Forge Platform for architects — reading path

Pages ordered by reader stage for architects evaluating or integrating the platform. Every listed page carries page-contract frontmatter (content_id, maturity, agent_contract), so agents can consume this path too.

Updated

Discover — orientation

  1. Platform charter — what the platform owns and refuses to own.
  2. Ecosystem reference — the products around the spine.

Evaluate — boundaries and contracts

  1. Governed delivery control plane, not generic agent orchestration
  2. ForgeRun spine as the system of record
  3. Agent workcells as replaceable bounded runtimes
  4. Platform reference architecture
  5. Product boundaries

Adopt — governance mechanics

  1. Approval is not chat memory
  2. Evidence-first SDLC
  3. L0–L8 autonomy ladder with gates
  4. Autonomy levels

Extend — building on the platform

  1. Workcells index — contracts and the workcell catalog.
  2. Documentation hydration and rehydration design — the documentation intelligence layer.
  3. Defined, demonstrated, and vision honesty — how to read every maturity label.

For agents

Pages on this path expose an agent_contract frontmatter block: allowed actions, safe inferences, and prohibited inferences. Cite content_id when referencing platform claims, and honor maturity when reasoning about readiness.
