Code Forge
Complete Codex development workflow for turning requirements, feature docs, or prompts into working code. Use when the user asks to plan implementation work, execute tasks, enforce TDD, review source code, fix bugs, debug failures, verify completion, manage worktrees or branch finishing, dispatch parallel agents, port a project to another language, check progress, or run an end-to-end build flow. Supports complex orchestration across plan -> impl -> review -> fix -> verify, plus build, forge smart dispatch, worktree, finish, parallel, port, tdd, debug, and status workflows.

From the SKILL.md
# Code Forge Orchestrator Code Forge is a development execution workflow suite. This root skill is the Codex-facing orchestrator: decide which child skill or command workflow to load, preserve the planning/execution contract, and avoid loading large references until they are needed. ## Trigger Patterns Use this skill when the user asks for any of the following: - End-to-end implementation from spec or prompt: use `commands/build.md` - Smart natural-language dispatch to a code-forge workflow: use `commands/forge.md` - Generate an implementation plan from docs, a directory, or a prompt: use `skills/plan/SKILL.md` - Execute pending feature tasks or resume work: use `skills/impl/SKILL.md` - Check feature or project progress: use `skills/status/SKILL.md` - Review **source code** quality, handle code feedback, or post a GitHub PR review: use `skills/review/SKILL.md` - Debug and fix **code defects** with upstream trace-back: use `skills/fix/SKILL.md` - Investigate root cause for untracked bugs or failures: use `skills/debug/SKILL.md` - Enforce Red-Green-Refactor for ad-hoc implementation: use `skills/tdd/SKILL.md` - Verify work before claiming done, when a command can settle it: use `skills/verify/SKILL.md` - Create isolated git worktrees: use `skills/worktree/SKILL.md` - Merge, PR, keep, or discard completed branch work: use `skills/finish/SKILL.md` - Dispatch independent problems to parallel agents: use `skills/parallel/SKILL.md`

Related skills
Codesplain
6opitaru-sys/codesplain
Use when working in a coding project owned by a non-coder - when the project root contains CODESPLAIN.md, when the user invokes /codesplain (to bootstrap a project or ask a question), when a consequential technical decision comes up during building, or when explaining a bug or fix to the owner in plain language.
Code Animations
5beriki770-ship-it/code-animations
Make "code-rendered" animated videos where a program draws every frame (Canvas 2D + procedural Web Audio), rendered headless to MP4 in 16:9 / 9:16 / 4:5 from one timeline. Use for animated explainers, technical walkthroughs, diagrams in motion, and procedural sound or music, where the output should be editable code and not generated pixels.
Coding Quality Loop
6zaingz/coding-quality-loop
Use when a coding agent must turn a software goal, bug, issue, or refactor into a small, verified, independently reviewed code change.
Audit Codebase
6bogenc/audit-codebase
Audit a codebase for security vulnerabilities by first mapping its attack surface (reconnaissance), then spawning specialized parallel sub-agents that hunt for specific vulnerability classes, each armed with the matching reference file bundled in this skill. Use this whenever the user wants a security review, a vulnerability scan, an audit, a pentest-style pass, or asks "is this code safe / exploitable", "check X for vulnerabilities", "review the auth", or points at a repo, service, or directory and asks what could go wrong. Trigger even when the user names only a stack ("audit my Django API")
Contributor Codebase Analyzer
6anivar/contributor-codebase-analyzer
Deep-dive code analysis with periodic saving. Contributor mode reads every commit diff for annual reviews, accuracy rates, and promotion readiness. Codebase mode maps repository structure, cross-repo relationships, and enterprise governance. Works with GitHub (gh) and GitLab (glab). Saves checkpoints incrementally for resume across sessions.
Affiliate Check
5Gingg7260/affiliate-skills
Live affiliate program data from list.affitor.com. Search programs, compare commissions, check cookie days, find top performers. Use when researching affiliate programs, comparing options, or checking program details. Persistent daemon with cache — first call starts server (~2s), subsequent calls ~100ms.
