The Forge — Tools
ClaudeForge Studio — a Claude Code GUI for Windows
Software I build. The professional desktop workstation for Claude Code: stop editing JSON, start shipping skills. One native Windows window for the whole Claude Code ecosystem — skills, MCP servers, permissions, hooks and subagents.
What it does
Generate skills with AI
Describe a skill in plain English; the latest Claude Opus writes a complete, production-ready skill file in 10–20 seconds — frontmatter, instructions, trigger keywords. 20 templates, batch queueing, attachments to 10 MB.
Manage every config visually
MCP servers, permissions, hooks, files, keybindings — atomic writes, validation, no JSON editing. 37 pre-configured MCP servers in the catalog.
Simulate before you ship
Type a prompt, see which skills trigger and why, then stream Claude's live response. Adaptive thinking, server-side tools, structured JSON output with schema validation.
Design subagent pipelines
Visual topology editor, workflow chaining, delegation-skill generation. Multi-agent coordination without writing orchestration code.
Track real costs
Usage dashboard, per-project breakdown, and monthly projections for Opus / Sonnet / Haiku, plus a context-budget advisor.
Coach sidebar
A context-aware assistant that knows which tab you're on. Selectable model (Haiku / Sonnet / Opus), per-tab history, prompt caching.
