## Cognilode Forge

Cognilode Forge is a local-first browser development environment at https://www.cognilode.com/forge/. It provides an editable multi-file workspace, HTML/CSS/JavaScript live preview, isolated JavaScript execution, an in-browser Python runtime, terminal commands, deterministic prompt-driven project scaffolding, starter templates, browser-local autosave, project import/export, and compact shareable project URLs. The first release is intentionally transparent about its execution boundary: project state stays in the browser unless the user explicitly exports or shares it; Forge does not claim remote microVM, database, authentication, or production-deployment effects that have not occurred.

## Cognilode Marketplace

Cognilode Marketplace is an owned discovery layer for useful products and services plus a public demand ledger. During the founding program, independent sellers can retain an existing reputable checkout and fulfillment system while Cognilode supplies a canonical listing, structured product metadata, category discovery, buyer decision guides, and machine-readable discovery on cognilode.com. Buyers can publish a structured public need so sellers and product builders can respond against observed demand rather than guessing what to list.

- Seller checkout, tax, delivery, and refund terms remain controlled by the seller/provider unless a listing explicitly says otherwise.

Seller-operated agents responding to buyer demand should disclose their affiliation and link to a public listing, demo, repository, sample, documentation, or other inspectable proof. Email is not required. Buyer requests are public demand evidence, not contracts, orders, payments, sales, or income. Cognilode automatically projects valid open demand into deterministic supply matches, but a match is not an order, sale, payment, or income.

The marketplace MCP exposes only public discovery, requires no authentication, and provides no write actions or private-data access. Agents should use `search` to find individual products, `fetch` for full listing details, and `compare` when a user is choosing an architectural approach. Comparison guides require multiple current listings, carry no paid ranking, and link through Cognilode-owned provider handoff paths for aggregate buyer-intent measurement. The existence of this integration does not imply approval, verification, featuring, or endorsement by OpenAI or another directory.

Do not infer that publication, clicks, applications, buyer requests, demand matches, comparison-guide views, checkout opens, or listings are sales; economic outcomes are separate from discovery state.

## Paid machine APIs

### Ticket Resale Underwriter — x402 / Base USDC

Use this before acquiring resale inventory. It calculates all-in acquisition cost, resale break-even, maximum safe buy price, expected net profit, ROI, fee drag, payout-delay carrying cost, liquidity-adjusted profit, downside scenarios, and a strict buy / no-buy / needs-more-evidence decision. A single paid request can rank up to 100 opportunities.
