Describe the bug

The skip flag does not seem to have an effect and build info is still created in the out directory for test contracts. I would expect only artifacts for Counter.sol to be generated

$ forge init
$ forge build --build-info --skip test
$ ls out/
Base.sol        Counter.sol     Script.sol      StdCheats.sol   StdMath.sol     StdUtils.sol    build-info      console2.sol
Counter.s.sol   IMulticall3.sol StdChains.sol   StdJson.sol     StdStorage.sol  Vm.sol          console.sol

You are also building the script folder as evidenced by the Counter.s.sol file. You can use forge build --build-info --skip test script to also skip the script folder

Ah, I didn't realize these were related to scripts. Thanks!

No problem! Just to clarify those files are related to both scripts and tests, i.e. the forge-std default Script and Test contracts that scripts/tests inherit from includes all of those contracts, but in this case they were present in out/ due to the script specifically
