ForgeKit Operating System

June 19, 2026

The loop existed on paper. Today we wired the gears. Enforcement, learning pipeline, one-command retro.

Loop audit

Is steps 5+6 of the Forge Loop actually happening?

OS design

4-layer architecture: identity, ignition, registry, assets

Enforcement built

ignition.md, Pattern Registry, CLAUDE.md accurate

Learning pipeline

reuse{} + learning[] schema, drift detector in build-trends

3.5h

Processes

retro, deploy, db:fresh — all single commands

What shipped

ignition.md — session arc replacing preflight.md: orient, environment, orientation check, deploy paths, known traps, harvest

Pattern Registry — reusable-patterns.md rewritten as scannable quick-ref table with §AI §UI §DB sections and detail records

CLAUDE.md — accurate now: real packages vs planned, single source of truth for repo map

Session JSON schema (_SCHEMA.md) — reuse{} and learning[] fields with promotion pipeline: proposed/applied/deferred/rejected

Drift detector in build-trends.mjs — reads learning[] across all sessions, flags unresolved proposed items, computes reuse rate

npm run retro — one command: build:session → build:trends → vercel --prod

npm run deploy:* — all four apps deployable from monorepo root

npm run db:fresh — push + seed in one command across forge, leashline, forgehome

“ForgeKit had memory. Now it has judgment.”
