What is RuleForge and how does it work?

It's a Claude AI command suite that ingests board game PDF rules and spits out a dev bundle: GDD, diagrams, stories, architecture. Run /ruleforge for the full 16-stage pipeline.

Will RuleForge replace manual game design docs?

Nope. It automates grunt work but misses nuances — expect edits. Great for prototypes, weak on edge cases.

Is RuleForge free to use?

Commands are open-ish via Claude setup, but hits API limits fast. No cost listed, but Claude tokens ain't free.
