By bishwas-py
Universal dev workflow plugin — auto-detects your stack, orchestrates tasks, PRs, reviews, linting, testing, and deployment. Includes /forge:recon (autonomous security & consistency auditor with confidence letters) and /forge:compare (side-by-side system comparison).

Compare two systems side-by-side. Analyzes UI flows, logical architecture, data handling, security posture, and technical patterns between two running apps or two codebases. Use with --mode recon to crawl both UIs, or --mode code to compare codebases. Trigger on: compare systems, compare apps, side-by-side comparison, how does X differ from Y, compare these two, diff two systems.
Universal dev workflow orchestrator. Use this skill whenever working on any software project — picking up tasks from Linear or GitHub Issues, creating branches, developing features, running linting and tests, creating PRs, handling CodeRabbit reviews, or deploying. Trigger on any mention of tasks, issues, PR workflows, code review, linting, testing, migrations, deployments, or dev workflow questions. Works on any tech stack — auto-detects languages, frameworks, and tooling.
Stack-agnostic autonomous security, consistency, and quality auditor. Crawls any running web app using Playwright, runs programmatic security and accessibility scans, cross-checks UI/API/DB values, attacks forms with wild data, and produces a Confidence Letter with a scored report that forge can consume to fix issues. Authors persistent test files in the project's native Playwright flavor (TS/JS/Python/Java/.NET) for repeatable checks (zero-token execution) and uses MCP only for exploratory discovery. Trigger on: recon, audit, security check, consistency check, confidence letter, quality audit, end-to-end check, verify the app, check everything, mutation propagation, cross-page consistency, state propagation, data flow audit.
README
Forge
Universal dev workflow plugin for Claude Code. Auto-detects your stack, orchestrates the full development lifecycle from task pickup to merged PR — works on any project, any language.
Install
First, add the marketplace:
/plugin marketplace add Bishwas-py/forge
Then install the plugin:
/plugin install forge
To update to the latest version:
/plugin marketplace update
What It Does
Forge handles the full dev loop:
- Read current state — git status, open PRs, tasks (Linear or GitHub Issues)
- Pick a task — fetch backlog, rank by impact + complexity, you decide
- Detect project — scan files, infer stack, confirm with you, remember it
- Fill gaps — missing linter/tests/CI? recommend setup, you decide
- Create branch — follows your naming convention
- Develop — code across repos, respects stored hard rules
- Pre-PR gate — lint, test, E2E, security, self-review
- Create PR —
gh pr createwith description + task reference - Review cycle — CodeRabbit/reviewer comments, fix, get approval
- Merge — merge, deploy (if configured), Linear auto-updates
Recommended Plugins
Claude Code does not yet support formal plugin dependencies (tracking issue). Forge adapts to what you have installed — it skips phases that lack their required plugin rather than failing.
That said, you'll get the most out of Forge with these installed:
Core (strongly recommended)
| Plugin | Used for | Install |
|---|---|---|
| linear | Task fetching, status updates, project mapping | claude plugin install linear |
| github | PR creation, CI checks, review comments | claude plugin install github |
Quality & development
| Plugin | Used for | Install |
|---|---|---|
| feature-dev | Structured development, code architecture | claude plugin install feature-dev |
| code-simplifier | Pre-PR code cleanup | claude plugin install code-simplifier |
| playwright | E2E visual verification | claude plugin install playwright |
| frontend-design | UI/component work | claude plugin install frontend-design |
How It Works Without Plugins
Forge degrades gracefully:
- No
linear? — Fall back to GitHub Issues viagh, or skip task selection entirely - No
github? — Skip PR creation, just run the pre-PR gate - No
feature-dev? — Develop without structured codebase analysis - No
frontend-design? — Develop UI without design-focused guidance - No
playwright? — Skip E2E visual checks - No
code-simplifier? — Skip automated cleanup, rely on self-review only
The core value — stack detection, knowledge persistence, pre-PR quality gate — works with zero plugins.
