Forge

Overview

Forge is a heavy plugin that manages the full lifecycle of AI coding agents. Dispatch tasks, monitor progress, and supervise execution with OTP-derived strategies.

Features

• Task dispatch — send work to agents via CLI or MCP
• Live monitoring — real-time status, logs, and progress tracking
• Supervision — one_for_one, rest_for_one, one_for_all strategies
• Checkpoints — save stable points with context for continuity
• PTY engine — interactive mode support for agents that need a TTY

Usage

# Dispatch a task
.\entrance.exe nota do --title "Fix auth middleware null pointer"

# Check all running tasks
.\entrance.exe nota overview

# Save a checkpoint
.\entrance.exe nota checkpoint \
  --stable-level "auth-fix-done" \
  --landed "Fixed null pointer in auth middleware" \
  --remaining "Need integration tests" \
  --human-continuity-bus "Start from tests next session"

Supervision Model

Strategy	When to use
one_for_one	Isolated worker — failure doesn’t affect others
rest_for_one	Ordered pipeline — restart failed node and downstream
one_for_all	Tightly coupled bundle — restart entire group

Architecture

• Hosting depth: Heavy (consumes agent APIs, manages execution)
• Manages external agent instances (e.g., Codex CLI sessions)
• Entrance does not run agents internally — agents run in isolated external processes
