Skills to build practical handbooks, improve working methods, and learn from experience.
IntentForge
A portfolio of tools to help you develop software with agents, from organizing project knowledge to guiding and coordinating their work.
IntentForge packages Trellis, Atlas, Intent, and Forge in one persistent Docker environment.

Install and instructions
IntentForge 0.2.5 is available on npm. With Node.js and local Docker on macOS or Linux, install the launcher:
npm install --global @neutral/intentforgeFollow setup to download the image and start each project with a new IntentForge environment. The image bundles Trellis as a plugin; its agent skills need no separate installation.
Setup instructionsHow they work together
Agents need working guidance they can reuse across tasks and conversations. Ask Trellis’s Shape Handbook skill to create or refine guidance for a selected area. Learn From Work proposes improvements from experience you choose; you decide which lessons to adopt.
A change may depend on decisions and sources outside the file being edited. Atlas develops that knowledge into explanations people and agents can navigate, from an overview to supporting detail.
An agent can understand the code and still miss the behavior a change is meant to preserve. Intent records the software’s expected behavior and constraints, with checks that help assess the result.
As agents make changes, developers need a way to steer the work and assess the result. Forge keeps each agent’s goal, working checklist, and saved progress together, so you can guide its work and inspect its changes.
You choose the guidance and context for each task and decide what to integrate after reviewing the changed code and verification results.
