FREQUENTLY ASKED
Answers to the questions buyers and sellers ask most.
For buyers
What is AI Info Forge?
A marketplace for Claude prompts, skills, and agents. Every paid listing is tested against current Claude models — Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku, with Fable 5 tracked — before it goes live, and re-verified automatically when Anthropic ships a new model. If a listing breaks, you see it on the product page before you buy.
What is drift testing and why does it matter?
"Drift" is when a prompt that worked perfectly on one Claude model starts producing different (often worse) results on a newer model. It's a quiet problem — your prompt doesn't error, it just degrades.
AI Info Forge runs seller-written test cases against the current Claude models on a schedule, plus AI-synthesized edge cases. When results change, the listing's status badge flips and the seller is notified. You always see the most recent verification status on the product card and detail page.
What do the badges on each product mean?
VERIFIED — the listing passed every test case against the current Claude models on the latest scheduled run.
PARTIAL — passed on some models but failed on at least one (the failing model is shown on the badge).
FAIL — failed on every model tested. We surface these publicly rather than hiding them; sellers usually fix and re-verify quickly.
PENDING — a verification run is queued or in progress. Most finish within ~7 minutes; the cron retries any that get stuck.
AV ✓ 0 / 75 — AntiVirus pill. Means VirusTotal scanned the file across 75 engines and 0 flagged it. Click the pill to see the full report.
How is the file kept safe?
Two-tier scanning: (1) we generate a SHA-256 hash of every uploaded file and a manifest of what's inside any ZIPs, and (2) we send the file to VirusTotal for cross-engine antivirus scanning. The product page shows the AV pill with the live result, and downloads of files flagged by 2 or more engines are automatically blocked.
None of this replaces your own judgment — Claude prompts/skills are code-like artifacts you'll run inside your own AI tooling. Read the manifest, scan it on your end if you want extra assurance.
How do downloads work?
After purchase you get an emailed receipt with a signed download link. The same link is also accessible by entering your purchase email at aiinfoforge.com/buy/lookup — we'll send a fresh link to your inbox. Files stay available to you even if the seller later delists or removes the product.
What if a prompt I bought stops working?
First check the product page — if a new model dropped, you may see the listing's badge has changed to PARTIAL or FAIL. The seller usually pushes a fixed version within a few days; existing buyers can re-download the latest file from the same purchase email link.
If a listing fails verification and the seller doesn't fix it within a reasonable window, email admin@aiinfoforge.com and we'll handle it case-by-case.
Refunds and disputes
Because every product is an instant digital download, all sales are final by default. Two exceptions:
- The file is unusable on arrival (corrupt, empty, doesn't match the description in a material way) — full refund.
- A paid listing fails verification on every model within 7 days of your purchase AND the seller hasn't shipped a fix — full refund.
Email admin@aiinfoforge.com with your purchase email and we'll process it within a few business days.
Do I need a Claude subscription to use what I buy?
Yes. The prompts, skills, and agents sold here are designed to run inside Claude (claude.ai or the API). You need an active Claude account. Some products will also work in Claude Code if you have that installed.
For sellers
What can I list?
Three product types: prompts (single-file system prompts, templates, or complex prompt scaffolds), skills (a Claude Skill package — a ZIP containing a SKILL.md and any supporting files), and agents (multi-step workflows, often Claude Code agents). Each listing can be assigned 1-3 categories so it shows up in shop filters.
How much does it cost? What is the platform fee?
No upfront cost. AI Info Forge keeps a percentage of each sale and pays the rest to you via Stripe Connect.
Founder rate (first 100 sellers): 10% platform fee for life. You list as a founder as soon as you complete Stripe onboarding; the rate is locked the day you join.
Standard rate (after the first 100): 14%.
Stripe's own payment-processing fee (around 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) comes out of the sale before the platform-fee split.
How do I get paid?
Payouts run through Stripe Connect. You complete Stripe's identity verification (KYC) once during signup — that's where you provide your bank account and tax info. After that, Stripe automatically deposits your share of each sale to your bank on its standard payout schedule (usually 2-7 business days depending on your country and account history).
We never see your bank account number or tax ID — Stripe stores those directly.
How do I list a product?
Sign up at aiinfoforge.com/sell/login (magic link to your email), complete Stripe onboarding, then click "Add a product" in your dashboard. You upload the file, write a description (20-500 chars), pick 1-3 categories, set a price (or $0 for free), and submit seller-written test cases.
The listing goes into PENDING status while we verify it. Within ~7 minutes you'll see the VERIFIED / PARTIAL / FAIL badge appear, plus the AV scan pill. Sellers can re-verify manually any time after a 24-hour cooldown.
What are test cases and why are they required for prompts?
A test case is one example of "input → expected behavior" for your prompt. You write 2-5 of them when you list. We run them against current Claude models and grade the results. Without test cases, we can't verify your prompt — so the listing won't get the VERIFIED badge, which kills conversion.
Test cases also fuel drift detection. When Anthropic ships a new model, the same tests run automatically and your dashboard shows whether anything changed.
What happens if my listing fails verification?
The badge flips to FAIL (or PARTIAL if it only failed on some models). The listing stays live — buyers see the failed status before they buy, so they self-select out. You get an email summary of what failed.
To recover: open the listing, edit the file (or test cases if a test was wrong), and hit "Re-verify". After a 24-hour cooldown between re-verifies, the badge updates as soon as the next run finishes.
How often is drift checked?
Listings are automatically re-verified when they're 7+ days past their last run, and immediately when Anthropic releases a new Claude model. You'll see a drift alert in your dashboard if results changed since the previous run.
Can I list a free product?
Yes. Set the price to $0. Buyers go through an email-collection flow instead of Stripe checkout — they enter their email and get the download link. Free listings are great for building a reputation before you launch paid products.
Can I pause or delete a listing?
Both. From your dashboard, "Pause" hides the listing from the shop but keeps the page reachable (existing buyers can still download). "Delete" permanently removes the listing — but existing buyers still keep access to files they already purchased.
Platform & account
How do I sign in?
Magic-link only — enter your email at /buy/lookup (buyer) or /sell/login (seller) and we email you a one-click sign-in link. No password to remember, no password to leak.
I never got the magic-link email — what now?
Check spam, then check that you typed the same email you used at signup (purchase email for buyers, signup email for sellers). If still nothing after a few minutes, email admin@aiinfoforge.com and we'll resend manually.
How do you handle my data?
See the full Privacy Policy. Short version: we store your email + purchase records, Stripe stores your payment and KYC data directly, and we don't use third-party analytics or advertising cookies. We don't sell your data.
How do I contact you?
Email admin@aiinfoforge.com for anything — buyer issues, seller questions, refunds, bugs, suggestions. Replies usually come within 1 business day.
Hi — I'm Scott. I'm running AI Info Forge because the Claude skills market is full of prompts that worked last month and break this month. Verified, drift-tested skills is the version of this market I wish existed. If you've felt the same friction, take a look around the shop, or join the list for updates when new prompts and tools ship.
