Governed memory
Four tiers — scratch, facts, runbooks, decisions. Only a 4000-token index is ever loaded by default; everything else is retrieved on demand through an MCP tool.
Foundry
The senior-engineering stack for Claude Code. Twelve plugins, one kernel, governed memory and a token budget you can actually measure.
What this is
Section titled “What this is”Foundry is a marketplace of twelve Claude Code plugins that turn a generic assistant into a set of specialists that behave like senior colleagues: they consult recorded decisions before proposing new ones, hand work to each other through validated contracts, refuse to claim success without evidence, and keep the cost of a session under a budget you can inspect.
Contracts between agents
Eleven versioned JSON Schemas. A hook validates every handoff and sends a non-conforming artifact straight back to the agent that wrote it.
Gates that explain themselves
Destructive commands, secret writes and unverified completion claims are blocked, each stating the reason and what to do instead. The Bash rules name the rule and carry a documented, expiring override; secrets and completion claims deliberately have none.
A measurable token budget
A context firewall caps what a subagent may return, model routing matches cost to task, and
foundry tokens prints what the configuration actually costs per session.
Install
Section titled “Install”/plugin marketplace add fedcal/foundry/plugin install foundry-core@foundryThen pick the plugins for the work at hand, or apply a profile:
foundry profile angular-spring-enterpriseWhat it is not
Section titled “What it is not”Foundry is not a replacement for superpowers — it depends on it and delegates test-driven development, debugging discipline and completion verification to it rather than reimplementing them. It is not a model, not a hosted service, and not affiliated with Anthropic.
