What problem does it solve?
The Forge skill helps you resolve engineering and architecture decisions by gathering code evidence and producing a structured, adversarial recommendation instead of settling on intuition.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Evidence-first deliberation: performs required evidence gathering (read files, search patterns, map structure, inspect git history, and run tests/dependency checks when available) before deciding.
- Hegelian synthesis output: runs a two-round panel where Thesis and Antithesis are integrated into a Synthesis-style verdict for engineering trade-offs.
- Modes for different decision pressures: supports Full, Quick, Duo, Triad, and member selection to match time constraints and desired rigor.
Use case: You are deciding between monorepo vs polyrepo for a system with active development, and you want a decision grounded in the current repository structure, change history, and practical maintainability risks.
Quick Start
Ask Forge: "Use /forge --triad architecture 'Should we use monorepo or polyrepo?' and provide an evidence-based verdict with risks and next steps."
