# Forge ## Docs - [Config commands](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/cli/config.md): Providers, cost, dashboards, brand, atlas, stack, and opt-in MCP integrations: config, cost, dash, brand, atlas, stack, report, tools, integrations. - [Core commands](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/cli/core.md): Bootstrap and maintain a repo: init, sync, doctor, catalog, docs, and update. - [Memory commands](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/cli/memory.md): Cross-session and team memory: cortex, recall, remember, brain, ledger, reuse, handoff, and decide — all converging on the proof-carrying ledger. - [CLI overview](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/cli/overview.md): Every forge command, grouped by Core, Memory, Substrate, Quality, and Config — the command surface is data, reconciled against the docs by a strict drift check. - [Quality commands](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/cli/quality.md): Verification and safety: verify, scan, spec, taste, uicheck, and harden — plus the v0.19+ precommit and radar gates. - [Substrate commands](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/cli/substrate.md): The pre-action gate and its individually-callable stages: substrate, preflight, route, impact, scope, context, anchor, diagnose, imagine, and lean. - [The four-layer config compiler](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/concepts/config-compiler.md): Author the substrate once; forge sync compiles it into each tool's native config. The four layers are how the brain is expressed; the compiler is how it is delivered. - [Cross-session memory](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/concepts/cross-session-memory.md): Session anchoring, the completion gate, handoff snapshots, and the decision log — the layer that kills session amnesia and partial work. - [Model routing](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/concepts/model-routing.md): A deterministic, diffable rubric picks the cheapest capable model tier before dispatch — with a fail-safe remap for self-hosted gateways. - [The pre-action gate](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/concepts/pre-action-gate.md): forge substrate runs one ordered pass of checks before the model edits code and returns a single verdict — assumptions, routing, impact, scope, memory, and verification. - [Proof-carrying memory](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/concepts/proof-carrying-memory.md): Every stored fact, lesson, or reuse artifact is a claim that carries its own evidence — trusted only once independent oracles raise its confidence above a floor. - [Verification gates](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/concepts/verification-gates.md): Independent verification, the hallucinated-symbol flag, spec-as-contract, and the skill-gate — checks you can run that reduce, but never certify, correctness. - [Keeping dependencies current with radar](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/guides/radar-deps.md): forge radar groups your dependencies into currency rings so stale or drifting dependencies surface before they bite. - [Team memory with the ledger](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/guides/team-memory.md): Fold a teammate's ledger in, conflict-free, over plain git — no server, no sync service, just files that converge in any order. - [Guided, low-configuration onboarding](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/guides/zero-config-onboarding.md): Five minutes to productive: install once, configure a repo once, do a task, and watch the ledger start paying off on day two — guided, low-configuration, not zero-touch. - [Installation](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/installation.md): Three front doors onto one tree: the plugin marketplace, npm global, and a no-registry github: install — plus the contributor symlink setup. - [Forge: the cognitive substrate for AI coding agents](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/introduction.md): Forge is the cognitive substrate stateless models are missing — memory, foresight, and guardrails — as native config for every AI coding agent. - [Quickstart](https://forgekit-docs-mintlify-7cd64f48.mintlify.site/quickstart.md): Install Forge, emit every tool's config from one source, and run your first pre-action gate — in about 60 seconds.
