SKIA Forge Docs

Product Manual

The governance and orchestration control plane for AI-native software development.

What SKIA Forge Is

SKIA Forge coordinates planning, execution safety, architecture checks, and remediation guidance around AI-assisted workflows.

Delivery Surfaces

The Forge HTTP server binds SKIA_PORT (default 4173). Public routes include canonical downloads at /platform-downloads, /forge/app (web IDE when the SKIA Forge IDE bundle is built), /resources, /security, /contact, and /docs/*. Account sign-in and registration are handled in the SKIA Forge IDE (Electron) or API clients via /api/auth/*, not via marketing page CTAs.

Product Boundaries

SKIA Forge is a control and orchestration layer. It is not a replacement for your full application runtime — it integrates with upstream SKIA intelligence contracts and your existing deployment topology.
