nFollow these steps in order, skipping only if there is a clear reason why they are not applicable.\n\n### Step 1: Understanding the Skill with Concrete Examples\n\nSkip this step only when the skill's usage patterns are already clearly understood. It remains valuable even when working with an existing skill.\n\nTo create an effective skill, clearly understand concrete examples of how the skill will be used. This understanding can come from either direct user examples or generated examples that are validated with user feedback.\n\nFor example, when building an edit-image skill, relevant questions include:\n\n- \"What functionality should the edit-image skill support? Editing, rotating, anything else?\"\n- \"Can you give some examples of how this skill would be used?\"\n- \"I can imagine users asking for things like 'Remove the red-eye from this image' or 'Rotate this image'. Are there other ways you imagine this skill being used?\"\n- \"What would a user say that should trigger this skill?\"\n\nTo avoid overwhelming users, avoid asking too many questions in a single message. Start with the most important questions and follow up as needed for better effectiveness.\n\nConclude this step when there is a clear sense of the functionality the skill should support.\n\n### Step 2: Planning the Reusable Skill Contents\n\nTo turn concrete examples into an effective skill, analyze each example by:\n\n1. Considering how to execute on the example from scratch\n2. Identifying what scripts, references, and assets would be helpful when executing these workflows repeatedly\n\nExample: When building an `edit-pdf` skill to handle queries like \"Help me rotate this PDF,\" the analysis shows:\n\n1. Rotating a PDF requires re-writing the same code each time\n2. A `scripts/rotate_pdf.sh` script would be helpful to store in the skill\n\nExample: When designing a `build-frontend-webapp` skill for queries like \"Build me a todo app\" or \"Build me a dashboard to track my steps,\" the analysis shows:\n\n1. Writing a frontend webapp requires the same boilerplate HTML/React each time\n2. An `assets/hello-world/` template containing the boilerplate HTML/React project files would be helpful to store in the skill\n\nExample: When building a `query-bigquery` skill to handle queries like \"How many users have logged in today?\" the analysis shows:\n\n1. Querying BigQuery requires re-discovering the table schemas and relationships each time\n2. A `references/schema.md` file documenting the table schemas would be helpful to store in the skill\n\nTo establish the skill's contents, analyze each concrete example to create a list of the reusable resources to include: scripts, references, and assets.\n\n### Step 3: Initializing the Skill\n\nAt this point, it is time to actually create the skill.\n\nSkip this step only if the skill being developed already exists, and iteration or packaging is needed. In this case, continue to the next step.\n\n#### Skill Naming Convention\n\n**Always use verb-based names** for skills to clearly communicate what action the skill performs:\n\n- ✅ Good: `execute-plan`, `create-report`, `analyze-logs`, `deploy-app`\n- ❌ Bad: `plan-executor`, `report-creator`, `log-analyzer`, `app-deployer`\n\nVerb-first naming makes it immediately clear what the skill does and follows the imperative/infinitive form used throughout the skill instructions.\n\n#### Skill Location\n\n**Default: Create project-local skills unless the user explicitly requests a global skill.**\n\nWhen creating a new skill from scratch, create it in the project-local skills directory:\n\n- **Project-local (default)**: `{{local_skills_path}}//` - Skills are project-specific and don't affect other projects. This is the safe default for most skills.\n- **Global (only when explicitly requested)**: `{{global_skills_path}}//` - Skills are available across all projects. Only use this location when the user explicitly asks for a global skill or when the skill is truly reusable across all projects.\n\nThe structure should include:\n\n- `SKILL.md` with YAML frontmatter (name, description) and markdown body\n- `scripts/` directory for executable code (e.g., `process.sh`, `validate.sh`)\n- `references/` directory for documentation loaded as needed\n- `assets/` directory for files used in output\n\nExample initialization (default project-local):\n\n```bash\nmkdir -p {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/{scripts,references,assets}\ncat > {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/SKILL.md << 'EOF'\n---\nname: edit-pdf\ndescription: TODO - Describe what this skill does and when to use it\n---\n\n# Edit PDF\n\nTODO - Add skill instructions here\nEOF\n\ncat > {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh << 'EOF'\n#!