INSTALL

Step 1 of 3

Install — a toolbox opening with glowing developer tools

Welcome, builder. Before you can forge, you need the tools. Node.js 18 or later, and Claude Code installed and authenticated. That's it. Let's get you set up.

PREREQUISITES

  • Node.js 18+ — Check with node --version
  • Claude Code — Anthropic's CLI tool. Install and authenticate before proceeding.
  • Git — Required for Scaffold and Core tiers.

THE THREE TIERS

FULL TIER

The complete forge — Merlin's setup wizard, Strange's deploy wizard, AWS provisioners, encrypted credential vault, Telegram bridge, and all 170+ agents ready to build.

$ git clone https://github.com/tmcleod3/voidforge.git my-project && cd my-project && npm install

SCAFFOLD TIER

Methodology only — CLAUDE.md, commands, methods, patterns, and the Holocron. Clone it, add your PRD, and run /build.

$ git clone --branch scaffold https://github.com/tmcleod3/voidforge.git my-project

CORE TIER

Ultra-light — CLAUDE.md, commands, methods, patterns, naming registry. Point Claude Code at the branch to absorb the methodology.

$ git clone --branch core https://github.com/tmcleod3/voidforge.git my-project
