Plan, build, scaffold, or safely extend Atlassian Forge apps using current official documentation. Use for fresh Forge apps, existing-app feature work, module and manifest changes, UI Kit or Custom UI implementation, backend functions and events, Atlassian or external APIs, storage, permissions, environment configuration, distribution-affecting implementation, validation, and explicitly authorized deployment or installation; route standalone debugging and specialist reviews to their dedicated skills.

## From README

Forge App Builder Route each request through only the branches and capability gates it needs. Keep platform facts live and keep local guidance focused on safe decisions. Preserve these invariants Retrieve current official Forge guidance before committing to platform syntax, modules, APIs, scopes, limits, runtimes, packages, lifecycle status, or CLI flags. Register every new deployable app with forge create; never hand-build an app identity or replace a failed creation with an unregistered scaffold. Inspect an existing app and its repository instructions before planning or editing it. Preserve unrelated user changes. Never request or accept credentials in chat. Use the relevant interactive CLI or secure configuration flow. Never accept Forge terms or billing consent, deploy, , upgrade, promote, set a production variable, or change a live site without explicit authorization and a confirmed target. Validate every manifest change against the exact current reference and with forge lint.
