FORGE Methodology
with Guardrails built in
VibeSec Advisory exists because agentic AI is changing how knowledge workers do their jobs. I help teams redesign their processes properly and safely, using the FORGE framework.
Ryan Macomber
Founder, VibeSec Advisory
I help knowledge workers redesign their processes using autonomous AI agents, and do it safely. I spent years as an enterprise AI sales engineer building AI workflows for knowledge workers and saw firsthand how non-technical teams could completely change how they operate with the right process design.
I created the FORGE Methodology to solve a specific problem: teams were adopting agentic AI tools without a methodology. They were getting results, but they were also creating risks. API keys exposed, unapproved tools handling company data, prompt injection vulnerabilities, MCP server misconfigurations. FORGE structures the work into six pillars: Baseline, Skills, Agents, Guardrails, Schedule, and Capture. Security lives in the Guardrails pillar. It is not an afterthought.
I am an advisor who teaches through practical workflow design. I help people see what AI systems can actually do, then turn that insight into reusable Skills, safer workflows, and measurable process improvements.
Why I started VibeSec
I spent years watching the same pattern play out across hundreds of companies. A team would discover agentic AI tools. They would redesign a workflow in days. Then someone would ask: "Is this safe?" And nobody had a good answer.
The problem is not that teams lack ambition. It is that they lack a framework. Generic AI consultants deliver strategy decks with no security depth. Security firms charge six figures, assume you have engineers on staff, and have never used the tools your team is building with. Nobody was designing the process correctly from the start.
I built the FORGE Methodology to close that gap. Six pillars: Baseline, Skills, Agents, Guardrails, Schedule, and Capture. Security lives in Guardrails. It is not a separate engagement or a later conversation. It is built into how I design every process with every client. The security assessment capability behind the Guardrails pillar is what makes that guarantee credible.
Agentic AI is redesigning how knowledge workers do their jobs. I help teams make sure the redesign does not come with a breach.
What makes us different
A Framework, Not a Feature List
The FORGE framework gives your team a repeatable methodology: Skills, Agents, Guardrails, Schedule. Not a list of tools to try. A design process that produces reliable, secure agentic workflows.
I Build These Systems Every Day
Enterprise AI sales engineer turned advisor. I designed the FORGE framework from hands-on experience with agentic AI tools and real security assessment work. This is not consulting theory.
Security in the Process, Not on Top of It
Other advisors offer process design or security assessments. Guardrails is a pillar of every FORGE engagement. Your processes are designed to be secure, not audited after the fact.
Tool-Agnostic by Design
The FORGE framework works regardless of which agentic AI tools your team uses. Claude, Cursor, Amp, Copilot. I help you design the process. You choose the tools that fit your team.
Actionable Deliverables
Agentic process maps, Guardrails documentation, AI governance policies, and security assessments. Not slide decks that collect dust.
One Workflow First
Start with the free FORGE AI Workflow Starter Kit, then use the Advisory Retainer for ongoing process design. Security stays inside the Guardrails work instead of becoming a separate afterthought.
