CopilotForgeDraft

Roadmap

Phases, milestones and release objectives (design brief section 20). Status: draft, version 0.2.0. First versions of all 27 departments now exist: 267 skills (every candidate in the design brief, see data/candidate-skill-map.yaml), 7 programmes, 55 templates, 27 Copilot Cowork plugins and four reviewer-class departments with reviewer tests. Every skill is status: draft. The work ahead is review, evidence and hardening rather than new breadth.
