Claude Code Governance Plugin
21 slash commands. 22 specialized agents. 29 knowledge skills. 6 governance hooks. Zero dependencies.
Run /[FRG]-status and see your project's health score in 30 seconds. Run /[FRG]-gap-analysis and find the missing tests, documentation gaps, and security risks nobody told you about. Run /[FRG]-feature "Add user authentication" and watch specialized agents decompose, build, and validate in sequence.
What Changes
Claude Code is capable out of the box. Its agents share orchestration and context within the environment. But capability without governance creates drift. There are no built-in health scores, no gap analysis, no quality gates that run before and after every task. You rely on manual review and memory.
The Forge Plugin adds judgment. Automated checks that catch problems before they reach production. Agents that know your project's conventions. Skills that encode best practices so you don't have to explain them every session.
How It Works
The plugin installs as markdown files and shell scripts that Claude Code reads directly. No compilation. No daemon. No runtime dependencies.
Governance hooks run automatically. Before every task, pre-task hooks validate that the work aligns with project constraints. After every task, post-task hooks check output quality. This happens without you triggering it. Governance becomes a background process, not a checklist item.
The 22 specialized agents handle distinct concerns. The builder writes production-ready code. The guardian runs quality checks. The planner designs architecture. The detective investigates issues. The security agent scans for vulnerabilities. Each agent has specific tools and constraints. They don't try to do everything.
The 29 knowledge skills encode architecture patterns, coding standards, testing strategy, git workflow, and domain knowledge. Skills provide context to agents without you having to explain your conventions every session.
Zero-Dependency Architecture
No Node.js. No Python. No Docker. No database. No daemon. The plugin requires nothing beyond Claude Code itself. It installs as files. Claude Code reads them directly. This is by design. The fastest path to adoption is removing every barrier between install and first value.
Part of a Graduated Platform
The plugin is Level 1 of Forge: governance for Claude Code as a standalone tool. When you start running multiple tools on the same repo and need shared state, file locking, and knowledge that follows you across tools, add the Forge Orchestrator (Level 2). For visual dashboards and the Infinity Terminal, add Forge UI (Level 3). Each level builds on the last. Nothing forces you to upgrade.
