Slash Commands
All 24 slash commands provided by the forge-plugin, available inside Claude Code after installing the plugin.
stage: alphaThe Forge plugin and orchestrator are in alpha. On 2026-10-15 (UTC) a separate NXTG.ai team (product-oracle) ran the pre-registered core-job test on a clean install of the plugin (v3.14.0) and the orchestrator (forge 1.7.0). The test passed; each repeated check passed 3 of 3 (run 7). The evidence is attached to the forge-plugin v3.14.0 release. No SLA; interfaces may change without notice. The plugin is open source (MIT) and the orchestrator is source-available (FSL-1.1).
All 24 slash commands provided by the forge-plugin. These are available inside Claude Code after installing the plugin.
Governance
| Command | Description |
|---|
/nxtg-forge:status | Display complete project state — health score, git status, test results, security scan. Zero-context-friendly (safe to run at any point). |
/nxtg-forge:status-enhanced | Enhanced status with detailed dashboard and metrics. Includes dependency analysis, code quality trends, and workstream breakdown. |
/nxtg-forge:gap-analysis | Analyze project gaps across 5 dimensions: testing, docs, security, architecture, and performance. Returns prioritized remediation plan. |
/nxtg-forge:compliance | Scan tech stack, check license compatibility, and generate SBOM (Software Bill of Materials). Covers OWASP, dependency licenses, and regulatory requirements. |
/nxtg-forge:command-center | Activate the orchestrator command center — connects to forge-orchestrator MCP tools for task management, knowledge queries, and drift detection. Requires L2. |
Feature Development
| Command | Description |
|---|
/nxtg-forge:feature "description" | Add a new feature with full agent orchestration. Spawns planner → builder → tester → security reviewer. Pass a description of what you want to build. |
/nxtg-forge:spec "description" | Generate a technical specification for a feature. Produces architecture, data flow, API contracts, and test strategy. |
/nxtg-forge:agent-assign | Assign tasks to specialized agents. Routes work to the right agent based on task type (security, testing, performance, etc.). |
/nxtg-forge:integrate | Set up third-party service integrations. Guides through API key setup, SDK installation, and connection validation. |
Quality & Testing
| Command | Description |
|---|
/nxtg-forge:test | Execute project tests with detailed analysis. Auto-detects test runner (vitest, jest, pytest, cargo test). Reports failures, coverage, and trends. |
/nxtg-forge:deploy | Deploy with pre-flight validation and safety checks. Runs quality gates, confirms branch state, and validates environment before deployment. |
/nxtg-forge:optimize | Analyze and optimize codebase for performance and maintainability. Covers bundle size, dependency weight, hot paths, and code complexity. |
/nxtg-forge:task | Begin, inspect, relax or end an enforced Forge task: a test-file write guard plus a Stop gate on the project's own test command. Subcommands: begin, status, tests, implement, abort. |
State Management
| Command | Description |
|---|
/nxtg-forge:checkpoint | Save a restorable project state checkpoint. Captures governance state, git status, and test results. Use before risky changes. |
/nxtg-forge:restore | Restore project state from a previously saved checkpoint. Rolls back governance state (does not roll back git changes). |
/nxtg-forge:report | Display comprehensive session activity report. Shows what was accomplished, what changed, and what's pending. |
Documentation
| Command | Description |
|---|
/nxtg-forge:docs-status | Show documentation health and coverage. Reports which areas have docs, which are missing, and staleness indicators. |
/nxtg-forge:docs-update | Update stale documentation based on code changes. Identifies docs that reference outdated code and suggests updates. |
/nxtg-forge:docs-audit | Comprehensive documentation quality audit. Checks completeness, accuracy, and consistency across all doc files. |
Setup & Maintenance
| Command | Description |
|---|
/nxtg-forge:init | Initialize Forge in a project — 60-second setup wizard. Creates governance hooks, detects project stack, and configures quality baselines. |
/nxtg-forge:dashboard | Open the Forge governance dashboard in your browser. Requires forge-ui (L3) to be running on port 5050. |
/nxtg-forge:update | Update Forge to the latest version. |
CEO Decision Loop
| Command | Description |
|---|
/nxtg-forge:ceo-loop [max-iterations] [time-limit] | Activate the CEO Decision Loop in ORBIT mode. Continuous multi-iteration governance cycle: OBSERVE pending decisions → REASON with precedent → BUILD decisions → INSPECT retrograde → TURN for next iteration. |
/nxtg-forge:ceo-loop-cancel | Cancel the active CEO Decision Loop gracefully. Sets the loop to inactive, writes a final summary, and preserves all decisions in the journal. |
Usage Tips
- Start with
/nxtg-forge:status — it's the fastest way to understand any project's state
- Use
/nxtg-forge:gap-analysis after major changes — catches regressions across all 5 dimensions
- Save checkpoints before risky changes —
/nxtg-forge:checkpoint then /nxtg-forge:restore if things go wrong
- Commands work without L2 — all slash commands function with just the plugin installed. L2 (orchestrator) adds task management and knowledge features but is not required.
