AI-Driven Development, Radically Simple

A minimal, concise CLI that unlocks unlimited potential through natural dialogue.

Getting Started

# Install globally and auto-configure Claude Code subagents
npm install -g forge-framework

# Verify installation
forge --version  # Should show 0.6.0

Why FORGE?

🧠 AI-First Design

Built from the ground up for AI interpretation. No complex APIs, just natural conversation.

⚡ Radical Simplicity

A concise, minimal CLI. All intelligence lives in AI agents, not in the framework.

🔄 5-Phase Cycle

Focus → Orchestrate → Refine → Generate → Evaluate. Structure that enables freedom.

🤖 Claude Code Subagents

Auto-configured specialists: Architect, Developer, Tester, DevOps, Reviewer, Analyzer. Each with isolated context and domain expertise.

📝 Markdown Everything

All state, config, and docs in human-readable markdown. Transparency through simplicity.

🚀 Zero Configuration

AI detects your project and configures itself. No hardcoded framework detection.

Quick Example

# Install FORGE globally (auto-configures 6 Claude Code subagents)
npm install -g forge-framework

# Initialize in your project
cd your-project
forge init

# Start building with specialized AI agents
forge new "user authentication"

# Check your progress
forge status

# Move through validated phases
forge phase next

Then have a conversation with your AI assistant:

You: Let's implement user authentication
Claude: I'll use the forge-architect to design the authentication system...

The FORGE Philosophy

“Software development is fundamentally a creative human endeavor. Tools should amplify creativity, not constrain it through complexity.”

FORGE embodies radical simplicity - the framework stays minimal while AI handles all complexity through natural conversation.
