Purpose
Transition an issue to closed once its acceptance criteria are met. Closing removes the issue from the ready/in-progress sets and recomputes the dependency graph so downstream work becomes available.
When to Use
- After verifying an issue's acceptance criteria (tests green, change shipped).
- When wrapping up several finished issues at once.
Command
forge close <id> # close a single issue
forge close <id> <id> <id> # close several issues at once
forge issue close <id> # equivalent issue-scoped form
Instructions
- Confirm the work is genuinely complete — run the relevant tests first.
- Leave a final note with comment if context is useful.
- Run
forge close <id>(or pass multiple ids) to close the issue(s). - Run ready again to see what the closure unblocked.
Example
$ forge close forge-142
Closed forge-142. Unblocked: forge-150.
Success Criteria
- Acceptance criteria are met and verified before closing.
- Newly unblocked issues are checked with
forge ready.
