forge-intake
Skill1 starsChanged 6 months agoMITView on GitHub
Collects model requirements (goal, domain, corpus_ref, target_use, license preference, language, constraints) interactively or from an --auto-spec JSON file. Validates against D-005 (300M parameter ceiling for the v1 size class) before letting the run proceed. Entry point for the legacy v1 pipeline; v2 runs use forge-analyze + forge-plan instead.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 16
If manifest.spec is already populated, exit 0 (already intaken)
- Very specific: line 21
Write manifest.spec and advance state to ARCHITECT
- Very specific: line 33
If manifest.spec is non-empty, exits 0 without re-prompting.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

forge-intake
When this fires
Phase position: INTAKE — entry point for the legacy v1 manifest-driven
flow. Precedes forge-architect. Skipped on v2 runs (forge-analyze
populates analysis.json directly from the input).
What it does
- If
manifest.specis already populated, exit 0 (already intaken) - With
--auto-spec <path>, read the JSON and validate required keys - Without auto-spec, ask the operator interactively for: goal, domain, corpus_ref, target_use, license_preference, language, constraints
- Hard-validate
constraints.max_params <= 300_000_000(D-005 ceiling) - Write
manifest.specand advance state toARCHITECT
Inputs
$1= forge-id (required)--auto-spec <path>= JSON file with the spec fields (optional)- stdin (interactive mode when --auto-spec absent)
Outputs
manifest.spec.{goal, domain, corpus_ref, target_use, license_preference, language, constraints}manifest.state.current_phase = ARCHITECT
Idempotency
If manifest.spec is non-empty, exits 0 without re-prompting.
Failure modes
| Exit | Reason |
| 0 | spec populated (success or already-done) |
| 1 | missing required spec field OR max_params > 300_000_000 (D-005 violation) |
| 64 | no forge-id provided |
External resources
- stdin (interactive) or filesystem (
--auto-specJSON) - Local manifest only — no AWS / HF / Anthropic calls
Cost class
free — pure local I/O.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
