> researchforge — forger-labs-hq-researchforge. Use this tool when you need to systematically test and validate coding hypotheses in a controlled environment. Researchforge solves the problem of efficiently managing and comparing different coding approaches by providing a structured protocol for freezing baselines, running experiments, and rejecting or validating improvements. It accepts inputs from Claude Code, Cursor, or a direct API key and outputs validated improvements, integrating with git for version control.
