Wire the wall.
NODE is HEPHforge's workflow canvas. Draw the path between tools — brief to pack to slice to floor — fire it by hand, hook, or schedule, and let it pause wherever a human should decide. Receipts land in GitHub. Sign in through GATE.
“Wire it once and let it run. I'll carry the signal to every station — and stop at the gate until you say yes.” Spark
01 · The problem
Twelve posts hand work to each other in order. Someone could walk the wall carrying each piece by hand.
→ · The answer
Or the wall could be wired. Draw the path as a graph, fire it by hand, hook, or schedule — and build in the shop's oldest law: some steps need a human, and the signal waits there.
02 · What it does
Wire the wall. Graphs that call HEPHforge tools, pause for a human, and keep shipping.
One workflow canvas for the whole wall
JAM, WIKI, SLICE, SKILL, DATA get wired together in one graph instead of each inventing glue.
Shaped like the tool you know
Visual graph, webhooks, schedules, branches, code, HTTP. Familiar on day one.
Humans in the loop, for real
Wait and Approve nodes hold the graph until a person decides. Resume by link. Nothing auto-wins.
Call the wall
HTTP actions hit sister HEPHforge hosts and any public API from one place.
Receipts to GitHub
Write status, packs, or evidence straight to a file in a repo when a graph finishes.
Fire it your way
By hand, by webhook, or on a schedule.
Doesn't forget
A durable store means the graph you drew yesterday is the graph you open tomorrow.
03 · How it connects
Where NODEforge sits on the wall.
Every tool draws heat and session through GATE and hangs on the Hall. These are its hand-offs.
- fromGATEforgeheat · sessionGraphs sign in through the gate.
- fromSKILLforgeplaybooksGraphs strike from the same written procedure.
- toWIKIforgewiresKick off ingest without a hand on the brief.
- toDATAforgevalidate · publish · fetchPacks move as graph steps.

04 · Tended by
Spark
Spark is the signal in the wires — and she waits at the gate for your yes.
Spark is the bolt in the graph — the jump across the gap between one post and the next. The old smiths hammered lightning; she runs it through the wires.
Her rule: The signal runs until a human should decide. Then it waits.

06 · Get started
Wire the wall.
You get a graph that ships while you sleep and wakes you only to decide. One Gate sign-in opens it and every other tool on the wall.
