+### Configuration resolution order
+
+A project may belong to an **organization** (a foundation, company, or
+maintainer collective) that supplies shared defaults via an
+[organization](organizations/README.md). `project.md` names it
+once:
+
+```yaml
+organization: ASF      # default: independent
+```
+
+Every placeholder and dotted config key then resolves in this order,
+**first hit wins**:
+
+```text
+<project-config>/project.md
+  →  organizations/<org>/organization.md     (org named by project.md → organization:)
+    →  framework default
+```
+
+A project declares only what differs from its organization; an
+organization declares only what differs from the framework baseline
+(`organizations/independent/` is that baseline). This is the only
+inheritance in the config model — skills never branch on the
+organization; they read a key and take the first value the chain
+yields. When this document says a value comes from
+`<project-config>/project.md`, read it as "from `project.md`, else the
+project's organization, else the framework default".

+## Tool adapters
+
+The contract-plus-backend split above has a name. A **tool adapter** is
+the unit that fulfils a capability for **one concrete backend**. A
+capability *contract* — `tools/<contract>/`, a pure interface spec —
+defines the verbs a workflow needs; a **tool adapter** implements that
+contract for one vendor:
+
+| Capability contract | Reference adapter(s) | Other backends (extension points) |
+|---|---|---|
+| [`tools/cve-tool`](../tools/cve-tool/) | [`tools/cve-tool-vulnogram`](../tools/cve-tool-vulnogram/) (ASF) | MITRE form, CVE.org direct, GHSA |
+| [`tools/mail-archive`](../tools/mail-archive/) | [`tools/ponymail`](../tools/ponymail/) (ASF) | Hyperkitty, Discourse, Google Groups, GitHub Discussions |
+| [`tools/mail-source`](../tools/mail-source/) | mbox, IMAP | Mailman 3 |
+| [`tools/forwarder-relay`](../tools/forwarder-relay/) | ASF-security ([`tools/gmail/asf-relay.md`](../tools/gmail/asf-relay.md)) | huntr.com, HackerOne |
+| [`tools/scan-format`](../tools/scan-format/) | ASVS | other scanner formats |
+| [`tools/vcs`](../tools/vcs/) | Git | Mercurial, Subversion, … |
+
+A project selects an adapter per capability in its config
+(`cve_authority.tool: vulnogram`, `archive_system.kind: ponymail`,
+`forwarders.enabled: [asf-security]`); **skill bodies never branch on the
+choice.** Tool adapters are exactly where vendor specificity is allowed
+to live — and the reason adding a vendor is "write one adapter," not a
+fork of the workflows.
+
+## Organizations
+
+Most adapter selections are identical for every project under one
+governing organization: every ASF project allocates CVEs through the same
+Vulnogram, reads the same `lists.apache.org` archive, and gates on PMC
+membership. An **organization**
+([`organizations/<org>/`](../organizations/)) groups those shared
+defaults — the **governance vocabulary** (what the governing body is
+called, how contributors are admitted, the lifecycle stages) plus the
+**capability→adapter bundle and infrastructure values** — so they live
+once instead of in every project.
+
+A project names its organization (`organization: ASF`) and inherits the
+rest; resolution is `project.md → organizations/<org>/ → framework
+default`, first hit wins. The reference organization is
+[`organizations/ASF/`](../organizations/ASF/);
+[`organizations/independent/`](../organizations/independent/) is the
+no-formal-organization baseline. This is what lets the *same skill* run
+unchanged for an ASF project and a non-ASF one — the **organization**,
+not the skill, carries the difference. See
+[`organizations/README.md`](../organizations/README.md).
+
+## Authoring your own adapter
+
+Neutrality is only real if adopters can extend it. When Magpie ships no
+adapter for your backend — a forge, a CNA, a chat system, or a whole
+organization profile — you author one, and you have two supported paths:
+
+- **Contribute it to Magpie.** Scaffold the adapter against the
+  capability contract (or copy
+  [`organizations/_template/`](../organizations/_template/) for an
+  organization) and open a PR. Accepted adapters ship under
+  Apache-2.0 like the rest of the framework
+  ([`PRINCIPLES.md` §17](../PRINCIPLES.md#17-contributions-land-under-apache-license-20)),
+  so every other adopter on that backend reuses your work. The
+  [`write-skill`](../skills/write-skill/SKILL.md) flow and
+  [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](../CONTRIBUTING.md) walk you through the conventions
+  (a `**Capability:**` line, a `## Prerequisites` section, an eval).
+- **Link to an adapter defined elsewhere.** You do not have to upstream
+  it. Keep the adapter in your own repository and point your project or
+  organization config at it. The framework curates a discovery index of
+  in-tree and community-maintained adapters — but, per
+  [`PRINCIPLES.md` §13](../PRINCIPLES.md#13-snapshot-plus-override-never-vendored-copies),
+  an index is **for discovery, never for installation**: nothing is
+  auto-fetched, and you wire an external adapter in deliberately, exactly
+  as you would a built-in one.
+
+Either way the skills stay agnostic: they target the capability, and your
+adapter — wherever it lives — supplies the backend.

