Summary

  • Why CodeForge? — Explains the project's origins as a Claude Code power user's personal setup, shared publicly. Covers both the setup complexity and consistency gaps it solves.
  • Architecture overview — Three-layer ASCII diagram (DevContainer → CodeForge Layer → Claude Code) with brief descriptions and link to the full architecture reference on the docs site.
  • Configuration summary — Table of key config files showing what each configures, with link to the documentation site for the complete guide.

All three sections were identified as gaps in the repo quality audit (REPO-AUDIT.md).

Test plan

  • README renders correctly on GitHub (badges, diagram, table)
  • Architecture diagram displays properly in code block
  • Configuration table is properly formatted
  • Links resolve: Architecture Reference, documentation site
  • Changelog entry present under ## [Unreleased]

Summary by CodeRabbit

Poem

🐰
In quiet branches words took root and grew,
A README sprouted, clear and new.
Three layers sketched with tidy care,
Configs listed, found right there—
Hop, read, and build with joy anew. 🥕

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 100-103: Update the DevContainer feature count to match the
documented list by changing the phrase "22 custom features" in the
"DevContainer" paragraph to "21 custom features"; verify the "Custom Features
(21)" section header and any other occurrences of the custom features count
(search for "22 custom features" and "Custom Features (21)") so all counts are
consistent across the README.
- Around line 87-98: The fenced ASCII-art block in README.md lacks a language
hint causing MD040; update the triple-backtick fence for the block that contains
the Claude Code/CodeForge/DevContainer diagram to include a language identifier
(for example "text") so the fence becomes ```text, preserving the existing ASCII
content inside; locate the README.md fenced block that starts with the box
drawing and add the language hint to the opening fence.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Add a language hint to the architecture code fence (MD040).

Markdown lint is correct here: the fenced block should declare a language for consistency/tooling compatibility.

**DevContainer** — The foundation. A Python 3.14 container with Node.js, Rust, and Bun runtimes, plus 22 custom features that install development tools (ast-grep, tree-sitter, biome, ruff, and others).

**CodeForge Layer** — The intelligence. 13 plugins register hooks that validate commands, inject context, and enforce safety. 17 agents provide specialized personas. 35 skills offer on-demand reference material. System prompts and rules shape behavior.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Feature count is inconsistent in this section.

Line 100 says “22 custom features”, but the README’s own “Custom Features (21)” section lists 21. Please align this count to avoid reader confusion.
