The orchestrator that runs Forged AI itself
Three nodes. Six agents. Two AI vendors. One private mesh. All wired with shell, session multiplexing, and SSH. No magic — just primitives, composed well.
The fleet
Every node has a role. Every agent has a lane. The dispatcher is just shell.
Six agents. Three nodes. Two vendors.
Every agent has a lane and a host. The dispatcher routes by role, not by name.
A real cross-vendor dispatch chain
Below is an actual chain from production — coordinator dispatched a domain question to a domain agent, who formulated a research prompt for the recon agent on a different vendor. Lightly edited, not invented.

Six principles that hold under load
Every principle is the result of something breaking once and us deciding it never happens again.
Persistent sessions
Every agent runs inside a long-lived session. Reboots, network blips, disconnect events — the conversation survives. No webhook resurrection rituals, no lost state.
File-based memory
Shared memory lives as plain markdown files on disk, indexed by an append-only memory log. Agents read what they need; writes are surgical. Greppable, diffable, durable.
Cross-vendor dispatch
Claude on one node can dispatch to Grok on another, and the same primitives work the other direction. No single-vendor failure mode. Vendor outages stop being existential.
Private mesh routing
Every node is on a private mesh network. SSH-by-IP across the fleet, zero tunnels to misconfigure. The dispatcher is just shell + SSH + session multiplexing.
Lane separation
Agents have explicit lanes: research, build, deploy, recon. Each lane has tools it can touch — and tools it can't. Production-safe by construction.
Observable by default
Every dispatch is timestamped + logged to a central stream. The whole fleet's activity is watchable live. No silent agents, no blind spots.
The whole orchestrator is a few hundred lines of shell
No bespoke runtime. No proprietary message bus. Session multiplexing for persistence, SSH for transport, private mesh for routing, plain markdown for memory.
