Show HN: Talk to a coding agent directly inside Zsh

Hi HN,

We built *ForgeCode*, a coding agent that integrates directly into *Zsh*.

After installing the plugin you can talk to it from your shell using `:` commands.

Example:

``` : add caching to this GraphQL resolver ```

Because it runs inside Zsh, your *aliases, plugins, and shell workflows keep working*.

Forge also appears *multiple times near the top of the Terminal-Bench 2.0 leaderboard* depending on the model configuration.

Curious if others have tried putting AI directly into the shell instead of using another CLI tool.

One reason we built this as a Zsh plugin instead of a CLI tool:

Most developers already have heavily customized shells (aliases, Oh-My-Zsh plugins, functions, etc).

We wanted the coding agent to become part of that environment instead of replacing it.
