Slash Command

/agentic-tool-forge

Forge a raw intent into the optimal reusable agentic-tool — research pre-existing internal+external solutions first (DRY), decide the best artifact TYPE (prompt/skill/command/agent/mcp/plugin/marketplace/rule), name it via 5-axis rigor, make it AI-agnostic + multi-agentic, then forge + save (operator-confirmed). Thin wrapper over the `agentic-tool-forge` skill. Genesis stage of the agentic-tool lifecycle.

The summary Claude sees in its command listing — used to decide when to auto-load this command

# /agentic-tool-forge

Invoke the **`agentic-tool-forge`** skill (Claude Code: `Skill` tool with `skill: "agentic-tool-forge"`; other hosts: the equivalent skill-activation mechanism), passing the arguments below.

**Arguments**: `$ARGUMENTS`

## Parsing
- If `$ARGUMENTS` starts with `--`, pass the flags through verbatim.
- Else treat the whole string as `--goal "$ARGUMENTS"` (bare-intent shorthand) with defaults: `--scope auto --type auto --name auto --research both`.
- Empty `$ARGUMENTS` → print the skill's usage + parameter table; do NOT guess an intent.

/agentic-tool-forge

Invoke the agentic-tool-forge skill (Claude Code: Skill tool with skill: "agentic-tool-forge"; other hosts: the equivalent skill-activation mechanism), passing the arguments below.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Parsing

If $ARGUMENTS starts with --, pass the flags through verbatim.
Else treat the whole string as --goal "$ARGUMENTS" (bare-intent shorthand) with defaults: --scope auto --type auto --name auto --research both.
Empty $ARGUMENTS → print the skill's usage + parameter table; do NOT guess an intent.

What it does (skill pipeline)

research (internal ‖ external ‖ DRY) → compare/critique → decide artifact type → name (5-axis) → design (Goldilocks · RBAD · Socratic) → gate (host pre-creation + anti-theater gates if present · rule-quality-tests 6 self-validity) → forge → confirm + save → handoff (→ /agentic-tool-evaluator → /agentic-tool-trainer).

If an existing tool already covers ≥50% of the intent, it recommends EXTEND that tool instead of creating a new one. Use --dry-run to get the type+name+path proposal without writing.

Family

Genesis stage of the agentic-tool lifecycle: forge → evaluate → train → operate → deprecate. Siblings: skills/agentic-tool-evaluator, skills/agentic-tool-trainer; shared protocols/agentic-tool-lifecycle.md.
