Excerpt

Forge: Reference-Grounded Prompt-Artifact Formation

Form a ready-to-use prompt artifact by grounding the user's under-determined intent in an authoritative reference document. This skill does not run the downstream tool, open branches, or create PRs. It surfaces the user's intent coordinates, grounds them against a reference (dynamically fetched, staleness-guarded), and emits one prompt artifact — an initial prompt for a follow-up session or tool, or a standing custom-skill recipe.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
