Hackathon: All Things Agentic Hackathon
Track: The Fortified Enterprise Fleet
Project Status: 🟡 Architecture Locked — Phase 0 Specification & Repository Scaffolding in Progress
Workspace Type: Living Knowledge Base
Version: 3.0 — Hierarchical Engineering Agent System
ForgeMind is a hierarchical multi-agent engineering system that follows software changes from pull request to production through a controlled five-tier DAG: Supervisor → Domain Managers → Specialist Workers → Cross-Lifecycle Validator → Decision Reducer & Publisher.
One-Line Pitch: A hierarchical agent system that converts engineering events into evidence, reconciles cross-lifecycle context, and produces validated actions or human escalation—from PR to production.
<aside> 🔄
Architecture v3.0 update: ForgeMind no longer uses a flat collection of peer agents coordinated by one overloaded orchestrator. The architecture now separates global supervision, domain management, specialized analysis, evidence validation, and decision publication into explicit DAG tiers.
</aside>
ForgeMind v3.0 is the approved architectural baseline. This synchronization pass does not introduce a new architecture, additional agent tiers, or a replacement hierarchy. All specifications, agent definitions, fixtures, evaluations, and implementation artifacts must conform to the following invariant:
Tier 1 — Engineering Supervisor
↓
Tier 2 — Domain Managers
↓
Tier 3 — Specialist Workers
↓
Tier 4 — Cross-Lifecycle Validator
↓
Tier 5 — Decision Reducer & Publisher
↓
Action Validation
↓
Action OR Human Escalation
Locked boundaries: Tier responsibilities, authority separation, strict DAG execution, cross-domain reconciliation only in Tier 4, and decision publication only in Tier 5.
Architecture Locked means: the hierarchy, responsibility boundaries, and canonical artifact model are stable. Schema fields and implementation details may evolve only through explicit specification or ADR updates without violating these invariants.
