Cas d'usage

Usages concrets : forge-skill

Consult variants of yourself before a hard decision

👤 People facing tricky life/career decisions who want structured self-reflection ⏱ ~60 min intermediate

Quand l'utiliser : A fork-in-the-road decision where you want to hear your own conflicting voices.

Prérequis

Skill installed — git clone https://github.com/YIKUAIBANZI/forge-skill ~/.claude/skills/forge-skill
Raw material: journals / chat export — Collect into a local folder the skill can read

Déroulement

Build self profile

Use forge-self on /path/to/my-journals and chats. Distill patterns, decision tendencies, blind spots.✓ Copié

→ Local profile written with identified patterns
Consult variants

use-self. Decision: accept the offer or stay. Give me 'cautious me', 'decisive me', 'relationship-focused me' perspectives.✓ Copié

→ Three distinct voices, not bland averages

Résultat : A decision you made after hearing your own contradictions.

Pièges

Expecting one 'right' answer to pop out — The skill's promise is perspective, not prescription

Déroulement

Build persona

→ Persona file capturing style, vocabulary, quirks
Use the persona

use-persona — talk to me about my job stress the way she would.✓ Copié

→ Response that recognizably sounds like her — not generic
Correct iteratively

That phrase wasn't quite her — here's how she'd actually say it.✓ Copié

→ Profile updated, next response better

Résultat : An echo you can sit with, fully under your control.

Pièges

Treating it as the person rather than an echo — The skill explicitly warns: this is not resurrection. Hold it as a tool for reflection

Audit your own communication patterns over a year

Outils

Ce que ce MCP expose

Outil	Entrées	Quand appeler	Coût
forge-self	archive path	Build your own digital mirror	0 — local
forge-persona	archive path, person name	Preserve another's voice	0 — local
use-self	question + variant choice	Decision reflection	0
use-persona	question	Voice-preserved conversation	0

Coût et limites

Coût d'exécution

Quota d'API: None
Tokens par appel: Large on initial distillation (journals can be big)
Monétaire: Free
Astuce: Distill once, reuse many times — the profile is persistent

Sécurité

Permissions, secrets, portée

Portées minimales : Read on your source folders, write on the profile folder

Stockage des identifiants : None — fully local

Sortie de données : LLM call processes the data — choose a provider whose policy you're comfortable with

Ne jamais accorder : Network egress for the profile data — stays on your disk

Deeply personal data — think before choosing which LLM provider processes it.
Preserving someone else's voice: do so with respect for them and for yourself.
This is an echo, not a person. Set psychological expectations accordingly.

Dépannage

Erreurs courantes et correctifs

Distilled profile feels generic

Supply more source material, especially distinctive pieces

Persona drifts over many turns

Periodically correct; the skill learns from your corrections

Alternatives

Alternative	Quand l'utiliser	Compromis
