Forgecode is an AI agent orchestrator, shell integration tool, and terminal-based pair programmer. It enables the deployment of specialized AI roles for research, planning, and implementation, while providing a semantic code search tool to index project files for meaning-based retrieval.
The system integrates as a Model Context Protocol client to extend AI capabilities via external servers and supports multi-provider model orchestration to switch between different large language model APIs. It transforms natural language into functional shell commands and allows for the execution of AI prompts directly from the terminal interface.
The platform includes capabilities for session persistence, AI command benchmarking with regex-based validation, and the definition of reusable workflows using markdown files. It also provides tools for monitoring the monetary cost of AI requests and configuring agent behaviors through project-local settings.