/bin/bash\n# Rotate PDF using pdftk\npdftk \"$1\" cat 1-endright output \"$2\"\nEOF\n\nchmod +x {{local_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh\n```\n\nIf the user explicitly requests a global skill, use this instead:\n\n```bash\nmkdir -p {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/{scripts,references,assets}\ncat > {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/SKILL.md << 'EOF'\n---\nname: edit-pdf\ndescription: TODO - Describe what this skill does and when to use it\n---\n\n# Edit PDF\n\nTODO - Add skill instructions here\nEOF\n\ncat > {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh << 'EOF'\n#!/bin/bash\n# Rotate PDF using pdftk\npdftk \"$1\" cat 1-endright output \"$2\"\nEOF\n\nchmod +x {{global_skills_path}}/edit-pdf/scripts/rotate.sh\n```\n\nAfter initialization, customize the generated files as needed.\n\n### Step 4: Edit the Skill\n\nWhen editing the (newly-generated or existing) skill, remember that the skill is being created for another AI agent instance to use. Include information that would be beneficial and non-obvious. Consider what procedural knowledge, domain-specific details, or reusable assets would help another agent instance execute these tasks more effectively.\n\n#### Learn Proven Design Patterns\n\nConsult these helpful guides based on your skill's needs:\n\n- **Multi-step processes**: See references/workflows.md for sequential workflows and conditional logic\n- **Specific output formats or quality standards**: See references/output-patterns.md for template and example patterns\n\nThese files contain established best practices for effective skill design.\n\n#### Start with Reusable Skill Contents\n\nTo begin implementation, start with the reusable resources identified above: `scripts/`, `references/`, and `assets/` files. Note that this step may require user input. For example, when implementing a `brand-guidelines` skill, the user may need to provide brand assets or templates to store in `assets/`, or documentation to store in `references/`.\n\nAdded scripts must be tested by actually running them to ensure there are no bugs and that the output matches what is expected. If there are many similar scripts, only a representative sample needs to be tested to ensure confidence that they all work while balancing time to completion.\n\nAny example files and directories not needed for the skill should be deleted.\n\n#### Update SKILL.md\n\n**Writing Guidelines:** Always use imperative/infinitive form.\n\n##### Frontmatter\n\nWrite the YAML frontmatter with `name` and `description`:\n\n- `name`: The skill name\n- `description`: This is the primary triggering mechanism for your skill, and helps you understand when to use the skill.\n - Include both what the Skill does and specific triggers/contexts for when to use it.\n - Include all \"when to use\" information here - Not in the body. The body is only loaded after triggering, so \"When to Use This Skill\" sections in the body are not helpful.\n - Example description for a `docx` skill: \"Comprehensive document creation, editing, and analysis with support for tracked changes, comments, formatting preservation, and text extraction. Use when you need to work with professional documents (.docx files) for: (1) Creating new documents, (2) Modifying or editing content, (3) Working with tracked changes, (4) Adding comments, or any other document tasks\"\n\nDo not include any other fields in YAML frontmatter.\n\n##### Body\n\nWrite instructions for using the skill and its bundled resources.\n\n#### Loading the New Skill\n\nOnce the skill is complete, **suggest to the user that they start a new session** to load the newly created skill. Skills are loaded at the beginning of each session, so the new skill will not be available in the current session. Starting a new session ensures the skill is properly registered and available for use.\n\n### Step 5: Iterate\n\nAfter testing the skill, users may request improvements. Often this happens right after using the skill, with fresh context of how the skill performed.\n\n**Iteration workflow:**\n\n1. Use the skill on real tasks\n2. Notice struggles or inefficiencies\n3. Identify how SKILL.md or bundled resources should be updated\n4. Implement changes and test again\n\n\n---\nname: execute-plan\ndescription: Execute structured task plans with status tracking. Use when the user provides a plan file path in the format `plans/{current-date}-{task-name}-{version}.md` or explicitly asks you to execute a plan file.\n---\n\n# Execute Plan\n\nExecute structured task plans with automatic status tracking and progress updates.\n\n## Commitment to Completion\n\nWhen a plan is provided, **all tasks in the plan must be completed**. Before starting execution, recite:\n\n> \"I will execute this plan to completion. All the 20 tasks will be addressed and marked as DONE.\"\n\n## Execution Steps\n\n**STEP 1**: Recite the commitment to complete all tasks in the plan.\n\n**STEP 2**: Read the entire plan file to identify pending tasks based on `task_status`.\n\n**STEP 3**: Announce the next pending task and update its status to `IN_PROGRESS` in the plan file.\n\n**STEP 4**: Execute all actions required to complete the task and mark the task status to `DONE` in the plan file.\n\n**STEP 5**: Repeat from Step 3 until all tasks are marked as `DONE`.