Forge overview
Planning & intake — structure, Brand DNA, and scaffold before any page generates.

Overview
Creytix Forge is where every new site starts — before a single page generates, Forge structures the intake, locks the Brand DNA, and scaffolds the site pattern. Nothing moves to Design Labs, Studio, or Connect until Forge has signed off, so the rest of the build never has to guess what the site is or who it's for.

How it works
- Intake — a structured pattern brief captures what the site is, who it's for, and which route classes it needs, instead of a freeform kickoff call.
- Brand DNA lock — the name, domain, and core brand direction get decided and locked in one gate (Brand naming), so everything downstream builds against a fixed target.
- Scaffold — Forge registers the site and its route structure, then hands off to Design Labs and Studio to build against the locked Brand DNA.
Steps
- •
Open Forge in the Control Panel
From the Creytix Control Panel, open Forge to start a new site or resume an in-progress intake.
- •
Run the intake
Answer the pattern brief — what the site is, who it serves, and which route classes it needs.
- •
Lock Brand DNA
Settle the name and domain through Brand naming, then lock the Brand DNA gate so the build has a fixed target.
- •
Scaffold and hand off
Forge registers the site and route structure, then hands off to Design Labs and Studio for build-out.
Capabilities
- Pattern brief intake — structured questions that replace an ad-hoc kickoff.
- Route classes — Forge classifies which route patterns a site needs based on the brief.
- Brand DNA lock gate — a hard checkpoint before anything downstream builds.
- Forge Prompt Studio — author, tag, and version the prompts that drive generation.
- Root Brand Studio — the same intake and governance thread runs across every fleet site.
Limits & honest scope
Forge is the planning and intake layer, not the content or QA layer.
- It scaffolds structure and locks brand direction — it does not author page copy or generate finished designs; that's Studio and Design Labs.
- Route classes are the patterns Creytix currently supports, not an open-ended arbitrary site generator.
- Once Brand DNA is locked, changing it means going back through the gate — it isn't a live-editable toggle mid-build.
