Show HN: Forge an idea into a build-ready spec, on the AI engine you have

Category: devtools

Tags: ai-tools, spec-generation, self-hosted

Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 6, Documentation: 7, Utility: 7)

Hephaestus' Forge is a self-hosted web app that interviews users about their ideas and generates build-ready specs (PRD, technical spec, estimation) for AI coding agents. Its innovation lies in being AI-engine-agnostic and recommending the right solution type (e.g., automation vs. app) before coding begins, saving tokens and rewrites.

Target audience: backend devs, indie hackers, founders, PMs
