Forges
Reusable knowledge for AI agents.
ShippedReusable AI agent knowledge packaged as skills and templates in git repos — clone into your project and go.
The pattern
A forge is a git repo that packages reusable AI agent knowledge as markdown skills and templates with variable substitution. There's nothing to install — it's pure knowledge, portable via clone and copy, and it works with any AI coding agent.
When an agent needs to know how to do something — release a package, audit a repo, run a demo, write tests — it reads a forge skill. The skill tells it exactly what to do, in what order, with what checks. The agent doesn't improvise. It follows the forge.

Self-improving
Forges audit each other. Running /foss-check on a real project reveals gaps in foss-forge, which reveals gaps in demo-forge, which reveals gaps in forge-forge. Each audit improves the auditor. The ecosystem gets better by using itself.