\n\n**STEP 6**: Re-read the plan file to verify all tasks are completed before announcing completion.\n\n## Task Status Format\n\nUse these status indicators in the plan file:\n\n```\n[ ]: PENDING\n[~]: IN_PROGRESS\n[x]: DONE\n[!]: FAILED\n```\n\n## Example Usage\n\n1. User provides: \"Execute plan at plans/2025-11-23-refactor-auth-v1.md\"\n2. Recite commitment: \"I will execute this plan to completion...\"\n3. Read the plan file\n4. Find first `[ ]` (PENDING) task\n5. Update to `[~]` (IN_PROGRESS)\n6. Execute the task\n7. Update to `[x]` (DONE)\n8. Move to next PENDING task\n9. Repeat until all tasks appear DONE\n10. Re-read plan file to verify completion\n11. Announce completion\n\n\n---\nname: github-pr-description\ndescription: Generate and create pull request descriptions automatically using GitHub CLI.

Verify Prerequisites\n\nCheck that there are changes to create a PR for:\n\n```bash\n# Get current branch\ngit branch --show-current\n\n# Verify branch is not main/master\n# Verify there are commits ahead of main\ngit log origin/main..HEAD --oneline\n```\n\nIf on main/master or no commits ahead, inform the user there's nothing to create a PR for.\n\n### 2. Analyze Changes\n\nGather context about the changes:\n\n```bash\n# Get commit messages\ngit log origin/main..HEAD --pretty=format:\"%s\"\n\n# Get diff summary (files changed)\ngit diff origin/main..HEAD --stat\n\n# Get actual code changes (sample key files if diff is large)\ngit diff origin/main..HEAD\n```\n\n**For large diffs**: Focus on the most meaningful changes. Sample key files rather than reading everything.\n\n### 3. Determine Change Type\n\nClassify the PR into one of these categories:\n\n- **fix**: Bug fixes, error corrections, resolving issues\n- **feature**: New functionality, capabilities, or enhancements\n- **performance**: Speed improvements, optimization, efficiency gains\n- **refactor**: Code restructuring without changing behavior\n- **docs**: Documentation changes\n- **test**: Test additions or improvements\n- **chore**: Maintenance tasks, dependencies, configuration\n\nBase this on:\n- Commit messages (keywords like \"fix\", \"add\", \"optimize\", \"refactor\")\n- Nature of code changes (new files = feature, test fixes = fix, etc.)\n- Scope of changes\n\n### 4. Generate Description\n\nCreate a comprehensive description with this structure:\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\n[One sentence explaining what this PR does and why it matters]\n\n## Context\n[Background information, related issues, previous work, or the problem being solved]\n\n## Changes\n[High-level description of what changed]\n\n### Key Implementation Details\n[Technical details that help reviewers understand the approach, especially for complex changes]\n\n## Use Cases\n[Concrete examples of how this will be used - helps reviewers understand practical value]\n\n## Testing\n[How to test the changes - step-by-step instructions]\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #123, #456\n- Documentation: URL (if applicable)\n- Original implementation: URL (if applicable)\n```\n\n### Description Guidelines\n\n**Essential Elements:**\n- **Summary**: One clear sentence explaining the change and its value\n- **Context**: Why this change was needed, what problem it solves\n- **Changes**: What was actually changed at a high level\n- **Testing**: How reviewers can verify the changes\n\n**Optional but Recommended:**\n- **Implementation Details**: For complex changes, explain the technical approach\n- **Use Cases**: Concrete examples of how the feature will be used\n- **Links**: Related issues, documentation, papers, or original implementations\n- **Known Issues**: Any limitations or known problems\n\n**What to Avoid:**\n- Empty descriptions or just issue links\n- Placeholder text like \"Fixes #(issue)\"\n- File-by-file breakdowns (unless necessary)\n- Low-level implementation details (keep it high-level)\n- Boilerplate statements\n- Personal checklists as the main description\n\n### Description Examples\n\n**Example 1: Feature Addition**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nAdd semantic code search to enable searching codebase by concepts and behavior rather than exact string matching.\n\n## Context\nCurrently, users can only search using exact string matching, which makes it difficult to find code based on functionality or behavior. This has been a recurring request in issues #123 and #456.\n\n## Changes\n- Implemented semantic search using vector embeddings\n- Integrated with existing search interface\n- Added support for multiple concurrent queries with result aggregation\n- Configurable search scope (entire codebase or specific directories)\n\n### Key Implementation Details\nUses OpenAI embeddings for code representation and cosine similarity for matching. Index is built incrementally to support large codebases. Search results are reranked based on code context and usage patterns.