Problem

Long-running agentic software work needs scope control, review gates, and clear restart points.

System

Software Factory defines operator protocols for delegating, reviewing, pausing, resuming, and verifying build slices.

Highlights

  • Factory-mode selection for safe MVP slices, reviewers, ledger topology, and user involvement.
  • Baton and handoff discipline designed for long-running agentic software delivery.
  • Docs-first workflow design packaged for public distribution.

Key decisions

  • Keep batons small enough to review and recover.
  • Separate builder work from review and acceptance whenever risk rises.
  • Make handoffs explicit so a resumed thread has facts, not vibes.

Evidence

  • Public website and repository.
  • Skill packaging, README, workflow docs, and usage guidance.
  • Protocols for reviewers, verification cadence, ledgers, and stop or resume control.
