Step 4 ensures that after creating/updating artifacts in a plugin, forge invokes plugin-author (clean-context subagent) to bump the plugin version if not already done by other skills. Prevents missed version updates when artifacts are added to plugins. Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
