Quickstart

Create a free account

Go to app.forgein.ai/signup and sign up. No credit card required. The free plan includes Work context, all 7 adapters, and 3 memory projects.

Once logged in, create an API token — you'll need it in step 3.

https://app.forgein.ai/tokens → New token → name it "cli"

Install the forgein CLI

One command installs the /forgein slash command into Claude Code:

curl -fsSL https://app.forgein.ai/cli/install | bash

This writes ~/.claude/commands/forgein.md — the skill file Claude Code uses to run /forgein. No PATH changes, no config files.

Authenticate the CLI

Open Claude Code (any project) and run:

/forgein auth

Paste the API token you created in step 1 when prompted. The CLI stores it at ~/.config/forgein/token.

Add your first memory file

Memory files are Markdown files in ~/.forgein/work/ (or synced from a repo). Start simple:

cat > ~/.forgein/work/stack.md << 'EOF'
# Tech stack

- Language: TypeScript / Node.js
- Framework: Next.js 15 App Router
- Database: Postgres + Drizzle ORM
- AI: Claude Code + forgein context
EOF

You can also write memory files from the dashboard at app.forgein.ai/memory.

Sync to cloud

Push your local memory files to the forgein cloud so they're available to all adapters:

/forgein mem sync

This uploads your memory files and makes them available to all 7 adapters — Claude Code, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini, and MCP. Run it any time you update your memories.

Verify it's working

Still in Claude Code, run:

/forgein who

You'll see a summary of what Claude currently knows about you — the files loaded, the active context, and the last sync time. If your stack file from step 4 is listed, you're done.
