Autonomous Execution with FORGE DR

This guide covers how the FORGE Deep Research pipeline applies to the choco-hq ecosystem specifically — how to audit the organization state and generate execution plans that run overnight.

​
Quick Start

# 1. Ensure gh CLI is authenticated
gh auth status

# 2. Verify workspace has repos cloned
ls ~/code/workspace/
# Should show: choco-hq, cho-co, choco-contracts, choco-hq-github

# 3. Run State Audit (Phase 1)
# Use FORGE-DR-001 prompt with:
#   Organization: choco-hq
#   Workspace: ~/code/workspace/

# 4. Run Execution Planner (Phase 2)
# Use FORGE-EX-001 prompt with Phase 1 outputs

# 5. Manifest auto-submits to n8n FORGE
# Check morning summary next day

​
Choco-HQ Context

The FORGE DR pipeline was designed with choco-hq’s specific state in mind:
MetricValue
Total repos47
Active code repos5
Empty (issues-only) repos24
Archived repos9
Legacy (should archive)9
Open issues87 across 22 repos
Current stageEARLY_PROTOTYPE

​
Known Anomalies the Audit Detects

  • cho-co branch drift: Active branch claude/oompa-ux-specs-8tlAP has unmerged work while main is stale
  • choco-editor default branch: Set to ephemeral Claude session branch, not main
  • Duplicate PRs: choco-hq #29 (conflicting) and #36 (mergeable) — same title
  • Hollow bundle completion: BUNDLE-A marked complete but target repos (the-vault, zero-point) have no code

​
Critical Path

The execution planner generates tasksets following this critical path:

​
What Changes from Manual Execution

Before (Manual)After (FORGE DR)
“GO TASKSET N” human gateAutomatic handoff via A2A contracts
Wait for approval between tasksetsExponential backoff on failure, auto-continue on success
Single-pass analysis4-stream verification with synthesis
Ad-hoc state checksSystematic 12-section state audit
Implicit dependenciesExplicit DAG with critical path
Morning status meetingAutomated morning summary

Overnight Execution Parameters

ParameterValueRationale
Max concurrent tasksets3GitHub API rate limit safety margin
API rate limit30 req/minWell under GitHub’s 5000/hour
Cooldown between tasksets60 secondsPrevent burst patterns
Retry base delay30 secondsFast recovery for transient failures
Retry max delay15 minutesCap on backoff growth
Max retries5Balance persistence vs futility
Taskset timeout30 minutesPrevent runaway agent sessions
