authoring
Use when writing, completing, improving, or adapting SKILL.md and agents/*.md in a bundle-plugin — integrating external skills, filling scaffolded stubs, or rewriting for better triggering and token efficiency
Choose how to use this skill
You do not need every option. Choose the path your AI client supports. The stable page stays the same; versioned files are immutable.
1. Native installer
This listing has no registered native installer command. Use the complete package or source fallback below, depending on what your client supports.
Do not guess an installer command or replace an existing version without reviewing the diff.
2. Complete package recommended
Download the ZIP when available. It includes SKILL.md plus the references, security notes and version metadata.
No complete ProSkills package is published for this listing yet.3. Prompt-only
Copy the prompt above when the agent can read the stable page or when you want to adopt the workflow without installing a skill.
Need only the instruction file?
Download SKILL.md only if your client requires a single file. The complete ZIP is safer for a full installation because it preserves the references and release context.
No path installs or executes anything by itself. Your agent still needs access to the project files. Before updating, compare the installed version and review the diff.

Bundles Forge
A toolkit for building bundle-plugins — AI coding plugins organized around collaborative skill workflows — across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, and OpenClaw.
What is a Bundle-Plugin?
A single skill (SKILL.md) does one thing — an AI agent discovers it by its description field and loads it on demand. A bundle-plugin takes this further: multiple skills reference each other and form a workflow, where one skill's output feeds the next.

bundles-forge itself is a bundle-plugin — blueprinting produces a design, scaffolding generates a project from it, auditing validates the result, and optimizing iterates on issues found.
If your plugin has 3+ skills that form a workflow, you're building a bundle-plugin. This toolkit gives you scaffolding, quality gates, and multi-platform publishing for that pattern.
Quick Start
Install (Claude Code)
-
Add the marketplace:
/plugin marketplace add OdradekAI/bundles-forge -
Install the plugin:
/plugin install bundles-forge@bundles-forge-dev
Or clone locally for development:
git clone https://github.com/OdradekAI/bundles-forge.git
cd bundles-forge
# Add your local marketplace
/plugin marketplace add ./
# Install the plugin
/plugin install bundles-forge@bundles-forge-dev
Other platforms: see Platform Support below.
Path A: Build a New Bundle-Plugin
bundles-forge:blueprinting
This starts a structured interview to design your project — scope, platform targets, skill decomposition. When the design is ready, the agent automatically chains into scaffolding (project generation) and then authoring (SKILL.md writing).
Path B: Audit an Existing Project
cd your-bundle-plugin-project
bundles-forge:auditing
Runs a 10-category quality assessment with pattern-based security checks across 7 file categories.
Concepts
| Concept | What it is |
|---|---|
| Skill | Atomic capability unit (SKILL.md) — discovered by description, loaded on demand |
| Plugin | Packaging/distribution unit — bundles skills, agents, hooks, and more |
| Subagent | Isolated AI assistant for delegated tasks with its own context window |
| Hook | Shell/HTTP/LLM/Agent action that fires automatically on lifecycle events |
| MCP | Open standard connecting Claude to external tools and data sources |

Skills
The 8 skills cover the full lifecycle of a bundle-plugin project, organized into two layers:
- Orchestrators (
blueprinting,optimizing,releasing) — diagnose, decide, and delegate. They chain multiple skills together to accomplish multi-step goals. - Executors (
scaffolding,authoring,auditing,testing) — single-responsibility workers. They can be invoked directly by users or dispatched by orchestrators.

| Phase | Skill | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Design | blueprinting | Three-phase interview (needs exploration → architecture design → design review) → design document → orchestrates the creation pipeline: scaffolding, authoring, workflow design, and initial audit. |
| Scaffold | scaffolding | Generates project structure from design, adds or removes platform support — manifests, hooks, scripts, bootstrap skill, and per-platform files. |
| Write | authoring | Guides SKILL.md and agents/*.md authoring — frontmatter, descriptions, instructions, content integration, and progressive disclosure via references/. |
| Audit | auditing | 10-category quality assessment including pattern-based security checks across 7 file categories. |
| Test | testing | Dynamic verification — local dev-marketplace install, hook smoke tests, component discovery, and cross-platform readiness checks. |
| Optimize | optimizing | Engineering improvements — description triggering, token efficiency, workflow restructuring, adding skills to fill gaps, and feedback iteration. |
| Release | releasing | Orchestrates the pre-release pipeline: version drift check, audit, testing, documentation consistency, change coherence review, version bump, CHANGELOG update, and publish guidance. |
The bootstrap meta-skill using-bundles-forge provides a lightweight session prompt via hooks and full routing context on demand via the Skill tool.
Standalone use: authoring, auditing, and optimizing can be invoked independently on any existing project without going through the full lifecycle.
Guides
Each skill has a companion guide in docs/ with detailed usage, examples, and design rationale:
| Guide | Covers |
|---|---|
| Concepts Guide | Core terminology, architecture diagrams, and design decisions |
| Blueprinting Guide | Three-phase interview, dialogue strategy, design document format, decomposition patterns |
| Scaffolding Guide | Project anatomy, platform adapters, template system |
| Authoring Guide | SKILL.md writing patterns, progressive disclosure, agent authoring |
| Auditing Guide | Checklists, report templates, CI integration |
| Optimizing Guide | Description tuning, token reduction, workflow restructuring |
| Releasing Guide | Version management, CHANGELOG format, publishing workflow |
Agents
| Agent | Role |
|---|---|
inspector | Validates scaffolded project structure and platform adaptation |
auditor | Executes systematic quality audit with security scanning |
evaluator | Runs A/B skill evaluation for optimization and workflow chain verification for auditing (W10-W11) |
Invoking Skills
Skills are invoked automatically (the agent matches user intent to the skill's description field) or explicitly via bundles-forge:<skill-name> references — for example, bundles-forge:auditing or bundles-forge:blueprinting.
Auditing
Both auditing and optimizing accept local paths, GitHub URLs, and zip/tar.gz archives as input — the agent normalizes the target automatically.
Four audit scopes for different levels of granularity — the agent auto-detects scope from the target path:
| Scope | Invocation / Script | What It Checks |
|---|---|---|
| Full Project | bundles-forge:auditing or bundles-forge audit-plugin | 10 categories (structure, manifests, version sync, skill quality, cross-refs, workflow, hooks, testing, docs, security) |
| Single Skill | bundles-forge:auditing on skills/authoring or bundles-forge audit-skill | 4 categories (structure, skill quality, cross-refs, security) |
| Workflow | Explicit request or bundles-forge audit-workflow | 3 layers: static structure, semantic interface, behavioral verification (W1-W11) |
| Security Only | bundles-forge:auditing (security-only mode) or bundles-forge audit-security | Pattern-based detection across 7 file categories (skill content, hook scripts, HTTP hooks, OpenCode plugins, agent prompts, bundled scripts, MCP configs) |
