Stop shipping features your AI agent invented. A Claude Code plugin that wraps your agentic-coding loop with three filters: Devil's Advocate before every plan, mandatory 10% scope kill, drift checks every 5 features. Built on the Ralph Loop.
Run a full cycle end-to-end. Auto-routes to Founder mode (SCOUT → INTERROGATE → SYNTHESIZE → TEST) or PM mode (HARVEST → SHAPE → BUILD → SHIP) based on which state files exist in the project.
Standalone Devil's Advocate. Paste any plan, pitch, PRD, or thesis and the agent runs 8 attack vectors (cherry-picking, false champion, cope moat, TAM mirage, weak wedge, timeline cope, replicability, distribution) plus pre-mortem and returns a kill report.
Founder mode — check graduation against 12 criteria. If ready, hand off THESIS.md to PM-mode IDENTITY.md (WHO/JOB/NEVER), seed initial features and signals, write the Graduation Brief.
One-screen orientation to Forge — modes, commands, state files, the three filters. Run this first if you're confused about where to start, what /init does, or which command applies to your situation. Also use to remind yourself of the command index without leaving Claude Code.
Scaffold Forge state files into the user's project for the first time. Welcomes new users with a plain-English mode question (no methodology jargon), copies templates non-destructively, pre-fills IDENTITY/THESIS where possible, and routes to the next command. Defaults to Founder mode for empty directories, PM mode…
Founder mode — generate interview protocol, analyze transcripts, and run a mandatory Devil's Advocate falsification pass. Outputs interview summaries with JTBD forces, evidence-weighted entries, and an existential-risk audit.
Founder mode — run market scout. Parallel community mining across Reddit, G2, Hacker News, ProductHunt, Crunchbase using the 7-signal framework. Updates landscape.md, hypotheses.json, evidence.json.
PM mode — propose a release plan with thesis, feature candidates (signalid + requestedby), debt paydown (15%), kill list (≥10% via the 10% Delete Rule), autonomy tiers (T1/T2/T3), Devil's Advocate findings, and stabilization check. The hero command — produces the screenshottable release plan card.
PM mode — close the release. Validate contracts, refresh architecture.md, log release in releases.json with metrics + quality scores, check stabilization triggers for next cycle, present release report.
Show current Forge phase and a one-screen state snapshot. Mode (Founder / PM), current phase, recent feature quality, signals harvested, stabilization triggers, drift report status.
Founder mode — integrate cycle evidence, score thesis confidence on the 1–5 rubric with hard caps, flag unsupported claims, log Evolution Log entry, identify gaps for next cycle.
Run the Devil's Advocate against a built-in fake plan — the 30-second magic moment for first-time Forge users. Zero setup required, no state files needed. Triggers on "try forge", "demo forge", "show me what this does", "see Forge in action", or just after install when the user wants to see what the plugin does…
