4 use cases

  • Install the Factory into an existing GitHub project

    Add the committed Claude and Codex Factory files to a repo and check the setup with doctor.

    View prompt
    Using the addyosmani/factory repository, install the factory into <target-repo-path> by running install.sh against it. Then run .factory/scripts/doctor.sh inside the target and report every finding. Expected output: a list of remaining setup gaps, or confirmation that none remain. Verify that docs/factory/CHARTER.md exists in the target.

  • Turn small labeled issues into reviewed draft pull requests

    Let scheduled agents implement charter-allowed issues on claimed branches and open draft PRs for review.

    View prompt
    In the addyosmani/factory setup of <target-repo>, pick one issue labeled factory:ready-to-implement and run the implementation stage on it. Expected output: a draft pull request with its gate results and verifier verdict. Verify that no merge was performed and that the PR is still open as a draft.

  • Sort an issue backlog into implement, spec, or wait

    Have a triage run classify each untriaged issue and write a handoff comment with its gate level.

    View prompt
    Using the addyosmani/factory skills in <target-repo>, run the triage stage on the open untriaged GitHub issues. Expected output: a list of issues with the factory:* label applied to each and a one-line reason. Verify that no code was changed and that every issue has exactly one queue label.

  • Get a weekly health sweep that files issues for findings

    Run a monitor that checks the default branch and Factory health, then files findings as GitHub issues.

    View prompt
    For the factory installed in <target-repo>, run the monitor stage once and report the issues it would file. Expected output: a list of proposed issue titles and the default-branch or setup finding behind each. Verify that the stage lists findings before filing any issue.

How to use Factory

  1. Check you have what it needs: A GitHub project you control, with permission to create labels and manage its pull requests; Claude Code installed, or Codex if you use the Codex adapter; A clone of the addyosmani/factory repository.
  2. Open addyosmani/factory on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Clone the addyosmani/factory repository to your machine.
  4. Run install.sh against the target repository you want to automate.
  5. Open the target repository in your coding agent and fill in docs/factory/CHARTER.md.
  6. Run .factory/scripts/doctor.sh and fix every placeholder, missing label, or missing remote it reports.

These steps come from our top use case, Install the Factory into an existing GitHub project, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
