agentsbuild.it · the CodeForge suite

The definitive governance for agentic software development.

CodeForge is the suite that drives and orchestrates your battery of AI agents through one guided workflow — from idea to delivery, across design, refine, implement, test, package and deploy. Every implementation request becomes verifiable work on Jira, with I/O criteria and a quality gate on each step.

The problem

Agents without an orchestra.

Misaligned AI sessions and tickets, improvised prompts, no definition of input/output per phase. Quality control and baseline are missing. Generated code has no decision lineage: you don't know what a given agent produced, under which criteria, or what state it reached.

Ad hoc prompts

Every session starts from scratch. No standard for agent role or phase.

Undefined I/O

It's unclear what an agent should read, what it should write, when it's done.

No lineage

Decisions and findings aren't tracked. QC and baseline simply don't exist.

The thesis

Jira as the central
orchestrator.

CodeForge uses Jira to sequence the whole lifecycle, standardize prompts per agent role, and turn every implementation request into a task — or an Epic / Story / Task chain — with customizable states and boards. You refine studies and drafts, and the Solution Architect owns the quality gate while agents do the work.

    Idea & Discover

    Agents explore the domain and build the workspace: domains, capabilities and use cases.

    options · trade-offs

    Design & study

    Solution studies compare options and record the decision as a verifiable lineage point.

    Refine

    Iterate and sharpen solution studies, implementation requests and Epic / Story / Task drafts.

    Implement

    CodeForge drives Claude Code agents. Every request is a tracked Jira task with I/O criteria.

  5. 5
    Gherkin · BDD gate

    Test

    Behavior-driven scenarios in Gherkin become the executable quality gate on each step before it advances.

    Package

    Build and package the verified output — artifacts and pull requests, certified against state.

    Deploy

    Cloud direct deployment with Terraform and other IaC tools, wired to Git and CD.

Who it's for

Map and govern,
not write the code.

This is for the people who design and govern the flow: Solution Architects, Product Designers and technical Product Owners, engineering leads who need to control agents — not just launch them. Developers execute, but you define the path.

Every request is trackable work

Not a chat thread, but a Jira task with state, criteria and decision lineage.

Refine drafts, gate with BDD

Sharpen studies, IRs and Epic / Story / Task drafts; acceptance criteria run as Gherkin scenarios.

Custom boards and states

Real-time control and QC of agentic development across jobs, findings and Jira states.

The suite

CodeForge — the suite
that drives your agents.

The power of Claude Code agents is at its best when it's guided. CodeForge is the suite around them: the orchestration workflow, the domain knowledge of the cognitive workspace, behavior-driven quality gates and cloud delivery — so generation never happens in the dark, from idea to production.

a

Orchestration workflow

A catalog of commands and sequential flows, async jobs, states and preconditions.

b

BDD quality gates

Acceptance criteria written as Gherkin scenarios become the executable gate on every step.

c

Cloud delivery

Direct deployment with Terraform and other IaC tools, tracked and certified on Jira.

“Claude Code executes; CodeForge and Jira decide the path, gate the quality and certify the state.”
Baseline & governance

Measure to govern.

CodeForge stores and compares historical metrics — agent cost ledger, jobs, findings, BDD gate pass rate, IaC deploys and cycle time where the data exists — to continuously establish and validate the development baseline. No vanity metrics: honest data to keep stability and governance over the lifecycle of generated code.

From study to agentic
delivery — under control.

A governed workflow that turns Claude Code into accountable delivery — orchestrated on Jira, gated by behavior-driven acceptance criteria, and traced through version-controlled pipelines and IaC-based cloud delivery. From study to production, every decision auditable and every step certified.
