eforge MCP Tools and Skills Reference

eforge exposes its capabilities through two integration surfaces:

  • MCP tools for the Claude Code plugin (eforge-plugin/)
  • Native Pi commands and tools for the Pi extension (packages/pi-eforge/)

Both surfaces are kept in parity per AGENTS.md.

MCP tools (Claude Code)

Total tools: 15

Tool name Description
eforge_build Enqueue a PRD source for the eforge daemon to build. Returns a sessionId and autoBuild status.
eforge_follow Follow a running eforge session: streams phase/files-changed/issue updates as progress notifications and returns the final session summary. Use after eforge_build to surface live build status in the conversation.
eforge_auto_build Get or set the daemon auto-build state. When enabled, the daemon automatically builds PRDs as they are enqueued.
eforge_status Get the current run status including plan progress, session state, event summary, and the daemon vs CLI version.
eforge_queue_list List all PRDs currently in the eforge queue with their metadata.
eforge_config Show resolved eforge configuration or validate eforge/config.yaml. Config merges three tiers: user (~/.config/eforge/config.yaml), project (eforge/config.yaml), and project-local (.eforge/config.yaml, gitignored). Pass verbose: true with action "show" to see per-tier file presence.
eforge_profile Manage named profiles in eforge/profiles/ (project), .eforge/profiles/ (local, gitignored), or ~/.config/eforge/profiles/ (user). Actions: "list" enumerates profiles and reports which is active; "show" returns the resolved active profile; "use" writes the active-profile marker to switch profiles; "create" writes a new profile (pass agents.tiers with self-contained tier recipes; optionally pass metadata with description, whenToUse, and tags — descriptive only, does not affect runtime behavior); "delete" removes a profile (refuses when active unless force: true).
eforge_models List providers or models available for a given harness. Actions: "providers" returns provider names (claude-sdk is implicit / returns []); "list" returns models, optionally filtered to a single provider, newest-first.
eforge_daemon Manage the eforge daemon lifecycle: start, stop, or restart the daemon.
eforge_init Initialize eforge in a project. The skill is responsible for picking harness/model/effort per tier interactively; the tool is a pure persister. Pass profile.tiers with one self-contained recipe per tier (planning/implementation/review/evaluation). Each tier carries its own harness + model + effort.
eforge_recover Trigger failure recovery analysis for a failed build plan. Spawns the recovery agent as a background subprocess and returns its sessionId and pid.
eforge_read_recovery_sidecar Read the recovery analysis sidecar files for a failed build plan. Returns both the markdown summary and the structured JSON verdict produced by the recovery agent.
eforge_apply_recovery Apply the recovery verdict for a failed build plan: requeue (retry), enqueue successor (split), or archive (abandon).
eforge_playbook Manage playbooks in eforge. Actions: "list" returns all playbooks with source and shadow chain; "show" returns a single playbook's frontmatter and body; "save" validates and writes a playbook to the target tier; "enqueue" loads a playbook and enqueues it as a PRD, optionally chained after another queue entry; "promote" moves a playbook from project-local (.eforge/playbooks/) to project-team (eforge/playbooks/); "demote" reverses a promote; "validate" checks a raw Markdown playbook string without writing.
eforge_session_plan Manage session plans in eforge. Actions: "list-active" returns all active (planning/ready) session plans; "show" returns a single session plan's data and readiness detail; "create" creates a new session plan file; "set-section" writes a dimension section to the session file; "skip-dimension" records a skipped dimension with a reason; "set-status" updates the session plan status (e.g. to "ready" or "abandoned"); "select-dimensions" sets planning type and depth and populates the required/optional dimension lists from the work-type playbook; "readiness" checks whether all required dimensions are covered; "migrate-legacy" converts a legacy boolean-dimensions session file to the current shape. Pass open: true on "create" or "show" to best-effort open the session plan file in the default application.

Native tools (Pi extension)

Total tools: 16

Tool name Description
eforge_build Enqueue a PRD source for the eforge daemon to build. Returns a sessionId and autoBuild status.
eforge_follow Follow a running eforge session: streams phase/files-changed/issue updates as tool progress messages and returns the final session summary. Use after eforge_build to surface live build status in the conversation.
eforge_status Get the current run status including plan progress, session state, event summary, and the daemon vs Pi-extension version.
eforge_queue_list List all PRDs currently in the eforge queue with their metadata.
eforge_config Show resolved eforge configuration or validate eforge/config.yaml.
eforge_profile Manage named profiles in eforge/profiles/. Actions: "list" enumerates profiles and reports which is active; "show" returns the resolved active profile with harness; "use" writes eforge/.active-profile to switch profiles; "create" writes a new eforge/profiles/.yaml (optionally pass metadata with description, whenToUse, and tags — descriptive only, does not affect runtime behavior); "delete" removes a profile (refuses when active unless force: true).
eforge_models List providers or models available for a given harness. Actions: "providers" returns provider names (claude-sdk is implicit / returns []); "list" returns models, optionally filtered to a single provider, newest-first.
eforge_daemon Manage the eforge daemon lifecycle: start, stop, or restart the daemon.
eforge_auto_build Get or set the daemon auto-build state. When enabled, the daemon automatically builds PRDs as they are enqueued.
eforge_init Initialize eforge in a project. The skill is responsible for picking provider/model interactively; the tool is a pure persister. Pass profile with the assembled multi-runtime spec (every runtime must use harness: 'pi'). With migrate: true, extracts legacy harness config from a pre-overhaul config.yaml.
eforge_confirm_build Present an interactive TUI overlay for the user to confirm, edit, or cancel a build source before enqueuing. Returns the user's choice.
eforge_recover Trigger failure recovery analysis for a failed build plan. Spawns the recovery agent as a background subprocess and returns its sessionId and pid.
eforge_read_recovery_sidecar Read the recovery analysis sidecar files for a failed build plan. Returns both the markdown summary and the structured JSON verdict produced by the recovery agent.
eforge_apply_recovery
eforge_playbook Manage playbooks in eforge. Actions: "list" returns all playbooks with source and shadow chain; "show" returns a single playbook's frontmatter and body; "save" validates and writes a playbook to the target tier; "enqueue" loads a playbook and enqueues it as a PRD, optionally chained after another queue entry; "promote" moves a playbook from project-local (.eforge/playbooks/) to project-team (eforge/playbooks/); "demote" reverses a promote; "validate" checks a raw Markdown playbook string without writing.
eforge_session_plan Manage session plans in eforge. Actions: "list-active" returns all active (planning/ready) session plans; "show" returns a single session plan's data and readiness detail; "create" creates a new session plan file; "set-section" writes a dimension section to the session file; "skip-dimension" records a skipped dimension with a reason; "set-status" updates the session plan status (e.g. to "ready" or "abandoned"); "select-dimensions" sets planning type and depth and populates the required/optional dimension lists from the work-type playbook; "readiness" checks whether all required dimensions are covered; "migrate-legacy" converts a legacy boolean-dimensions session file to the current shape. Pass open: true on "create" or "show" to best-effort open the session plan file in the default application.
