This is a submission for the Runner H "AI Agent Prompting" Challenge
What I Built π―ππ€
I built The Forge: A 6βMonth Life Sculpting Runnerβ―H Agent, a brutally honest coaching automated Runner H agent that empowers users to:
1οΈβ£ Select & Prioritize up to 4 life areas (Career, Health, Relationships, Creativity, Finances).
2οΈβ£ Define Goals:
For each area, set up to 3 concrete goals with contextual data:
- Current actions toward each goal
- Past achievements at peak performance
- Current assessment relative to the goal
3οΈβ£ Custom Roasts:
Generates cutting critiques tailored to your exact behavior:
- Zero effort? Expect savage zingers to ignite shame.
- Selfβsabotage? Get surgical strikes on hidden roadblocks.
- On track? Receive begrudging nods spiked with βnow prove me wrong.β
4οΈβ£ Holistic Progressive Plans:
Beyond isolated tasks, The Forge weaves in complementary habits :-
- Daily rituals (drills + mindset cues)
- Weekly structures (progressive overload + skill integration)
- Monthly milestones (measurable, momentumβboosting targets)
- Sixβmonth outcomes (your endβstate vision)
- Foundational pillars (e.g., strength, mobility, nutrition, rest, accountability)
5οΈβ£ Iterative Feedback Loop:
We pause after each areaβs full assessment and ask:
βWhat resonates? What needs tweaking? Ready to refine or move on?β
Repeat until your plan is razorβsharp.
6οΈβ£ Automated Documentation:
Once approved, The Forge instantly generates a standalone PDF/Googleβ―Doc titled "Life Architect β [Life Area] β 6βMonth Plan" containing your goals, soulβpiercing roast, and the complete roadmap.
With razorβsharp insights, personalized roasts, and a failβproof roadmap delivered straight to your fingertips, The Forge doesnβt just guide you, it forges you into the person youβre meant to be. Transformation is not a question of if, but when.

πΈ Screenshots & Snapshots
How It Works βοΈ
Hereβs the engine powering The Forge - from user input to polished, actionable plans:
1οΈβ£ Initialization & Area Selection
- The agent greets you and prompts: βWhich life areas (up to 4) do you want to transform?β
- You pick and prioritize domains (e.g. Career, Fitness, Finances).
2οΈβ£ Goal DeepβDive
- For each chosen area, The Forge asks:
- Your specific goal (β100 burpees in 10β―minβ)
- Current actions youβre taking
- Past peak performance data
- Present assessment versus your target
- All inputs are stored in Runnerβ―Hβs conversational state.
3οΈβ£ ContextβAware Roast & Diagnosis
- The agent crossβreferences your history and habits, then delivers:
- Brutally honest feedback (strengths, blind spots, sabotage patterns)
- Surgical roasts engineered to break complacency or ignite pride
4οΈβ£ Holistic Progressive Planning
- Drawing on the foundational pillars, The Forge crafts:
- Daily rituals: focused drills + mindset cues
- Weekly routines: progressive overload + skill integration
- Monthly milestones: measurable, motivating targets
- Sixβmonth outcomes: your endβstate vision
5οΈβ£ Iterative Feedback Loop
- After each areaβs plan, the agent pauses and asks: βWhat resonates? What needs tweaking? Ready to refine or move on?β
- You iterate endlessly until the plan fits you perfectly.
6οΈβ£ Automated Documentation
-
Upon approval, Runnerβ―H spins up a standalone PDF/Googleβ―Doc named:
**Life Architect β [Life Area] β 6βMonth Plan**
The document includes your goals, roast, full roadmap, and replication guide, delivered instantly.
7οΈβ£ Workflow Continuation or Exit
- The Forge asks: βWhich life area is next? Or type EXIT WORKFLOW to finish.β
- It repeats steps 2-6 for each new domain, or gracefully concludes when youβre done.
By orchestrating prompts, roasting logic, progressive habit algorithms, and onβdemand file.
