Local AI. Remote Control. A desktop AI workstation powered by Claude Agent SDK.

Your workflows, packaged and reusable. Most AI tool marketplaces give you individual plugins — one Skill, one Agent, installed separately, existing in isolation. Real work requires orchestration: a top-level project rule, multiple Agents, each with its own Skills. Forge's Marketplace lets you package an entire orchestration as one reusable unit, and spin up new projects from it in one click.

Every project is an independent team. Each project gets its own Identity, Soul, Memory, Skills, and Agents — all stored in .claude/ and growing richer with every interaction. Switch projects, switch teams. The longer you use it, the better it gets. This isn't a disposable tool. It's an AI team you cultivate over time.

A desktop, not a terminal. Claude Code is powerful, but it lives in the terminal. Forge wraps the same Claude Agent SDK in a native desktop app — streaming responses, inline images, tool call visualization, file tree, and a visual task scheduler. Same capability, lower barrier.

Control from anywhere. Built-in IM Bridge connects Forge to Feishu, Telegram, and Discord. Send a message from your phone, get work done on your machine. All three platforms use outbound connections — no public IP, no port exposure.

Memory that persists. Forge maintains rich, structured memory across sessions — not just a single CLAUDE.md, but a full system: MEMORY.md index (first 200 lines auto-loaded), Agent-driven daily logs, domain-specific topic files, and a 7-day auto-archive that keeps everything without cluttering context.

1. Install the Claude Code CLI: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
2. Authenticate: claude login
3. Download the DMG from the Releases page
4. Launch Forge, complete onboarding, select a project folder
5. Type /init to set up your workspace with a guided interview

git clone https://github.com/feicaiclub/forge.git
cd forge
pnpm install
pnpm dev

When you open a project folder in Forge, the .claude/ directory becomes your Agent's home. Each file shapes a different aspect of your AI team:

<project>/
└── .claude/
    ├── CLAUDE.md        # Project rules — what the Agent should and shouldn't do
    ├── SOUL.md          # Personality — communication style, tone, values
    ├── IDENTITY.md      # Identity — Agent name, role, emoji
    ├── USER.md          # About you — your role, preferences, background
    ├── MEMORY.md        # Memory index — first 200 lines loaded every session
    ├── HEARTBEAT.md     # Periodic checks — tasks Agent runs on a schedule
    ├── memory/          # Daily logs + topic files
    ├── agents/          # Sub-Agent definitions (.md files)
    ├── skills/          # Project-specific skills
    └── rules/           # Conditional rules (path-scoped)

You can edit these files directly in Forge's built-in editor, or use /init to generate them through a guided conversation.

Global resources at ~/.claude/skills/ and ~/.claude/agents/ are shared across all projects and synced with Claude Code.

First time opening a project? Type /init in the chat. The Agent walks you through 6 questions to personalize your workspace:

Every question can be skipped — the Agent fills in sensible defaults. If .claude/ already has config files, the Agent reads them first and only fills in what's missing.

Forge's Marketplace isn't a plugin store — it's a solution library. Each template captures an entire orchestration: project rules, multiple Agents, multiple Skills, and config files, all as one package.

When you've tuned a project setup that works well:

1. Type /save-as-template in the chat
2. Enter a template name
3. Done — your .claude/ config (excluding runtime data like memory and heartbeat) is saved to Marketplace

Starting a new project from a saved template:

1. Go to Marketplace in the sidebar
2. Select a template
3. Click "Use This Template" → choose a folder → enter project name
4. Forge creates the project, imports all config, and opens a new session

You can also build templates manually in the Marketplace editor — add files, organize folders, write Agent definitions and Skills, all from within Forge.

Built-in bridge to Feishu, Telegram, and Discord. No separate server to deploy — configure your bot token in Forge and start chatting.

Feishu:

1. Create an app on Feishu Open Platform
2. Enable im.message.receive_v1 event subscription (WebSocket mode)
3. Paste App ID and App Secret in Forge > IM Channels > Feishu

Telegram:

1. Create a bot via @BotFather
2. Paste the bot token in Forge > IM Channels > Telegram

Discord:

1. Create an application on Discord Developer Portal
2. Enable MESSAGE CONTENT privileged intent
3. Paste the bot token in Forge > IM Channels > Discord

Once connected, you can control Forge entirely from your messaging app:

The bridge supports two-way media:

• You → Agent: Send images for analysis, send files (PDF, code, documents) for processing
• Agent → You: Agent downloads or generates files and sends them back through IM automatically

Create recurring tasks visually — no cron expressions needed.

Type / in the chat input to see all available commands:

Skills, Agents, and MCP tools also appear in the autocomplete dropdown, grouped by category.

Download from the Releases page.

Forge is inspired by OpenClaw by Peter Steinberger. The workspace architecture, memory system, IM bridge, and heartbeat concepts draw from OpenClaw's pioneering design.
