Command-line use

forgegen itself is a desktop UI — it doesn't ship its own CLI. For batch generation, scripting, and automation, use the videoflow CLI directly. videoflow is forgegen's analysis + generation engine; every operation available in the forgegen UI is available as a videoflow command.

videoflow CLI reference

For shell-recipe examples (batch processing, watch-folder pipelines), see Pipeline Integration on this site.


Note on the analysis.json sidecar

The forgegen UI's Save to folder flow emits a <stem>.analysis.json companion next to the funscript — see Analysis output. The videoflow CLI currently emits the .funscript only. Sidecar emission from the CLI is planned once the writer module migrates from forgegen into videoflow.

If you need the sidecar today, generate through the forgegen UI rather than the CLI.
