THE METHODOLOGY PATH

You know your stack. You have a plan. The forge executes.

You don't need the wizard's hand-holding. You know what you're building, you know your stack, and you've written PRDs before. The methodology gives you the agents without the magic tricks.

GET THE METHODOLOGY

Create a project with VoidForge. The methodology (agents, commands, methods, patterns) is bundled automatically.

$ npx thevoidforge init my-project

This gives you CLAUDE.md, slash commands, method docs, code patterns, and the Holocron. The methodology is delivered via the thevoidforge-methodology npm package.

WRITE YOUR PRD

Two options. If you already have a spec in your head, write it directly to docs/PRD.md using the template format — YAML frontmatter plus markdown sections.

If you want a guided interview instead, launch Claude Code first:

cd my-project
claude

This opens the Claude Code CLI in your project directory. Claude automatically reads the CLAUDE.md methodology file, which loads VoidForge's agents and commands. At the Claude Code prompt, type:

/prd

How slash commands work: All VoidForge commands starting with / run inside Claude Code, not your system terminal. Launch Claude Code with claude in your terminal first. You'll see a > prompt — that's where you type /prd, /campaign, /gauntlet, and all other slash commands.

Sisko asks targeted questions about your product, stack, users, and deploy target, then generates the complete PRD with proper frontmatter. Either path produces the same result — a specification the agents can execute against.

Once your PRD is in place, I run the war. /campaign reads every section, breaks it into missions, and runs /assemble for each. You can watch — or you can walk away and come back to a built project.

RUN THE CAMPAIGN

Launch the full autonomous build (inside Claude Code):

/campaign

Default is autonomous with the full agent roster. Sisko reads the PRD, breaks it into dependency-ordered missions, and runs the full /assemble pipeline for each: architect, build, triple review, UX, double security, devops, QA, tests, crossfire, council. When every mission passes, the Victory Gauntlet runs automatically. Use --interactive to pause between missions.

REVIEW AND SHIP

After the campaign completes, run the standalone Gauntlet for a final pass (inside Claude Code):

/gauntlet

Generate marketing assets and screenshots from your PRD's visual descriptions (inside Claude Code):

/imagine --scan

Then deploy. Kusanagi reads the deploy target from your PRD frontmatter and handles the infrastructure — or run /devops inside Claude Code to configure your target before shipping.

Hybrid project? If you're adding VoidForge to an existing codebase rather than starting fresh, consider running /assess first to map what you have before writing the PRD. See The Import Path for the full workflow.

WHAT'S NEXT

Your project is built. Now stress-test it — run the Gauntlet before real users arrive. Then deploy to any of 6 targets.

Once you're live, the growth engine handles SEO, ads, social, and outreach — so your launch doesn't end on day one.
