⚒️ The Foundry Pattern

Instances · the pattern under pressure

The center stays fixed.
The application does not.

Each Foundry inherits the same compact Pattern and foundry-lib core. The larger application layer supplies the corpus, vocabulary, actions, delivery shape, and meaning of correct that only its domain can define.

Original implementation

Galaxy Workflow Foundry

Turns papers, Nextflow, CWL, interviews, and free-form designs into tested Galaxy workflows. Its application layer contributes source-aware kinds, Galaxy tool knowledge, ordered Pipelines, cast skill targets, and a two-stage gxwf and Planemo check.

External check deterministic CLI (gxwf) — "the rails"

The compact core stays shared; this Foundry owns everything named in the application layer.

Active reference build

TDA Bioinformatics Foundry

Hardens frontier topological data analysis into reproducible bioinformatics practice. Its application layer ties methods and papers to packages, locked environments, recipes, replication evidence, and its first Mold for scoring candidate structures.

External check evolving — reproducible environments and evidence-bearing replication provide the current teeth

Empirical referee

Statistical Genomics Foundry

Keeps statistical-genomics work productive without allowing plausible reasoning to certify itself. Established methods and cautionary failures ground cast referee skills that critique analyses today and work toward empirical calibration.

External check authored critique/referee skills today; empirical calibration is the stronger target
