## What forge-skills does, in the publisher's words

Atlassian Forge lets you build and deploy apps directly on the Atlassian platform, issue panels, Confluence macros, dashboard gadgets, and more. The Forge Skills Plugin bundles several Forge-focused skills plus MCP-backed tooling so your agent can scaffold apps, review them before deploy, debug production issues, and stay current on Forge APIs and the Atlassian Design System.

The plugin ships multiple skills under skills/, each with a SKILL.md the host can load:

Forge App Builder (skills/forge-app-builder/) guides scaffolding through production: forge create, dev spaces and templates, deploy and install, module selection, cross-product scopes, and common CLI or permission issues.

- An Atlassian account
- Node.js 22+ (node -v): required for Forge CLI and app builds
