# Skill-forge - judge-panel skill-hardening harness A lead (the Forge Master) chairs ephemeral runner teammates that exercise a draft document via prompt-injection, and a persistent judge panel that scores the transcripts. The lead amends one thing per round and applies a strict 3-tier promotion gate, until the document promotes or hits a budget ceiling. It is proven by forging itself. The target is a `SKILL.md` by default, but the same loop hardens **any agent instruction file** - `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `GEMINI.md`, `.cursor/rules/*`, `.github/copilot-instructions.md` - because those files have the same failure surface as a skill: they steer an agent and can mislead it. The artifact type is detected deterministically and drives three adaptations (the lens set, the runner variant, and the canonical intent); see [Artifact type and the lens-selector](#artifact-type-and-the-lens-selector) below. ## Boundary Skill-forge is a prove-and-promote quality gate that runs after authoring, not an authoring tool: it pairs with authoring skills (`brainstorming`, superpowers `writing-skills`) that produce a draft, then drives that draft through adversarial rounds before it ships. For an instruction file the same boundary holds - it gates a `CLAUDE.md`/`AGENTS.md` that already exists or has just been drafted; it does not write one from scratch. ## Input contract | Input | Required | Notes | |-------|----------|-------| | Target | yes | Path to a `SKILL.md` (default), or to any agent...
