The Forge
AI-native product management for Claude Code
Manage products, track tasks, capture knowledge, debate decisions, generate reports, and configure Atlassian agents — all from your terminal.
What is The Forge?
The Forge is a suite of 8 Claude Code plugins backed by a shared Python data layer and a Tauri desktop app for visual dashboards. It brings structured product management into your AI coding workflow — no context switching, no separate tools.
Plugins handle conversation and workflow. A deterministic Python CLI (forge-lib) handles all file operations, validation, and indexing. Forge Shell gives you a desktop GUI to browse everything the plugins create.

Key design principle: LLM handles conversation, Python handles data. Commands dropped from 250–300 lines (v1) to 80–100 lines (v2) by delegating all file operations, validation, and templating to forge-lib.
Forge Shell — Desktop Dashboards
A Tauri desktop app that gives you visual dashboards for everything the plugins create.
