The Forge AI Plugin bundles Forge-focused skills and MCP-backed tooling so your AI coding agent can scaffold, review, optimize, secure, debug, and connect Forge apps — and stay current on Forge APIs and the Atlassian Design System.

What's included

The plugin provides the following skills and MCP servers:

Skills

Skill	What it does	Sample capabilities
`forge-app-builder`	Guides scaffolding through production: `forge create`, developer spaces and templates, deploy and install, module selection, cross-product scopes, and common CLI or permission issues.	Forge CLI, environments, cross-product scopes
`forge-app-review`	Performs a lightweight release-readiness review across manifest and module wiring, architecture, runtime compatibility, dependency posture, tests, deploy readiness, and obvious security, cost, or reliability signals.	Pre-deploy checks, release readiness, manifest and resolver wiring
`forge-cost-optimizer`	Helps reduce Forge platform consumption across invocations, storage, logs, memory, triggers, API calls, and frontend or backend boundaries.	Invocations, storage writes, logs, memory, scheduled triggers
`forge-debugger`	Supports systematic troubleshooting: deploy errors, resolver failures, blank or missing UI, scopes and permissions, and apps that stopped working in Jira or Confluence.	Logs, blank panels, resolver errors, missing app in UI
`forge-connector`	Guides building `graph:connector` apps that ingest external data into Atlassian's Teamwork Graph so it can appear in Rovo Search and Rovo Chat.	Teamwork Graph, `setObjects`, Rovo Search, Rovo Chat
`forge-security-review`	Performs white-box Forge app security audits with rule-driven checks for authorization, injection, tenant isolation, secrets handling, egress and remotes, web triggers, and static analysis workflows.	AuthZ, injection, tenant isolation, web triggers, static analysis

MCP servers

MCP server	What it does	Sample capabilities
Forge MCP Server	Gives your agent access to up-to-date Forge documentation, template registries, module configuration, manifest syntax, and UI Kit/backend API guides.	Template lookup, manifest syntax, UI Kit guides, backend API reference
ADS MCP Server	Provides Atlassian Design System lookup for Custom UI apps: component discovery, token reference, and icon search via the `@atlaskit` library.	Component discovery, token reference, icon lookup (Custom UI only)

Prerequisites

Before you install, make sure you have:

An Atlassian account.
Node.js 22+ (node -v): this runtime version is required for Forge CLI and app builds.
Python 3 available on your PATH (used by helper scripts).
The Forge CLI installed globally.

Install the plugin

Run the appropriate command to install the Forge AI Plugin on your chosen agent:

Claude Code

Cursor

Gemini CLI

GitHub Copilot CLI

OpenAI Codex

Rovo Dev

/plugin install forge-skills@atlassian-forge-skills

Verify the installation

After installing, run a few quick checks to confirm everything is working.

1. Verify the skill layer

Ask your agent:

1
2
Build me a Jira issue panel that shows customer support tickets.

You should get a structured Forge workflow — developer space discovery, template selection, forge create, code customization, and deployment — not just generic code snippets.

You can also confirm the other skills:

Review: "Review my Forge app before release and tell me whether it is ready to ship."
Cost: "Audit my Forge app for unnecessary invocations, storage writes, logs, and memory usage."
Security: "Run a white-box security review on this Forge app and include CVSS-scored findings."
Debug: "My Forge issue panel is blank after deploy — help me trace it."
Connector: "I want to ingest data from an external project management tool into Rovo Search using a Forge connector app. Where do I start?"

2. Verify the Forge MCP Server

Ask your agent:

1
2
What Forge templates are available for Confluence macros?

You should get a response backed by live Forge documentation, not generic training data.

3. Verify the ADS MCP Server (Custom UI only)

Ask your agent:

1
2
What Atlaskit components should I use for a data table?

You should get a response backed by the Atlassian Design System, with specific component names and import paths.
