Who it is forA developer about to hand a substantial multi-step change to an AI agent who wants to check the plan first.
The problemAgents often start building before the request is understood, and they treat skipped questions as a yes.
The outcomeA plan that maps each acceptance criterion to a step and a way to verify it, reviewed before any build starts.
What you need first
- An agent host that reads Agent Skill folders, such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Devin CLI, or Hermes Agent
- Node.js 22.20 or newer for the Skills CLI, or a manual copy of the skills/sureforge/ folder
- Python 3.11 or newer for the verification scripts
Steps
- Run
npx skills add Da7-Tech/SureForgefrom your project. - Ask your agent: Use Sure Forge for this task. Research the important unknowns before you ask me anything, then give me a plan I can check before you build.
- Answer the questions the agent asks, and check that it does not treat any skipped question as an answer.
- Read the plan gate result, which is READY, REPAIR, or BLOCKED.
- Let the agent start the execute phase only after the plan gate is READY.
Prompt for your agent
Using the Da7-Tech/SureForge skill, research the unknowns in <task description> before asking me questions, then produce a plan that maps each acceptance criterion to a step and a verification method. Expected output: the plan and a plan gate result of READY, REPAIR, or BLOCKED. Verify that no build step appears before the plan gate is READY.
Caveat. The README gives the skill's wording and gates, but it does not claim measured gains on real underspecified work.
