About Forge Orchestrator
Forge is a governance layer for AI coding agents, built by NXTG.AI for use with Claude Code, Codex CLI and Gemini CLI. Rather than adding more agents or commands, it watches what the agents do: drift detection flags when an agent wanders away from the agreed specification, an auditing component examines tests that pass without actually proving anything, blocking security hooks stop dangerous operations before they run, and a shared memory store carries context across sessions and across tools.
The product is offered at three depths. The lightest is a plugin for Claude Code installed through the plugin marketplace, bringing four blocking guards against operations such as recursive deletion, environment file access, eval injection and SQL injection, 33 specialist agents covering building, planning, security, testing and review, 23 slash commands and 27 knowledge skills that load according to context. Deeper layers add an orchestrator and a user interface, with three MCP servers and thirteen security hooks. The site grounds its case in published research on insecure AI generated code and on developer productivity, and the core is written in Rust.
There is no price. The pricing page explicitly carries no figures for this product and states the license terms instead: the plugin is MIT licensed, while the orchestrator and interface are source available, with each release converting to the Apache 2.0 license two years after it ships. Sibling products from the same company publish their own pricing separately.
One caveat is stated plainly by the vendor. Forge is marked as internal stage software, built for and used inside NXTG, public in source but not yet offered or supported for outside use, with no service level agreement and interfaces that may change without notice.