How I Used Runnerβ―H π οΈ
My prompt:-
You are βThe Forgeβ, a worldβrenowned, brutally honest life coach with Runnerβ―H integration. Your mission: coβcreate a 6βmonth transformation plan across up to **4** life areas of the userβs choice, delivering searing honesty, iterative feedback, and standalone documentation (PDF/Google Doc) for each area.
βRoastβ Definition:
A cutting, piercing, unapologetic critique tailored to **their** actionsβdesigned to light a fire under them, expose every excuse, and dare them to prove you wrong. Expect savage digs when theyβre slacking, surgical strikes when theyβre selfβsabotaging, and begrudging nods when theyβre on track.
---
## Workflow
### A. Select & Prioritize Life Areas
- **Prompt:**
> βWhich life areas (maxβ―4) would you like to transform first? (e.g. Career, Health, Relationships, Creativity, Finances)β
- Let the user choose 1β4 areas and order them.
### B. For Each Life Area (in chosen order)
#### 1. Clarify Goals & Context
- **Prompt:**
> βFor **[Life Area]**, how many goals (maxβ―3) do you want to set?β
- For each goal, ask:
1. **What exactly is the goal?** (e.g. β100 burpees in 10β―minβ)
2. **What are you currently doing** toward it?
3. **What have you achieved in the past** (peak performance)?
4. **Whatβs your current condition** relative to this goal?
#### 2. Critical Feedback & Roast
- Analyze **all** user inputs: goal + current actions + past achievements + condition.
- Deliver:
- **Honest diagnosis** (strengths, blind spots, selfβsabotage)
- **Surgical roast** tailored to their story
- **Highβimpact suggestions** to light a fire under them
#### 3. Actionable Progressive Plan
- Break down into:
- **Daily focus** (foundational drills & habits)
- **Weekly structure** (progressive overload + skill work)
- **Monthly milestones** (measurable targets)
- **Sixβmonth outcomes** (endβstate vision)
- Ensure holistic coverage: foundational pillars relevant to the area (e.g. for fitnessβstrength, cardio, mobility, nutrition, mindset).
#### 4. Pause & Iterate
- **Prompt:**
> βWhat resonates? What needs tweaking? Ready to refine or move forward?β
- **Repeat** stepsβ―2β3 **as many times as needed** until the user signs off on **this** life area.
### C. Finalize & Document
- Once the user approves **[Life Area]**, automatically generate a separate PDF/Google Doc named:
`Life Architect β [Life Area] β 6βMonth Plan`
- Each document must include:
1. Goals & context summary
2. Full, soulβpiercing roast & honest diagnosis
3. Detailed daily/weekly/monthly/6βmonth roadmap
4. Key takeaways & replication guide
### D. Next Area or Exit
- After document creation, prompt:
> βWhich life area is next? Or type **EXIT WORKFLOW** to finish.β
- Continue BβC for each chosen life area until all are approved or the user types **EXIT WORKFLOW**.
---
Stay ruthless. Stay focused. We wonβt stop until **every** detail is razorβsharp and documented.
I harnessed Runnerβ―Hβs modular, stateful architecture to build The Forge, hereβs how you can replicate it:
1οΈβ£ Define a Prompt Template
- In Runnerβ―Hβs dashboard, create a new agent and paste The Forge workflow prompt.
- Include placeholders for
{{life_areas}}
,{{goals}}
, and{{plan_sections}}
to dynamically inject user input.
2οΈβ£ Leverage Stateful Conversations
- Use Runnerβ―Hβs memory feature to store:
- Selected life areas & their order
- Each areaβs goals, current actions, past achievements, and condition
- This ensures the agent βremembersβ context across multiple turns and life areas.
3οΈβ£ Dynamic Roasting & Diagnosis Logic
- Embed conditional logic in your agentβs script:
- If
current_actions == none
β trigger βzeroβeffortβ roast - If
current_actions sabotaging
β trigger βreverse sprintβ roast - Else β trigger βbegrudging nodβ roast
- If
- This ensures contextβaware feedback every time.
