What it does

Turns a Large Language Model into a programmable autonomous agent that can run code, call APIs, and maintain state.

When to use it
  • •You need an LLM that can execute multi‑step workflows (e.g., fetch data, run a script, then summarize).
  • •You want to prototype a custom AI‑assistant without building the orchestration layer from scratch.
  • •You have existing TypeScript code or APIs you want the LLM to call directly.
Ready-to-paste prompt
echo "Create a launch checklist for a SaaS product targeting fintech, including legal, security, and marketing tasks" | npx trueforge run --config forge.yaml
Heads up: TrueForge requires a valid LLM API key (e.g., OPENAI_API_KEY) in the environment **and** Node.js ≥ 18; the agent will fail at start‑up if the key is missing or the Node version is older.
