# Documentation home

Public operator manual for CLOB Forge **licensed distribution kits**: installation, configuration, dry-run, deployment, and controls. The same material is linked from your fulfillment email. **Browsing this book does not require login.**

## Who this manual is for

Technical operators who run self-hosted automation against prediction-market CLOBs (for example Polymarket-class venues). You should be comfortable with env-based configuration, process supervision, and reading audit trails before live capital.

## Discovery from search

If you arrived while comparing **prediction market bots**, **Polymarket CLOB automation**, or **self-hosted trading infrastructure**, the commercial site explains [how licensed kits fit](https://clobforge.com/prediction-market-bots) and lists [buyable products](https://clobforge.com/products). This GitBook is the framework and operator manual after you have an artifact and license file.

**Indexable focus:** section titles in this book target operator tasks (install, dry-run, deployment, risk). Cross-links to the storefront above are intentional so readers can move from research to purchase without confusion.
