# Glove Foundry

> Glove Foundry is the Effect-native, file-routed application framework for typed, observable Glove agent systems. Definitions live in code; mutable agent instances, installations, playbooks, schedules, conversations, and workspace state live in data.

## Start

- [Foundry overview](https://glove.dterminal.net/foundry/docs): The framework, its boundaries, and the definition → instance → run model.
- [Installation](https://glove.dterminal.net/foundry/docs/getting-started): Scaffold, configure, run, inspect, and call your first file-routed agent.

## Model the system

- [Definitions & instances](https://glove.dterminal.net/foundry/docs/definitions-and-instances): What belongs in code, what belongs in data, and how persisted instances are reconstructed.
- [Agent composition](https://glove.dterminal.net/foundry/docs/composition): Message-aware lazy assembly, shared tools, models, memory, inboxes, layers, MCP, and mesh calls.
- [Apps & transmissions](https://glove.dterminal.net/foundry/docs/applications): Dynamically installed capabilities, inbound and outbound routes, accounts, and credential adapters.
- [Playbooks & schedules](https://glove.dterminal.net/foundry/docs/automation): Runtime playbooks, event subscriptions, instance provisioning, future triggers, sleep, wake, and cancellation.

## Give agents a world

- [Conversations & work](https://glove.dterminal.net/foundry/docs/conversations): Multiple conversations per instance, inboxes, shared workspaces, tasks, artifacts, and background work.
- [Working environments](https://glove.dterminal.net/foundry/docs/working-environments): Mount a VFS, REPL, skills, and document or media adapters for artifact-producing agents.
- [Multi-agent systems](https://glove.dterminal.net/foundry/docs/multi-agent): Layered agents, subagents, S2S and S2V calls, fan-out, handoffs, and shared work.

## Operate

- [Runtime & HTTP API](https://glove.dterminal.net/foundry/docs/runtime): Typed clients, handlers, activation endpoints, Effect services, and adapter boundaries.
- [Inspector & observability](https://glove.dterminal.net/foundry/docs/observability): Follow runs, model passes, tool calls, messages, retries, artifacts, and safe working notes.
- [Deploy](https://glove.dterminal.net/foundry/docs/deploy): Production adapters, durable state, Foundry workers, and the path from local Foundry to cloud agents.
