session-scoped recursive structured analysis for difficult repository investigation. use when recursive work needs a bounded capability map, explicit execution posture, and durable run records instead of free-form chat exploration.From its SKILL.md

Recursive Structured Analysis

Trigger Signals

the task already needs a recursive session and now needs one bounded analysis step inside that session
the repository is mixed-language or architecture-heavy and support truth should be checked before deeper investigation
the operator needs a durable, inspectable analysis run rather than a prompt transcript

Inspect First

.hforge/runtime/recursive/language-capabilities.json
.hforge/runtime/recursive/sessions/<sessionId>/execution-policy.json
.hforge/runtime/recursive/sessions/<sessionId>/capabilities.json
.hforge/generated/agent-command-catalog.json

Workflow

inspect recursive capability truth before assuming a language or adapter is available
inspect the active recursive session and execution policy
use one bounded structured run at a time
inspect run history and run results instead of relying on chat-only memory
keep support claims honest when a language is degraded, unavailable, or host-executed only

Command Surface

hforge recursive capabilities --root . --json
hforge recursive run <sessionId> --file <snippet> --root . --json
hforge recursive run <sessionId> --stdin --root . --json
hforge recursive runs <sessionId> --root . --json
hforge recursive inspect-run <sessionId> <runId> --root . --json

Operating Rule

Recursive structured analysis is the promoted execution surface for recursive repository investigation. Treat it as session-scoped, policy-bound, and artifact-backed. Do not describe it as a generic REPL or as native execution parity across all languages unless the capability map explicitly supports that claim.
