Code Build Engine.

Multi-agent pipelines for software development. From specification to tested, documented, deployment-ready code.

Overview

The Code Build Engine is Forge's first domain pack — a multi-agent pipeline specialised for software development. It takes structured specifications and coordinates AI agents across architecture, implementation, testing, and documentation to produce validated, deployment-ready code.

Give it a specification — requirements, architecture constraints, tech stack, quality standards. The Engine coordinates specialised agents to produce working code: modules, APIs, tests, documentation — validated against your coding standards and packaged for your deployment pipeline. Every artifact is traceable. Every output carries a validation report.

What goes in

Requirements Spec

Functional requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, system constraints.

Architecture Constraints

Tech stack, design patterns, integration points, scalability requirements.

Quality Standards

Coding standards, test coverage targets, security requirements, performance benchmarks.

Reference Materials

Existing codebase context, API contracts, database schemas, design system tokens.

Templates & Conventions

Project structure, naming conventions, documentation formats, commit standards.

Validation Rules

Linting rules, type safety requirements, security scanning policies, deployment checks.
The pipeline

The Code Engine follows a five-stage multi-agent pipeline. Each stage uses specialised agents that produce validated artifacts feeding into the next.

Parse

Ingest specification. Validate requirements. Extract constraints, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.

↓

Architect

Design system architecture. Define module boundaries. Plan data models, API contracts, and integration points.

↓

Implement

Generate code modules, API endpoints, database migrations, configuration, and integration logic.

Validate

Run tests, lint checks, type validation, security scans. Generate validation reports for every artifact.

↓

Package

Bundle into deployment-ready packages with documentation, test suites, and validation certificates.

What comes out

Source Code

Production-ready modules, services, and components following your coding standards and architecture patterns.

Test Suites

Unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests with coverage reports meeting your targets.

API Documentation

OpenAPI specs, endpoint documentation, request/response examples, authentication guides.

Database Migrations

Schema definitions, migration scripts, seed data, and rollback procedures.

Deployment Config

Docker configurations, CI/CD pipeline definitions, environment templates, infrastructure as code.

Validation Reports

Per-artifact validation certificates, test results, coverage metrics, security scan findings.

Run Traces

Full execution logs. Input specification. Agents used. Validation gates passed.

Audit Log

Complete traceability. When generated. By which pipeline. All dependencies mapped.
Real world

SaaS Platform Build

A startup needs to build a multi-tenant SaaS platform with user management, billing integration, and a REST API. The traditional approach: 3-4 developers, 8-12 weeks of build, manual code review cycles, documentation written as an afterthought.

With the Code Engine: A technical lead defines the specification — requirements, architecture constraints, quality standards. The Engine coordinates AI agents across architecture design, code generation, test writing, and documentation. Timeline compressed. Every module validated. Every artifact traceable.

Every component is traceable. Every output carries a validation report. If a module fails testing, Forge regenerates just that component with the test failures as context. No full rework. No manual debugging.

Early pilot

The Code Build Engine is available for early pilot. We're working with development teams building AI-powered software pipelines who need validation, traceability, and reproducibility. If you're scaling your development capacity with AI and need production-grade workflows — let's talk.