\n\n## Use Cases\n- Find authentication flow without knowing exact function names\n- Locate retry logic across the codebase\n- Search for \"database connection\" patterns\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Run the search service\nnpm run search:dev\n\n# Test semantic queries\ncurl -X POST http://localhost:3000/search \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d '{\"query\": \"user authentication\"}'\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #123, #456\n- Documentation: /docs/semantic-search.md\n```\n\n**Example 2: Bug Fix**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nFix database connection timeout that caused service to hang indefinitely when database became unavailable.\n\n## Context\nService would hang indefinitely when database became unavailable, requiring manual restart. This was reported in production incident #789 and affected multiple users.\n\n## Changes\n- Added configurable connection timeout (default: 30 seconds)\n- Implemented exponential backoff retry logic (max 5 retries)\n- Improved error messages with specific failure reasons\n- Added circuit breaker pattern to prevent cascading failures\n\n### Key Implementation Details\nTimeout is applied at the connection pool level. Backoff strategy: 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s. Circuit breaker opens after 5 consecutive failures and resets after 60 seconds.\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Simulate database failure\ndocker-compose stop db\n\n# Verify timeout and retry behavior\nnpm test -- tests/integration/connection-timeout.test.ts\n\n# Verify circuit breaker activation\ncurl http://localhost:3000/health # Should return 503 after circuit opens\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #789, #890\n- Incident report: /incidents/2024-01-15-db-timeout.md\n```\n\n**Example 3: Performance Improvement**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nOptimize image processing pipeline to reduce memory usage by 60% and improve throughput by 2.5x.\n\n## Context\nCurrent image processing implementation loads entire images into memory, causing OOM errors with large files and limiting throughput. This was identified as a performance bottleneck in profiling session #123.\n\n## Changes\n- Implemented streaming image processing using chunked reading\n- Added parallel processing for multiple images\n- Optimized memory allocation with object pooling\n- Added caching for frequently accessed image metadata\n\n### Key Implementation Details\nUses Node.js streams for memory-efficient processing. Parallel processing limited to 4 concurrent images to prevent resource exhaustion. Object pool reduces GC pressure by reusing buffers.\n\n## Use Cases\n- Process large images (>100MB) without OOM errors\n- Batch process thousands of images efficiently\n- Reduced memory footprint allows higher concurrent user load\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Run performance benchmarks\nnpm run benchmark\n\n# Test with large files\nnode tests/performance/large-files.test.js\n\n# Verify memory usage\nnode --inspect tests/memory-usage.js\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #456\n- Performance report: /docs/performance/2024-01-image-processing.md\n```\n\n**Example 4: Refactor**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nRefactor authentication module to use clean architecture patterns, improving testability and reducing coupling.\n\n## Context\nAuthentication module had tight coupling between business logic and infrastructure, making it difficult to test and modify. This was identified in technical debt review #234.\n\n## Changes\n- Separated business logic from infrastructure dependencies\n- Introduced repository pattern for data access\n- Added service layer for authentication operations\n- Extracted interfaces for better mocking in tests\n\n### Key Implementation Details\nBusiness logic now depends on interfaces rather than concrete implementations. Infrastructure (database, cache) is injected as dependencies. All services are unit-testable without external dependencies.\n\n## Use Cases\n- Easier to add new authentication providers (OAuth, SAML)\n- Simpler to mock for unit tests\n- Clear separation of concerns improves maintainability\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Unit tests (no database required)\nnpm test tests/unit/auth/\n\n# Integration tests (with real database)\nnpm test tests/integration/auth/\n\n# Verify all existing functionality still works\nnpm run e2e\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #234\n- Architecture doc: /docs/architecture/auth-module.md\n```\n\n**Example 5: Simple Fix (Minimal but Complete)**\n\n```markdown\n## Summary\nFix typo in user welcome email template that caused incorrect company name to display.\n\n## Context\nUsers were seeing \"Welcome to [Wrong Company]\" instead of the correct company name. Reported in #567.\n\n## Changes\n- Corrected company name in email template\n- Added test to catch similar typos in the future\n\n## Testing\n```bash\n# Run email template tests\nnpm test tests/unit/email-templates.test.ts\n\n# Verify email renders correctly\nnpm run test:email --template=welcome\n```\n\n## Links\n- Related issues: #567\n```\n\n### 5.
