We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
7 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 6 are very specific to this project.

Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.

Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Check if project is already set:

If it returns (not set), ask the user for their Forge project (entity/project) and set it:
- Very specific: line 68
If wandb_api_key shows (not set) and no WANDB_API_KEY env var is active, ask the user for their key …

All items should show ✓. If anything shows ✗, diagnose and fix before reporting success.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Forge Agent Lens for Claude Code Plugin — Install
Complete the full installation and initial configuration of the Forge Agent Lens for Claude Code plugin.
Step 0 — Detect prior install state
which forge-agent-lens-for-claude-code- Not found → Fresh install. Continue with Step 1.
- Found → Already installed or being upgraded. Skip Step 1 and continue with Step 2: re-running
installboth refreshes after an npm upgrade (drift detection fires automatically) and re-validates an existing install.
Step 1 — Install the CLI
npm install -g @coreweave/forge-agent-lens-for-claude-codeIf it fails with a permission error (EACCES on a system Node install), confirm with the user before retrying with sudo npm install -g @coreweave/forge-agent-lens-for-claude-code.
Verify:
which forge-agent-lens-for-claude-codeDo not proceed until this prints a path.
Step 2 — Run install
forge-agent-lens-for-claude-code installThis creates ~/.forge-agent-lens-for-claude-code/settings.json, registers the marketplace in Claude Code, and installs the forge plugin at user scope.
The output will include one of:
✓ Marketplace registered (vX.Y.Z)— first time on this machine.✓ Marketplace already registered (vX.Y.Z)— fully idempotent re-run.✓ Marketplace refreshed (vOLD → vNEW)followed by✓ Plugin updated — restart Claude Code to apply— the binary was upgraded since last run; drift detection refreshed the pin and upgraded the loaded plugin.
If --force is needed (e.g., rebuilding a corrupted settings.json), run forge-agent-lens-for-claude-code install --force.
Step 3 — Configure the Forge project
Check if project is already set:
forge-agent-lens-for-claude-code config get projectIf it returns (not set), ask the user for their Forge project (entity/project) and set it:
forge-agent-lens-for-claude-code config set project ENTITY/PROJECTStep 4 — Configure API Key
Check current state:
forge-agent-lens-for-claude-code config showIf wandb_api_key shows (not set) and no WANDB_API_KEY env var is active, ask the user for their key (https://forge.coreweave.com/wandb/authorize) and set it:
forge-agent-lens-for-claude-code config set wandb_api_key API_KEYStep 5 - (Optional) Custom Agent Name
Traces appear under the agent name claude-code in CoreWeave Forge AgentLens by default. If the user wants a custom name (e.g. to distinguish teams or projects), set it:
forge-agent-lens-for-claude-code config set agent_name CUSTOM_NAMESkip this step unless the user asks; the default is fine for most users.
Step 6 - Verify
forge-agent-lens-for-claude-code statusAll items should show ✓. If anything shows ✗, diagnose and fix before reporting success.
On success, tell the user Claude Code sessions will now be traced to their Forge project starting from the next session. If a Plugin updated or Marketplace refreshed line appeared in Step 2, remind them to run /reload-plugins (or restart Claude Code) so the running session picks up the new code.

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.
