claudeforge.github.io — Scaffold AI agent projects in seconds

Features

Everything you need for
AI-native development

claudeforge wires up the entire Claude Code ecosystem so you can ship, not configure.

🤖

Pre-built Agents

A production-ready code-reviewer agent ships out of the box. Add custom agents with one command — each with its own model, color, and description.

⚡

10 Slash Commands

/commit, /review-pr, /standup, /fix-issue and more — ready in Claude Code chat the moment you scaffold.

🧠

Persistent Memory

Four structured memory files load every Claude session so context survives restarts. Tell Claude to "remember" facts and they persist forever.

🔒

Safety Hooks

Pre-configured hooks block rm -rf, curl | bash, and credential file edits before they execute. Ship fast without shooting yourself in the foot.

🏗️

CI/CD out-of-the-box

GitHub Actions workflows for Node.js, Python, Go, and Rust. PR templates, issue templates, CODEOWNERS — all auto-detected from your stack.

🔌

Stack Detection

Scans your project for indicator files and auto-generates stack-specific commands, permissions, environment variables, and MCP server configs.

How it works

Zero to production in
four steps

The CLI scaffolds files; the Claude Code IDE extension handles all the AI work. No extra API keys.

Scaffold your project

Run claudeforge create my-project in your terminal. An interactive wizard asks for your project name, description, and tech stack — then generates 25+ files in seconds.

claudeforge create my-api

Set up context in the IDE

Open the project in VS Code / JetBrains with the Claude Code extension. Run /setup-project in chat — Claude reads your codebase and auto-fills every config file.

/setup-project "FastAPI with PostgreSQL"

Generate starter code

Run /scaffold-structure to create src/, tests/, and stack-appropriate starter files. Your project is now ready to develop.

/scaffold-structure

Use slash commands daily

Commit, review PRs, run standups, and fix issues — all from Claude Code chat. Extend with custom agents and commands as your project grows.

/commit /review-pr /standup

A typical developer day using claudeforge slash commands in Claude Code chat.

Claude Code chat (IDE)

# Morning: generate standup from last 2 days of commits
> /standup "last 2 days"
  Yesterday: Added JWT middleware, fixed race in auth handler
  Today: Migrating billing to Stripe v3, unblocked by auth work
  Blockers: None

# Fix a bug fast
> /fix-issue "TypeError: 'NoneType' has no attribute 'stripe_id' in billing/checkout.py line 87"
  Reading billing/checkout.py…
  Root cause: user.stripe_id not checked before use when subscription is free-tier
  ✓ Added null guard at billing/checkout.py:87

# Review your own PR before pushing
> /review-pr
  Correctness   ✓ LGTM
  Security      ~ Add rate limiting to /checkout endpoint
  Performance   ✓ LGTM
  Tests         ⚠ Missing test for free-tier null guard

# Commit with a conventional commit message
