Scaffolds a lean FORGE project with core files (.pipeline, board.json, modules.json, project.json, docs)
Seeds a starter CLAUDE launcher and optional tooling when FORGE plugin is available
Supports non-destructive init by skipping existing files and safely seeding defaults

Quick Start

Run /forge:init to bootstrap a new FORGE project in your repository.

FAQPage Schema

How do I initialize a FORGE project workspace with scaffold files?▼

Run the initialization command to automate FORGE project setup, which scaffolds core configuration files including project.json, board.json, modules.json, and docs for a consistent Lean pipeline.

What does non-destructive project initialization do when files already exist?▼

Non-destructive project initialization safely skips existing files and seeds defaults when plugin data is unavailable. This preserves your current workspace while validating or skipping steps if the plugin root cannot be located.

Can I set up a CLAUDE launcher during project scaffolding?▼

Yes, you can seed a starter CLAUDE launcher during project scaffolding when the FORGE plugin is available. The initialization process automatically configures this optional tooling alongside your core workspace files.

Do I need the FORGE plugin to scaffold a new project workspace?▼

You do not need the FORGE plugin to scaffold a new project workspace. The initialization process safely seeds defaults when plugin data is unavailable and validates or skips specific steps if the plugin root cannot be located.

What's the best way to apply a consistent Lean pipeline setup to existing worktrees?▼

The best way to apply a consistent Lean pipeline setup to existing worktrees is using automated project initialization. It enforces non-destructive behavior by skipping existing files while generating required configuration and scaffold files.
