ForgeOpen
The self-improvement scaffold we use internally — now on GitHub.
Every Claude Code install we ship to a client gets smarter overnight. The scaffold that makes that happen is MIT-licensed and drops into any setup in under ten minutes.
What it does
Nightly self-review
A cron runs at 3am that rereads the day’s transcripts, extracts what you corrected, and writes those corrections back into CLAUDE.md.
Skill catalog hygiene
Stale skills get flagged, naming collisions get surfaced, and dormant memory rows get pruned before they rot.
Memory index
MEMORY.md auto-condensed to one-line pointers with topic files underneath — no more 10k-token memory dumps.
Drops in under 10 minutes
One-command install on macOS or Windows. Works alongside your existing setup — delete it with `rm -rf` if you hate it.
Clone it if
- →You run a non-trivial Claude Code or Cursor install and you have noticed CLAUDE.md is starting to rot.
- →You are a consultant shipping Claude Code to clients and you need each install to improve over time, not drift.
- →You are a researcher or builder and you want to fork this into something weirder and better.
Skip it if
- ×You are looking for a drop-in AI product. This is plumbing, not product.
- ×You are married to a different memory/skill system and don’t want another one.

Quick start
- 1
Clone the repo.
git clone https://github.com/PerryB-GIT/forgeopen - 2
Run the installer.
One command for macOS, one for Windows. The installer wires the scaffold into your existing
~/.claudedirectory — non-destructive. - 3
Wake up smarter tomorrow.
The nightly cron does the rest. If you hate it:
rm -rf ~/.claude/forgeopenand you're back where you started.
