What problem does it solve?
It solves the problem of quickly adding opinionated, working business-integration code to a Forge project without centrally maintaining that code once it diverges.
Core Features & Use Cases
- One-time scaffolding: Copies starter templates (e.g., Stripe billing, Twilio SMS, Clerk webhook user-sync) into your project so you fully own and control the code afterward.
- No re-rendering or migrations: Ensures starters are never tracked in forge.yaml, never re-rendered by forge generate, and never receive upgrade migrations.
- Service-aware routing: Lets you route generated file paths into a specific service using the --service flag to fit your project layout.
Use cases include bootstrapping Stripe billing flows, wiring Twilio webhook validation and messaging contracts, or implementing Clerk webhook user-sync event handling paired with existing auth infrastructure.
Quick Start
Run forge starter add stripe to copy the Stripe billing starter templates into your project for one-time customization.
