The Workbench Oath — Ship Small. Ship Clean. Ship Kind.

Plain rules for useful tools: clear labels, good manners, no traps. A short oath we hold every Plainforge release to.

11/4/2025

We ship small. We ship clean. We ship kind.

Buttons say what they do.
States don’t gaslight.
Speed is a courtesy, not a stunt.

No treasure maps to basic features.
No “gotcha” walls.
No ransom on your own data.

We prefer quiet confidence:
hands on wood, edges rounded, labels clear.
If it squeaks, we oil it. If it splinters, we sand it.

When in doubt: fewer steps, clearer words, better defaults.
When not in doubt: same.

Plainforge keeps the lights soft, the grain visible, the tools reachable.
If it helps you make or think or breathe a little easier—good. That’s the point.
