About ForgeCode
ForgeCode is a tool for working with AI coding agents during software development and engineering tasks. It runs in the ZSH terminal, where typing : opens interaction while existing aliases and Oh My Zsh plugins continue to work.
It allows combining different models in one session without restarting, uses separate sub-agents for research, planning and execution, and includes a context engine for navigating codebases. It connects to many LLM providers from the shell and is installed with a shell script and ZSH setup.
Key features
- Interact with AI agents in ZSH terminal using colon command
- Keep existing aliases and Oh My Zsh plugins working
- Mix different models in one session without restarting
- Use specialized sub-agents for research, planning, and execution
- Navigate large codebases with context engine
- Connect to hundreds of LLM providers from shell
Best for: Developers who work in the ZSH terminal and use multiple language models for coding tasks.
Good for
- Works alongside existing ZSH aliases and Oh My Zsh plugins
- Supports using different models in the same session without restarting
- Changes go through thousands of evaluations across tasks and models before release
