@garygentry/feature-forge

Cross-agent installer for the feature-forge skill suite — an end-to-end feature-development pipeline that runs on any coding agent (Claude, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Gemini, or Pi).

This package installs the canonical forge skills into the agents detected on your machine. It is dependency-free and performs sandboxed, manifest-tracked writes.

Usage

# Install into every detected agent:
npx @garygentry/feature-forge install

# Scope to one agent:
npx @garygentry/feature-forge install -a codex

# Preview the plan without writing anything:
npx @garygentry/feature-forge install --dry-run --json

Commands

Command	Description
install (add)	Install feature-forge into the target agent(s).
update	Reconcile an existing install to the current adapters.
uninstall (remove)	Remove a prior install (manifest-tracked files only).
list (ls)	Report per-agent detected / installed / up-to-date status.

Common flags

Flag	Description
-a, --agent <id>	Scope to one agent (claude/codex/copilot/cursor/gemini/pi).
-g, --global	Install into the user-level config dir (default: project-local).
--symlink	Symlink the bundle instead of copying (Windows always copies).
--dry-run	Print the planned actions without changing anything.
--json	Emit the run report as JSON.
--skip-rauf	Skip the rauf resolvability preflight (records raufPin: null).

Per-agent install layout

Each agent's bundle is installed where that agent actually loads it (project scope shown; --global resolves the same paths under ~):

Agent	Primary bundle	Second-root placement
claude	.claude/skills/feature-forge/	—
codex	.agents/skills/feature-forge/	.codex/agents/*.toml (custom agents, mirrored flat)
copilot	.github/feature-forge/	managed block in .github/copilot-instructions.md
cursor	.cursor/rules/feature-forge/	—
gemini	.gemini/extensions/feature-forge/	—
pi	.pi/skills/feature-forge/	—

For Pi, --global installs to ~/.pi/agent/skills/feature-forge/ and project scope installs to ./.pi/skills/feature-forge/. The Pi bundle includes real package.json metadata plus the AskUserQuestion compatibility extension; run /trust (or use --approve in non-interactive tests) before relying on project-local Pi resources.

The Copilot block is delimited by <!-- feature-forge:managed:start --> / <!-- feature-forge:managed:end --> sentinels and merged without disturbing the rest of the file. update refreshes it (a hand-edited block is left alone unless --force); uninstall strips only the block, deleting the file only if nothing else remains.

Claude

Claude Code users can alternatively install via the plugin marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add garygentry/feature-forge
/plugin install feature-forge@feature-forge

Notes

The default loop runner is rauf, published as @garygentry/rauf. The installer runs a read-only resolvability preflight on the pin (@garygentry/rauf@0.13.0) and records it; pass --skip-rauf to defer the check (e.g. offline installs). Install the rauf CLI itself with npx @garygentry/rauf or its binary script. See the feature-forge README for the full pipeline documentation and per-agent setup guides.

The installer never writes a forge.config.json — it deploys only the bundled skills and runtime helpers. Configuration authorship belongs to /feature-forge:forge-init, which creates the config and surfaces the auto-verify opt-in (whether to run forge-verify automatically after each stage) at setup time.
