Deferred item from PR #85 review. Per ADR-0013: cherry-picks two low-noise rules from trialing write-good/alex against the real corpus (VagueQualifier, SentenceOpenerThereIs) into styles/Kyberforge rather than adopting either package wholesale (both are tuned for blog prose and were noisy on this repo's terse, imperative instruction files - see the ADR's rejected-rule list). Adds a new skill-size-check pre-commit hook enforcing agentskills.io's 500-line/5,000-token SKILL.md ceiling, currently unenforced. Fixes the 28 resulting violations across 20 existing SKILL.md/agent files so the enforcing pre-commit hook lands clean. governance.md/CONTROLS.md were evaluated and excluded as rule sources - they're org/CI-infrastructure controls, not prose patterns Vale can express.

forge
Guided entry point for building or improving something in kyberforge when the target artifact type isn't decided yet.
What it does
Grills the user's intent via bin:grill-with-docs (inline, interactive) against this repo's CONTEXT.md and docs/adr/, classifies the target artifact type (skill, agent/subagent definition, plugin, or marketplace entry), announces the classification, then routes to the matching author skill — chaining more than one, in dependency order, if the intent spans multiple artifact types.
Author-skill invocation defaults to a fork subagent (inherits the grilled-intent context) and falls back to inline when forking isn't possible or the routed flow needs live user interaction (clarifying questions, a HITL gate). After a skill-author or agent-author route finishes — each already closes out with its own inline audit — forge spins up a separate clean-context subagent to independently re-run the matching audit skill (skill-audit / agent-audit) as a distinct check on the finished artifact, not a duplicate of the inline one. If that clean audit turns up any unresolved finding, forge loops — re-invoke the author skill to resolve it, re-run the clean audit — until the clean audit comes back with nothing unresolved. plugin-author and marketplace-author routes get no recheck: they have no audit counterpart, and their real terminal check (claude plugin validate) is already part of their own flow.
Before you start
Have a rough idea of what you want to build or change. forge doesn't require you to already know whether it's a skill, agent, plugin, or marketplace entry — that classification is its job.
Usage
/forge
Skip forge and call the target skill directly (/skill-author, /agent-author, /plugin-author, /marketplace-author) when you already know the artifact type.
