SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Forge solves the problem of routing ad-hoc development tasks to the correct specialist agents (sentinel, navigator, conductor) without requiring user confirmation, streamlining collaboration and reducing context-switching.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic task routing to the appropriate agent based on task type (design, debugging, refactoring, prototyping) for faster resolution.
  • Support for multi-repo contexts with centralized knowledge of toolchains and workflows.
  • Hands-off interaction: initiate sessions with a single command and let Forge dispatch actions.

Quick Start

Start a general dev session by sending /forge <your question> or simply saying forge.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically route development tasks to specialist agents?

Automatic task routing dispatches ad-hoc dev tasks to specialist agents using predefined routing rules. It determines the correct target for design, debugging, refactoring, and prototyping without requiring user confirmation.

What is the best way to handle code review workflows across multiple repositories?

Handling code review workflows across multiple repositories requires centralized knowledge of toolchains. Smart routing supports multi-repo contexts by dispatching post-commit actions to the appropriate agent for streamlined collaboration.

Can I initiate a design discussion session without confirming the target agent?

Yes, you can initiate a design discussion session without confirming the target agent. The routing mechanism operates hands-off, automatically dispatching architecture discussions based on predefined rules when you start a session.

How do I start a dev session for architecture discussions and prototyping?

To start a dev session for architecture discussions and prototyping, simply send a command with your question or invoke the routing tool by name. The system then automatically dispatches your task to the relevant expert agent.

Does automated task routing work for multi-repo post-commit workflows?

Automated task routing works for multi-repo post-commit workflows by using centralized toolchain knowledge. It evaluates the task type and dispatches the action to the correct specialist agent without requiring manual user confirmation.
