Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

By chrono-meta/forge-harness (GitHub) · coding · 33 stars · scanned at commit f87f196

Estimates token cost before a multi-step task and outputs a 4-tier Green/Yellow/Orange/Red gate verdict. Records actual vs. estimated after completion when a mechanical usage source exists. Triggers on "token budget", "how much will this cost", "will this be expensive", "estimate tokens", before long multi-agent tasks.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'token-budget-gate' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'token-budget-gate' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named token-budget-gate already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/chrono-meta/forge-harness' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'f87f196702244aa4114c090e71449dbc7695caeb' -- 'plugins/fh-commons/skills/token-budget-gate' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/fh-commons/skills/token-budget-gate' ~/.agents/skills/'token-budget-gate' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'token-budget-gate' ~/.claude/skills/'token-budget-gate' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
