What is the Forge App Builder SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Forge App Builder?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Forge App Builder with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 15, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · ad3a8bc

Ran the bundled list_templates.py script live against Atlassian's public template registry: it returned 162 real templates and correctly validated 'jira-issue-panel-ui-kit'. The skill also hard-bans accepting API tokens in chat and forces the agent to run the deploy script itself rather than just printing commands, closing two common failure modes of an unguided agent.

What Forge App Builder does

Guides an agent through building, deploying, and troubleshooting Atlassian Forge apps (Jira panels, Confluence macros, dashboard gadgets) using the official Forge CLI. Triggers on Forge app creation, forge create/deploy/install errors, and Forge-specific concepts like resolvers, UI Kit, or manifest scopes; explicitly excludes generic Jira config, JQL, and non-Forge REST API work.
