The real cost of a growing backlog
of open issues sit untouched in most repos — bugs nobody has time to triage, let alone fix.
bugs get found before a customer reports them when nobody is actively sweeping the codebase for regressions.
is how long a backlog keeps growing while your team sleeps, ships features, and fights fires — unattended work needs an unattended worker.
The Software Factory approach
triage, spec, implement, and review — one issue at a time
triage → spec → implement → review, run end-to-end
What Software Factory does
The bug-finder skill proactively sweeps a connected repo to find and file previously-unreported bugs, complete with reproduction evidence, or deep-dives an already-reported issue — either way it flows straight into the pipeline unattended.
The triage skill classifies an issue as a bug or a feature request and turns it into an implementation-ready spec with clear acceptance criteria — no more vague issue descriptions blocking progress.
The implement skill builds the spec'd change end-to-end and opens a pull request — from a filed issue to a reviewable diff, with no human keystrokes in between.
Choose Supervised mode, where a human approves each pipeline-stage transition (triage → spec → implement → review → done), or Auto mode, where the whole pipeline runs unattended from discovery through opening the PR.
Software Factory is an orchestrator, not a coding assistant of its own — it drives whichever external AI coding-agent CLI you configure: Claude Code, Codex, or Forage itself.
Run it as a Docker container or a single binary (sfactory-code) that listens locally and ships its own web UI — chat and Kanban — for watching the pipeline work.
5 steps
A filed issue (or one the bug-finder skill discovered on its own) is classified as a bug or feature request and given clear scope.
sfactory-code --connect <repo>The triaged issue is turned into an implementation-ready spec with concrete acceptance criteria — the bar the implementation will be checked against.
stage: specYour configured AI coding-agent CLI (Claude Code, Codex, or Forage) builds the change end-to-end against the spec.
stage: implementThe change is reviewed against the spec and acceptance criteria before a pull request is opened.
stage: reviewA pull request lands in your repo, ready for a human to merge. In Auto mode, all five stages ran without anyone touching the keyboard.
