ForgeCAD Public Kit

Public examples, agent skills, docs links, and issue tracking for ForgeCAD.

ForgeCAD is code-first parametric CAD for JavaScript/TypeScript: a normal .forge.js file becomes a live model with parameters, assemblies, validation, renders, inspections, and exports.

This repository is the public companion kit. It is intentionally focused on assets people can use directly: example models, installable agent skills, public issues, docs links, and historical benchmark artifacts.

TypeScript is the file format. The browser is the CAD system.

Get Started

Install the CLI:

npm install -g forgecad

Start from the hosted starter project:

forgecad login
forgecad project clone start-here
cd start-here
forgecad studio .

forgecad login guides you through email/password or API-token sign-in. Choose API token for GitHub/Google accounts.

A ForgeCAD project is a dedicated local folder linked to the hosted app by forgecad.json. Use forgecad project clone <slug> to download an existing project, or run forgecad project init inside a folder you want to make into a new ForgeCAD project.

Create a new project locally:

mkdir spool-adapter
cd spool-adapter
forgecad project init "Spool Adapter" --visibility private
forgecad new adapter --template part
forgecad studio .

Do not point forgecad studio at your home directory, downloads folder, desktop, or a huge source tree. It requires an explicit project path; use . for the current project folder.

Explore the public examples locally:

git clone https://github.com/KoStard/forgecad-public-kit.git
cd forgecad-public-kit
forgecad studio examples
forgecad run examples/products/cup.forge.js
forgecad render 3d examples/products/cup.forge.js

Open more than one local project at once:

forgecad studio examples path/to/another-project

Keep one long-running forgecad studio [project-path ...] process open with every active project folder listed in its arguments; the user opens the single printed localhost port once, and AI agents should only create or edit files under those folders so the browser updates live without starting more servers.
