forgecad.io is the hosted ForgeCAD platform; a project is a local folder linked to the server by forgecad.json. The full command inventory (project, file, member, share, token commands and flags) lives in forgecad project --help and the forgecad skill's docs/CLI.md — do not relearn it here.
One studio process. Run a single long-running forgecad studio <folder> [<folder> ...] naming every active project folder. The user opens the one printed localhost port once; create and edit files only under those folders so the browser live-updates. Never spawn extra servers per project.
studio vs dev.forgecad studio is for users and agents; forgecad dev is only for developing ForgeCAD itself.
Login only for hosted commands.forgecad login before any project/publish command; local work (run, render, studio) needs no auth.
init creates, push syncs.project init "Name" creates the remote project, writes forgecad.json, and pushes existing local files. push only syncs an already-initialized project. clone <slug> is the inverse: remote → new local folder.
Sync is content-hash based.status/push/pull compare file content hashes — no timestamps, no git; a file is "modified" purely by content difference. Loop: edit → project status → project push.
Sync vs single-file ops. Use status/pull/push for normal sync; use project file <read|save|delete|...> only for one hosted-file operation without a full push/pull cycle.
Project context required. All project file * and publish commands must run inside a folder containing forgecad.json.
Shares are live references. A published model always shows the current project file, never a snapshot — pushing changes silently updates published models. publish prints the share URL.
Non-interactive runs. Pass --force to skip confirmation prompts (push, pull, delete) in agent automation.
