AI ForgeKit

A production-grade Claude Code environment for Unreal Engine 5 projects. Drop it into any UE5+ project and get an AI-assisted development workflow with orchestrated agents, persistent wikis, and automated build pipelines.

AI ForgeKit is coming soon on GitHub. Free and open source under the MIT license.

What it is#

AI ForgeKit is a configuration layer for Claude Code that makes it effective at Unreal Engine game development. It is not a plugin or an editor tool. It is a set of rules, agents, and skills that live in your project alongside your source code, in .claude/ and Docs/.

Claude Code is a capable general-purpose coding assistant. AI ForgeKit adds the domain knowledge and workflow structure that UE5 C++ development requires: understanding of UBT, UHT, reflection macros, GAS, replication patterns, and the dual design/code documentation model.

Who it is for#

• UE5 C++ developers who want AI assistance that understands Unreal idioms
• Solo developers and small teams who want AI to handle boilerplate, review, and documentation without constant hand-holding
• Projects using Git or Perforce: ForgeKit auto-detects and adapts to either

What is included#

Skills (slash commands)#

Command	Purpose
/setup	Configure project: discovers engine path, VCS, GAS, plugins
/build	Compile the project and parse UBT output
/review	Review code changes using a game dev quality rubric
/map-codebase	Scan Source/ and populate the Dev wiki
/map-design	Discover game design data and populate the Design wiki
/state-save	Save session progress across conversation clears
/state-load	Restore session context at the start of a new session
/validate	Self-validating loop: spawns parallel agents to verify work
/remember	Store a quick note in working memory
/recall	Search across all wiki and memory layers
/health-check	Validate environment integrity
/update	Analyze friction logs and propose environment improvements

Specialized agents#

Each agent has a tuned role and restricted tool access: debugger, explorer, implementer, planner, performance analyst, researcher, and reviewer. The orchestrator routes your request to the right agent automatically.

Rules#

Rule files cover: orchestrator routing, autonomy boundaries, VCS discipline, build conventions, testing, C++ patterns, Blueprint constraints, context management, self-learning, and error handling.

Official plugins#

ForgeKit installs three official Anthropic plugins during /setup:

Plugin	Purpose
skill-creator	Build and package custom skills for your project
clangd-lsp	C++ code intelligence: completions, go-to-definition, diagnostics
pr-review-toolkit	Structured pull request review using the game dev rubric

Bundled skills#

Three additional skills ship with ForgeKit for common day-to-day tasks:

Command	Purpose
/simplify	Reduce complexity in a class or function while preserving behavior
/batch	Apply a repeated change across multiple files in one pass
/debug	Focused debugging session with structured hypothesis tracking

Dual wiki system#

Two persistent wikis live in Docs/ alongside your source code:

• Design wiki (Docs/Design/): game design categories discovered from your project content by /map-design and maintained by hand between sessions.
• Dev wiki (Docs/Dev/): C++ classes, systems, module map. Populated by /map-codebase from your actual source tree.

The wikis persist across conversation clears, grounding the AI in your project rather than generic UE5 knowledge.

Works with any UE5 project#

AI ForgeKit has no hard dependencies on any specific plugin or project structure. It works with any UE5 project that has a Source/ directory and a .uproject file. The /setup wizard discovers what your project has and configures itself accordingly.

Projects using the Blueprint AI Assistant plugin get additional capability: the AI can read and modify Blueprint assets directly, not just C++ code. See Using with Blueprint AI Assistant for details.

Getting started#

1. Install AI ForgeKit: clone and copy files into your project
2. Run /setup: auto-configure for your engine and VCS
3. Run /map-codebase to populate the Dev wiki with your actual class data
4. Describe a feature, report a bug, or ask a question
