Forge

Add the Forge marketplace to turn a plain-language product goal into a right-sized Claude Code agent team with roles, deliverables, and coordination topology.

Overview

Forge is a plugin marketplace for the Build phase that helps Claude Code users assemble research-informed multi-agent teams and structured role definitions from a stated goal.

What is this marketplace?

  • Mission-style flow from goal to single agent vs team and coordination topology
  • Vocabulary routing using precise domain titles to activate stronger model expertise
  • Research-informed team sizing (often 3–5 agents with artifact handoffs vs oversized groups)
  • Structured agent definitions with deliverables and anti-pattern guardrails
  • Install via /plugin add or npx add-skill for cross-agent setup
  • Catalog lists 1 plugin in this marketplace entry
  • Documentation emphasizes teams of 3–5 agents with artifact handoffs
  • Open-source MIT-licensed project installable via GitHub plugin URL

Compatible agents: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf

Community signal: 148 GitHub stars.

What problem does it solve?

Vague custom personas and ad-hoc agent sprawl waste tokens and produce shallow expertise when you are trying to ship a real product alone.

Who is it for?

Indie builders launching SaaS or agent-heavy products who want Mission Planner–style team design before coding marathons.

Skip if: Developers who only need a single fixed skill, refuse multi-agent workflows, or want fully automated execution without reviewing team plans.

What do I get? / Deliverables

After registering Forge, you can generate right-sized agent teams with topology, vocabulary routing, and deliverable-focused specs ready to run in Claude Code.

  • Registered Forge marketplace and active Forge plugin
  • Structured agent roster with roles, deliverables, and anti-patterns
  • Chosen coordination topology suited to a small-team solo build

Plugins in this marketplace

1 plugin — install individually after you add the marketplace.

Recommended Marketplaces

Journey fit

Forge ships structured agent definitions and tooling you wire into Claude Code during Build, even when planning started earlier. Agent-tooling is the primary shelf for marketplaces that assemble multi-agent workflows, mission plans, and expert vocabulary packs.

How it compares

Agent team assembly marketplace, not a database MCP server or a frontend component library.

Common Questions / FAQ

Who is Forge for?

Forge is for Claude Code users who want structured multi-agent teams with real-world role vocabulary when tackling product-sized goals.

When should I use Forge?

Use it when validating scope or entering Build and you need to decide agent count, coordination style, and deliverables before implementation.

How do I add Forge to my agent?

Run /plugin add https://github.com/jdforsythe/Forge or npx add-skill jdforsythe/Forge, or register the marketplace then install the Forge plugin in Claude Code.
