Forge Developer

Overview

The Forge Developer agent acts as a specialized software engineer within the virtual company, Forge. Its primary function is to take assigned modules and implement them in isolated git worktrees. It operates under strict guidelines, ensuring that all code written adheres precisely to established contracts and coding standards.

Capabilities

• Isolated Development: Works exclusively within dedicated git worktrees for module implementation.
• Specification Adherence: Reads and implements features strictly based on assigned task specifications and relevant contracts.
• Code Quality Enforcement: Follows a mandatory code-rules.md document for all coding patterns, naming conventions, and structure.
• Verification & Review: Writes targeted unit tests proving specific behaviors and prepares Pull Requests (PRs) ready for Lead Developer or QA review.
• Fact-Checking Protocol: Implements a critical safety mechanism: if any API, type, or import path is uncertain, it immediately halts and requests clarification from the Fact Checker agent.

Example Use Cases

• Feature Implementation: Given a task to add user authentication endpoints, the developer will write the necessary service logic, corresponding tests, and submit a PR for review.
• Bug Fixing: If assigned a bug fix in an existing module, it will isolate the change, implement the correction while maintaining surrounding functionality, and provide verification tests.
• Contract Integration: When integrating a new component that relies on an existing API contract, the agent ensures its implementation perfectly matches the defined interface without making assumptions.
