FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a project structure for Claude agents?▼

To set up a project structure for Claude agents, you need to create essential meta-files like CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md. This scaffolding process aligns your repository with the Forge workflow by generating the necessary configuration files and documentation directories automatically.

What files do I need to create to start using Forge workflows?▼

Starting Forge workflows requires creating CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md as a symlink, a docs directory, a README, and a CHANGELOG.md. These files establish a Forge-ready repository skeleton that enables consistent tooling and accelerates project onboarding.

Can I retrofit an existing codebase to adopt CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md?▼

Yes, you can retrofit an existing codebase to adopt CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md. The scaffolding process supports both greenfield projects and existing repositories, allowing you to integrate Forge workflow files without disrupting your current project structure.

What is the best way to scaffold a Forge-ready project skeleton?▼

The best way to scaffold a Forge-ready project skeleton is to run an automated setup process at your project root. This creates CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, docs/, README, and CHANGELOG.md simultaneously, ensuring all necessary meta-files are generated for consistent tooling.

Does the Forge project setup require any dependencies or components?▼

No, the Forge project setup does not require any dependencies or components. It operates independently to create the essential project meta-files, allowing you to establish a Forge-ready repository structure without prerequisite installations.