+
+The reference [organization](../README.md) for the **Apache
+Software Foundation**. [`organization.md`](organization.md) holds the
+ASF defaults every Apache project inherits: PMC governance vocabulary,
+the Vulnogram CVE authority, the PonyMail archive, the
+`apache-projects-mcp` metadata backend, the ASF-security forwarder, and
+the `*.apache.org` / `cveprocess.apache.org` / `dist.apache.org`
+infrastructure values.
+
+## Using it
+
+In `<project-config>/project.md`:
+
+```yaml
+organization: ASF
+```
+
+The project then inherits every key in [`organization.md`](organization.md)
+and need only declare its **own** per-project values (security-list
+address, scope labels, product name, roster handles, tracker labels).
+
+## What is *not* here
+
+Per-project values are not org-level and stay in `project.md`:
+the concrete `<security-list>` address, the scope-label → product map,
+the product name / package name, the security-team roster, and the
+tracker's body-field / label vocabulary.
+
+ASF-specific *process* skills (the `release-management` and
+`contributor-growth` families, marked `organization: ASF`) assume this
+adapter by default.

+# Apache Software Foundation — organization
+
+The **ASF organization**: the default governance vocabulary,
+backend selections, and infrastructure values shared by every Apache
+project that adopts Magpie. A project under the ASF sets
+`organization: ASF` in [`<project-config>/project.md`](../../projects/_template/project.md)
+and inherits everything below; it overrides a key only where it genuinely
+differs (and supplies its own per-project values — security list address,
+scope labels, product name, roster — which are *not* org-level and stay in
+`project.md`).
+
+Resolution: `project.md` → **this file** → framework default. See
+[`organizations/README.md`](../README.md) and
+[`AGENTS.md`](../../AGENTS.md#configuration-resolution-order).
+
+The adapter contracts these blocks bind to live under
+[`tools/cve-tool/`](../../tools/cve-tool/),
+[`tools/mail-archive/`](../../tools/mail-archive/),
+[`tools/forwarder-relay/`](../../tools/forwarder-relay/), and
+[`tools/mail-source/`](../../tools/mail-source/); the shipping ASF
+backends are [`tools/cve-tool-vulnogram/`](../../tools/cve-tool-vulnogram/),
+[`tools/ponymail/`](../../tools/ponymail/),
+[`tools/apache-projects/`](../../tools/apache-projects/), and the
+ASF-security forwarder shape in
+[`tools/gmail/asf-relay.md`](../../tools/gmail/asf-relay.md).
+
+## Governance vocabulary
+
+How the ASF names the roles and rules the skills speak about abstractly.
+These resolve the `<governance-body>` / `<project-stage>` placeholders and
+the contributor-intake mechanism flag.
+
+```yaml

+  governance_body_full: "Project Management Committee"

+  committer_role: "committer"
+  contributor_intake: icla            # ICLA on file before first commit (vs dco / none)
+  project_stage_vocab: [incubating, top-level]   # <project-stage> — podling vs TLP
+  private_governance_list: "private@<project>.apache.org"
+```
+
