The engineering acceleration platform for AI, DevOps, and full-stack teams.
Docs | Templates | CLI Reference | Blog | Contributing
ForgeKit eliminates the setup friction that costs engineering teams days of work before they write a single line of product code. One command scaffolds a fully wired, production-ready project, with the right stack, infrastructure, and tooling already connected.
Modern engineering teams waste too much time before they can ship:
- Fragmented toolchains, CI/CD, infrastructure, AI workflows, and frontend frameworks all need separate configuration
- Slow Day-1 onboarding, new projects and new teammates take hours to set up before they're productive
- Reinventing the wheel, the same scaffolding, Dockerfiles, and pipeline configs are written again and again
- Burnout from maintenance, keeping tooling up to date takes ~80% of platform team time
- Poor documentation, knowledge lives in people's heads, not the repo
ForgeKit solves all of this from a single CLI.

with:
template: web-app
name: my-appSee action/README.md for full usage, inputs, outputs, and matrix build examples.
ForgeKit is built as a modular 5-layer system:
Interface Layer → CLI / Web Dashboard / API Client
Application Layer → Workflow Engine / Task Orchestration
Service Layer → Scaffolding / AI / DevOps / Observability modules
Data Layer → Config storage / Execution logs / State
Infrastructure Layer → CI/CD / Deployment / Monitoring
See architecture.md for the full design.
ForgeKit is being built in focused milestones:
- Milestone 1 (current), CLI scaffolding engine + 3 starter templates
- Milestone 2, Web dashboard + AI-assisted workflows
- Milestone 3, Ephemeral dev environments (preview URLs per PR)
- Milestone 4, AI Knowledge Hub (codebase Q&A + plugin marketplace)
See ROADMAP.md for full details.
ForgeKit is built by engineers, for engineers. Contributions are welcome and encouraged.
