AI-generated code modules from battle-tested specs.
node_modules → Zero dependencies. You own the code.
Packages exist because humans can't hold entire implementations in their heads. So we compress: download someone else's code, trust their types, hope their tests cover your edge cases. AI doesn't need this compression. It needs specifications, edge cases, and test suites. Forma gives it exactly that.
event-stream. colors.js. ua-parser-js. node-ipc. One malicious package compromises millions of applications. Every dependency is an attack surface you don't control. Every npm install is an act of blind trust.
The average project pulls in over a thousand packages you never asked for. Version conflicts, phantom types, breaking changes at 3am. You're shipping other people's bugs and you don't even know it.
Senior architects debugging node_modules instead of designing systems. npm audit floods with noise. FedRAMP audits take weeks per dependency. TypeScript types don't match. Builds break on updates nobody asked for.

Tell Forma what you need in plain English. Use the CLI or click any element in the visual interface. Your project's types, patterns, and coding style are already understood — context is automatic.
forma generate "auth with Google"
Forma retrieves battle-tested specs — RFC standards, 500+ edge cases per feature, OWASP security checklists, lessons from CVEs — and generates custom code tailored to your exact stack. Not a template. Not a copy-paste. Custom.
One file. Zero dependencies. Every function tested against comprehensive suites. You own the code outright — no runtime dependency on Forma. Export it, fork it, modify it. It's yours forever.
312/312 tests passed ✓
Google, GitHub, Microsoft. PKCE, nonce, token refresh, session management.
RS256/ES256 signing, claims validation, refresh rotation, blacklisting.
Template rendering, retry logic, bounce handling, DKIM/SPF validation.
Schema-driven, async validators, i18n error messages, accessibility.
Checkout, subscriptions, webhooks, idempotency, SCA/3DS handling.
REST/GraphQL, retry with backoff, circuit breaker, request deduplication.
Virtual scrolling, sorting, filtering, pagination, CSV export, keyboard nav.
Chunked upload, resumable, presigned URLs, virus scanning, progress tracking.
5 specs at launch → 20 by end of Q2 → 50+ by end of year. Community specs coming soon.
| npm / Packages | AI Assistants | Forma | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dependencies | ✗ 100s–1000s | ✗ Still uses npm | ✓ Zero. Single file. |
| Security | ✗ Trust every maintainer | ✗ Generates vulnerable code | ✓ Audited specs, OWASP |
| Types | ✗ @types maybe exists | ✗ Generic / hallucinates | ✓ Native to your project |
| Edge Cases | ✗ Varies by pkg quality | ✗ Misses most of them | ✓ 500+ per spec, curated |
| Testing | ✗ You write your own | ✗ Generates basic tests | ✓ 300+ tests, always |
| Context | ✗ None | ✗ File-level at best | ✓ Full project hierarchy |
| Ownership | ✗ Locked to updates | ✓ You own it | ✓ You own it. No lock-in. |
| FedRAMP | ✗ Weeks per dependency | ✗ Not auditable | ✓ Single file, full provenance |
No transitive dependencies means no attack surface you don't control. Every line of generated code is traceable back to audited specifications. No blind trust in anonymous maintainers.
Every generated file includes metadata: which specs were used, which edge cases were covered, which RFC standards were followed. Your compliance team can audit a single file instead of 1,000 packages.
Security specs include OWASP Top 10 rules, common CVE patterns, and injection prevention. Generated code is secure by default — not as an afterthought. Every auth flow handles CSRF, XSS, and PKCE.
Designed by an engineer who implemented AC-2, AC-7, and AC-8 compliance controls for federal customers. Enterprise tier includes self-hosted deployment and compliance documentation.
10+ years of software engineering across Amazon AWS, cybersecurity startups, and bioinformatics platforms. At Corelight, I led the architectural refactor of a React/TypeScript application — 37 tickets, 736 files, 82% faster build times — while implementing FedRAMP security controls (AC-2, AC-7, AC-8) for federal customers. I've audited every dependency path, debugged every TypeScript conflict, and watched senior architects waste weeks on problems that shouldn't exist.
I also teach high school students programming. Watching beginners struggle with npm — a tool designed for experts — confirmed what I already knew: the abstraction layer is broken. AI can replace it.

For professional developers and small teams.
Self-hosted. Compliance-ready. Your specs.
Copilot suggests code line-by-line from general training data. Forma generates complete, tested implementations from curated specifications with 500+ edge cases. Copilot helps you write code faster; Forma replaces the need to write it at all.
Every generated file is validated against comprehensive test suites (300+ tests per spec). The specs are built from real-world edge cases, CVE lessons, and RFC standards. If a bug is found, it's added to the spec — making every future generation better.
Absolutely. You own the code outright. It's a regular TypeScript file in your project — read it, modify it, extend it. There's no runtime dependency on Forma. If you cancel your subscription, your code keeps working forever.
Launching with TypeScript + React/Express/Next.js. Python, Go, and Rust support planned for Q3 2026. The spec format is language-agnostic — the generation engine adapts to your stack.
When a spec is updated (new CVE, new RFC amendment, new edge case), you can re-generate affected code with a single command. Forma diffs the changes and shows you exactly what changed and why.
No. Forma analyzes your existing project's types, patterns, and style. You can gradually replace npm packages one-by-one. Run forma migrate passport and we'll generate a zero-dependency replacement that matches your existing interfaces.
Forma focuses on the 90% of packages that are pure JavaScript/TypeScript logic: auth, validation, API clients, data processing, UI components. Native bindings (sharp, bcrypt) are out of scope — use the npm package.
Community spec contributions are planned for Q3 2026. Think of it like a package registry, but instead of code, you're publishing battle-tested knowledge. Spec authors will be able to earn revenue from premium spec usage.
