The 85–92% number is from internal time-tracked tests comparing:Before FORGE (baseline):Spec/plan creation: 3–6 hoursContext switching (browser → IDE → terminal): ~1 hourManual copy/paste of generated code: 30–60 minutesManual setup + environment config: 30–90 minutesAfter FORGE (CloudShell + agents):Plan generation: 10–30 secondsNo local setupAgents edit files directly in the repoTerminal + UI in one interfaceSo the measurement isn’t “marketing hype” — it’s based on reducing a 6–12 hour workflow to 30–60 minutes on real feature builds.Happy to share the breakdown or the feature sets we used if that helps. mutant|3 months ago thank you

Before FORGE (baseline):
Spec/plan creation: 3–6 hours
Context switching (browser → IDE → terminal): ~1 hour
Manual copy/paste of generated code: 30–60 minutes
Manual setup + environment config: 30–90 minutes
After FORGE (CloudShell + agents):
Plan generation: 10–30 seconds
No local setup
Agents edit files directly in the repo
Terminal + UI in one interface
So the measurement isn’t “marketing hype” — it’s based on reducing a 6–12 hour workflow to 30–60 minutes on real feature builds.
Happy to share the breakdown or the feature sets we used if that helps.
