What it is
Forge Bot is the deterministic operator inside Forge — not just another chat model.
It handles configuration, search/discovery, context preparation, and privileged capabilities through the capability gateway.
How it works
Bot finds.
AI thinks (only when needed).
Bot finishes.
Important notes / limitations
Bot can work before forge init for setup guidance.
Simple deterministic tasks can keep provider usage at 0.
Bot never silently bypasses Protected Source or Secrets.
