Let client and agency coding agents share one app safely

An agency owner built CommonForge, a free, openly shared tool that lets client and agency coding agents work on one app safely; no usage results are given.

What they did

An agency owner noticed that clients now build working software with AI. So they built CommonForge to let client agents and agency agents work on the same app. Each task gets its own separate code storage on Cloudflare, holding only the code that task needs. Client logins can't reach the agency's behind-the-scenes systems. Every change goes to a test copy of the app before the live version.

How it went

The author shares an 8-minute demo. They say the tool is free to use and change, and it installs into your own Cloudflare account with one script. No usage results are given.

Worth knowing

The main safety idea to borrow: each agent sees only the code its task needs, and client agents are kept away from the agency's behind-the-scenes systems.

Try it yourself

Help me set up a workflow where outside contributors' coding agents and my own agents can work on [project] in parallel. Propose a structure where each task gets its own repo or branch containing only the code it needs, outside credentials cannot reach [backend services], conflicts are detected before merge, and every change deploys to staging first. Show me the plan and any access changes before applying them, and never deploy to production without my approval.

Swap the highlighted [parts] for your own details.
