What VelociForge Is

VelociForge (vforge) replaces slow node_modules disk I/O bottlenecks and multi-minute npm ci network installations by bundling dependency trees into a single compressed cryptographic manifest (.vforge).

Core Capabilities

Sub-Millisecond Startup

0.70ms ephemeral startup. 1.45ms zero-copy virtual symlink mounting. 0.00ms warm lockfile verification. This is not benchmark theater — it is how fast package restore should be.

SBOM Generation

CycloneDX 1.4 and SPDX 2.3 SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) generation built in. Know exactly what ships in your dependency tree.

Security Auditing

OSV/CVE vulnerability scanning integrated into the package manifest. Audit your dependencies without a separate tool or external API.

Embedded Documentation

A built-in VitePress documentation portal (vforge docs) ships with every project — no external hosting required.
