Non-Goals
- Replacing Claude Code itself
- Directly managing code implementation beyond configuration and behavior.
- Providing AI models or core LLM functionalities.
Practices
- Code quality
- Security
- Configuration management
- Workflow automation
- Best practices
- Auditability
Prerequisites
- Claude Code CLI
- bash (macOS, Linux, WSL)

Audits the Claude Code configuration of a project against the dotforge template. Generates a report with score and gaps.
Compare Claude Code output with full config vs minimal config using standardized tasks per stack.
Initializes the Claude Code configuration in a new or existing project using the dotforge template.
Captures an insight or practice discovered during work and registers it in the dotforge practices/inbox.
Shows what changed in dotforge since the project's last sync, to decide whether running /forge sync is worthwhile.
Extract domain knowledge from existing project sources and generate domain rules. Also handles vault sync and domain listing.
Export dotforge configuration to other AI code editors (Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, OpenClaw).
Manage dotforge v3 behavior governance — view status, toggle behaviors, adjust strictness. Use when the user asks about active behaviors, wants to disable one for the current session, or adjust escalation thresholds.
Quick-start Claude Code configuration. Auto-detects stack, asks 4 questions to understand the project, generates complete config.
Scan project code to detect patterns, dependencies, and conventions. Propose domain rules based on what the code actually does.
Install an MCP server template from dotforge into a project or global Claude Code config with a single command.
Generate a Claude Code plugin package from the current project's dotforge configuration, ready for marketplace submission.
Restore a project's .claude/ directory to the dotforge template from scratch, with backup and rollback option.
Analyze which rules are actively used vs inert. Detect coverage gaps. Recommend pruning to reduce token consumption.
Fetch .claude/ configs from curated repos in sources.yml, compare against dotforge template, report novel patterns.
Analyze past Claude Code sessions to extract patterns, metrics, and recommendations.
Update an existing project's Claude Code configuration against the current dotforge template, without losing local customizations.
Process the practices inbox, evaluate, incorporate into dotforge, and suggest propagation to projects.
Fetch official Anthropic/Claude Code docs, detect changes relevant to dotforge, report deltas.