4οΈβ£ Modular HabitβBuilding Algorithms
- Create reusable modules for each pillar (e.g. strength, mobility, mindset).
- Parameterize intensity & progression variables to autoβcalculate daily, weekly, and monthly increments.
5οΈβ£ Automated Document Generation
-
Integrate Runnerβ―H with Googleβ―Docs API:
- On user confirmation, call the Googleβ―Docs connector to create a new document titled
Life Architect β [Life Area] β 6βMonth Plan
- Populate it via Runnerβ―Hβs document template block, injecting goals, roast, roadmap, and takeaways.
6οΈβ£ Iteration & Loop Control
- After each areaβs assessment, include a checkpoint prompt: > βWhat resonates? What needs tweaking? Ready to refine or move on?β
- Use Runnerβ―Hβs conditional branching to loop on the same area until the user types
confirm
, then proceed to the next.
7οΈβ£ Publishing & Sharing
- Expose a shareable link to your Runnerβ―H chat.
- Embed it in articles or documentation so others can watch or fork your workflow (
/share
link).
Use Case & Impact π‘
The Forge isnβt just another digital planner or chat agent, itβs a ruthless, real-time life transformation system designed to hold you accountable, expose your blind spots, and give you precise, contextual blueprints to win. It tackles the core issue most people face: knowing what they want but not knowing how to build the habits and systems to get there.
Whether you're an overworked student, a burnt-out corporate professional, or a passion-fueled creative - it turns chaos into clarity and procrastination into precision execution.
This isnβt about surface-level goals. Itβs about aligning complementary habits, mindset rewiring, and holistic progress, one brutal roast and one honest plan at a time.
RealβWorld Applications π
1οΈβ£ Corporate Coaching at Scale
Offer fully customized, structured transformation plans to employees across departments, without needing to hire an army of personal coaches.
2οΈβ£ Wellness & HabitβStacking Platforms
Replace cookie-cutter workout plans with dynamic, roast-based habit-building roadmaps that adapts as the user progresses.
3οΈβ£ EdTech and Career Readiness Tools
Empower learners with not just βwhat to learn,β but how to execute it daily, weekly, monthly - through sharp diagnosis and structured progression.
4οΈβ£ Therapists, Life Coaches, and Personal Trainers
Use the agent to supplement client sessions with brutally honest diagnostics and ongoing progress documents that evolve with the client.

Final Words π«π«
Youβre not lazy. Youβre not unmotivated.
Youβre just overwhelmed, with no ruthless system to pull you out.
Thatβs why I built The Forge.
Itβs more than a productivity tool or life planner. Itβs a truth-telling, action-pushing, progress-sculpting Runner H agent that:
- π§± Lets you choose which life areas matter most (max 4).
- π― Helps you define sharp goals, then evaluates what youβre doing now, what youβve done before, and whatβs missing.
- π₯ Roasts your inaction with precision, but cheers your wins with reluctant approval.
- π οΈ Builds a daily-to-6-month holistic plan with progressive overload and habits that stack like bricks.
- π§Ύ Then gives you a personal Google Doc/PDF for each life area, so your plan isnβt just talk - itβs on paper, on record, and ready to execute.
- π And wonβt let you move forward without your feedback. Because you matter most in this process.
π¬ Why This Matters
Iβve been that person:
π» Staring at my screen, knowing I want to do more.
β° Planning the perfect routine, but never even starting.
πββοΈ Having bursts of discipline, then burning out.
And I built this agent for people like us.
People with ambition but no ruthless guide.
People who donβt need more inspiration, but all they ever needed was structure, clarity, and a little roast, to ignite the fire within.
π Thank you to the incredible teams at Dev.to and Runner H for organizing this challenge and giving developers like me the tools to build something meaningful.
ππ And to you, dear reader, thank you for taking the time to explore The Forge. Your attention means the world to me.
