Overview
What is Forge?
Forge is a spec-first software factory for the AI-native enterprise. Whether you start from a napkin sketch or a legacy codebase, Forge turns it into governed, production-ready output: roles stay aligned, decisions stay traced, and the thread runs from first word to final commit.
A sharp idea often becomes a Jira ticket written by someone who was not in the room. By the time it reaches a developer, context and intent are gone. Forge fixes the context layer first with a spec-first, agent-guarded, human-approved pipeline.

From intent to delivery — each stage is generated, reviewed, and approved before the next runs.

App Context
Human approval gates every handoff — nothing ships without review.
| Stage | What it is |
|---|---|
| Intent | The verified what we mean that anchors all downstream artifacts. |
| BRD | Business requirements, stakeholders, and business rules. |
| PRD | Product depth: user stories, metrics, contracts, and constraints. |
| Architecture | Options, trade-offs, and the selected target design. |
| User Stories | Sprint-ready tasks with dependencies and acceptance criteria. |
| App Context | Published snapshot for ALM and delivery in Application Context. |
New Build
Describe what you want to build in plain language. Forge produces the BRD and PRD stack, architecture, and sprint-ready user stories, then feeds that context to your AI coding tools so implementation tracks the approved spec.
Modernization
Point Forge at your repository. It reverse-engineers monoliths, surfaces working context, scores engineering health with ForgeScore, and delivers a modernization blueprint your team can execute.
Personas
Who uses Forge?
J
Johanna
Product Owner
Johanna describes a customer dashboard in plain English and attaches a feedback PDF. Before the standup ends, Forge has surfaced personas, feature mapping, gaps, and a full PRD.
Outcome: A reviewed, versioned PRD with user stories, success metrics, and API contracts ready for architecture in minutes.
M
Marcus
Principal Architect
Marcus opens Architecture and compares three options generated from the approved spec. Each option includes rationale: why this database, why this integration pattern.
Outcome: Honest trade-off analysis. He picks one, edits a component, and Forge cascades updates to dependent artifacts in real time.
E
Elena
Scrum Master
In User Stories, Elena sees sprint-ready tasks with acceptance criteria, dependencies, and priorities. One sync pushes work to Jira while status flows back as the team ships.
Outcome: No copy-paste between planning tools and execution.
J
Jordan
Compliance Officer
Policies land where specs are written - API standards, audit logging, and data handling - before anyone commits code.
Outcome: Compliance and threat thinking upstream, not surprises in production.
J
John
Senior Engineer
John connects an MCP-capable IDE and pulls user stories into the editor with intent, constraints, and acceptance criteria instead of bare ticket IDs.
Outcome: The coding agent works from the same context John does, and delivery stays tied to user stories and commits.
How responsibility flows
Forge tailors artifacts to each persona; work passes through the roles that own intent, design, delivery, risk, and operations.
