ForgeCode Services
ForgeCode Services is the runtime layer that helps the model stay on trajectory while it explores, edits, and executes tools.
What it does
These are the most visible capabilities, not the full feature set.
- Context engine: Beats SOTA across retrieval benchmarks, uses up to 93% fewer tokens, and stays fast while starting the agent in the most relevant files and functions.
- Tool-call guardrails: Catches invalid arguments, common tool-call mistakes, then auto-corrects them before they fail.
- Skill engine: Assists the model in choosing the right skill for the job, so task-specific guidance is applied at the right time.
There is nothing to configure here. After you enable it, it keeps running in the background.
Enable ForgeCode Services
Run:
:login
Then select ForgeServices in the provider list and complete browser authentication.
No API key required — sign in with Google or GitHub.
Enable semantic sync for your project
Run:
:sync
This indexes your project and enables sem_search.
To monitor indexing progress and see which files are being synced, run:
:sync-status
Ignoring files
Files can be ignored using Ignoring Files.
If a file is ignored, ForgeCode Services excludes it from sync, and the context engine cannot use that file for retrieval.
Verify services are active
Run:
:tools
Look for sem_search under SYSTEM.
Disable ForgeCode Services
Run:
:logout
This signs you out and disables ForgeCode Services.
To enable again later, run :login, select ForgeServices, then run :sync for the project you want indexed.
