Versioned AI skills with guardrails (refusal + PII redaction)

TL;DR A skill isn't a throwaway prompt: it is versioned, tested and composable.

Versioned AI skills with guardrails (refusal + PII redaction)

1 min read Reading 0%

An AI skill is a wrapped prompt. The trap: you duplicate the prompt in ten places and none is tested. SkillForge treats each skill like business code.

What a skill contains

  • A targeted prompt (role, constraints).
  • A RAG retriever (pgvector) for document context.
  • Guardrails: refusal of forbidden categories, automatic PII redaction on output.

Evaluation before prod

Each skill has snapshots: expected input → expected output. On change, we replay. If output drifts beyond a threshold, promotion is blocked.

Why version

Like code: you roll back, compare two versions, know who changed what. An « improved » skill that worsens a real case shows up immediately.
