cf-environment — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited cf-environment (Agent Skill) and scored it 82/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 2 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

Detect where ContentForge is running and report which of its capabilities work in that environment. ContentForge has different real-world behavior on each surface because filesystem access, MCP transports, and subprocess invocation all differ.
~/Documents/ContentForge/ is empty after a runpython scripts/plugin-metadata.py --section environmentThis returns JSON with environment (one of cowork-sandbox, claude-code-windows, claude-code-mac, claude-code-linux, unknown), filesystem indicators, and a cowork_warning field that's non-null when the Cowork sandbox is detected.
Render one of the three matrices below based on the JSON environment.
#### cowork-sandbox
Cowork is the recommended environment for teams as of v3.12.9 — it has the friendliest UX, lowest setup friction, and works for non-CLI users. But it requires one extra setup step (connecting Google Drive) because the sandbox filesystem doesn't persist. After Drive is wired, everything works.
Also check: is a Drive MCP available in this session? Scan your available tools for mcp__*drive* or the Anthropic-platform Drive integration. The capability matrix below splits on that.
=== ContentForge in Cowork ===
| Capability | Cowork + Drive | Cowork alone |
|---------------------------------------------|-------------------|----------------|
| /plugin commands | YES | YES |
| HTTP MCP connectors (Slack, HubSpot, ...) | YES | YES |
| npx / stdio MCP connectors | NO | NO |
| | | |
| Final .docx delivery | -> Drive folder | -> sandbox (gone after session) |
| Brand profile persistence | -> Drive | sandbox only |
| Per-phase checkpoint files | -> Drive | sandbox only |
| /contentforge:resume across sessions | YES (via Drive) | NO |
| Team sharing of outputs | YES (Drive) | NO |
| Files visible to user without download | YES (Drive) | NO |
| Full 10-phase pipeline | YES | LOGICAL ONLY -- outputs sandbox-only |If Cowork + Drive: This is the recommended team setup. Run /contentforge:cf-cowork-setup once to wire the Drive folder layout, then use ContentForge normally. Every .docx, brand profile, and run record lands in My Drive/ContentForge/... where your team can access it from anywhere.
If Cowork without Drive: Connect Drive first. Easiest path: Cowork → Settings → Integrations → Google Drive → Connect (60 seconds). Then run /contentforge:cf-cowork-setup. Until that's done, generated files will only exist for the current session and won't be retrievable after you close the chat.
Local Claude Code (CLI or IDE extension) is the alternative if you don't want to use Drive — files land directly in ~/Documents/ContentForge/<brand>/... on your machine. But for team usage, Cowork+Drive is simpler.

=== ContentForge in local Claude Code (<platform>) ===
| Capability | Works locally? |
|---------------------------------------------|------------------------------|
| /plugin commands | YES |
| All HTTP MCP connectors | YES |
| npx / stdio MCP connectors | YES (requires Node.js) |
| Google Drive via Anthropic platform | LIMITED -- depends on |

| Google Drive via Pipedream / Composio | YES (HTTP) |
| Google Drive via service-account JSON | YES |
| Reading files from your host | YES |
| Writing to ~/Documents/ContentForge/ | YES |
| Writing to ~/.claude-marketing/ | YES |
| Dual-copy save (host + tracking dir) | YES |
| /contentforge:resume across sessions | YES (checkpoints persist) |

This is the reference environment. Every ContentForge feature is designed
to work here. Use the env var CONTENTFORGE_PUBLISH_DIR to redirect the
visible-copy folder to a Dropbox / OneDrive / shared team drive if your
team has one.#### unknown

Environment heuristics couldn't classify this runtime. The plugin will run,
but file-system behavior may differ from the documented assumptions.
Probe data (raw):
<dump indicators from JSON>
Recommended: report this environment in a GitHub issue at
https://github.com/indranilbanerjee/contentforge/issues so we can extend
the environment detector to recognize it.If --verbose is passed, also include the raw indicators block from the JSON (platform, Python version, cwd, home dir, writable_cwd boolean). This helps debug edge cases like a permissions-locked home dir.
Before v3.12.8, ContentForge documentation implicitly assumed the local Claude Code environment. Cowork users would run /contentforge:create-content, see the success message, then ask "where are my files?" and find empty Windows folders. The root cause is that Cowork's bash sandbox can't write to the user's host -- it writes to its own Linux sandbox FS.
v3.12.8 surfaces this honestly with this skill plus an automatic warning in /contentforge:cf-help when the cowork-sandbox environment is detected.
