Getting Started
Foundry is a multi-tenant agentic delivery platform. It structures delivery knowledge — requirements, skills, workstreams, risks — and powers AI agents that decompose tasks, generate code in sandboxed environments, and push changes to repositories.
This section walks you through standing up a local instance, configuring the required services, and running your first program.
Before you begin

Sections
