What skill-forge-essentials does

The package provides three behavioral skills targeting recurring AI coding failures. It addresses hidden technical debt that accumulates across agent-authored files, while preventing context compaction amnesia during long interactive sessions.

A separate component handles imprecise modifications during Design Mode edits. The logic relies on behavioral self-enforcement by the model itself, so no external tools or system binaries are required; success depends on how strictly the assistant follows its instructions.

What it helps with

  • Prevent hidden technical debt produced during automated code generation
  • Retain critical requirements when context compaction wipes working memory
  • Avoid imprecise component edits while working in Design Mode

Example prompts for the agent

  • Audit the recently generated files for hidden debt before opening a PR
  • Apply Design Mode changes and ensure unrelated components stay untouched
  • Summarize current constraints before context compaction resets active memory
