Forge is Potpie’s specification driven development environment. Engineers define the desired outcome, constraints, and system boundaries before generation begins. Forge translates those specifications into implementation with full awareness of what already exists in the repository.

​
Specification first

Before generating anything, Forge asks for:
  • The desired outcome and scope
  • Constraints and invariants the implementation must satisfy
  • System boundaries and interface definitions
  • Failure modes and validation strategies
This shifts the work from writing code to reasoning about system behavior. Agents handle the implementation once the specification is locked.

​
Repository context

Forge reads the knowledge graph for established abstraction layers, dependency direction rules, naming conventions, shared domain models, and prior architectural decisions. When introducing new functionality, Forge:
  • Reuses existing abstractions
  • Avoids duplicating domain logic
  • Respects dependency boundaries
  • Aligns with current error handling and testing patterns
Forge generates code with full repository context, so it integrates cleanly.
