the factory
one engineer, many products: monorepo operations and agent workflow.
everything on this site ships from one bun monorepo, and agents write most of the changes. four habits keep it running: cataloged dependencies, checks that run only on affected code, a merge queue, and skills that turn repeated work into procedures.
these lessons describe how the factory runs and how to set up your own.
lessons
- merge queues for agent-written commits: affected checks and serialized integrationstart here · confidence without a bottleneck
- cataloged dependencies: one registry for a one-person monorepo · one lockfile, a catalog, and workspace boundaries that hold
- agent skills as tested, released procedures · versioned, released, and checked
- reviewing agent work: gates, evidence, and the final readsubscriber · the review is the product quality
projects
- personal-monorepo-template · the public template distilled from this monorepo.
- skillpack · a public collection of agent skills for repository engineering and phased delivery.
- swft · a publication that tracks software factories and agent swarms across industries.
- coding as music · the essay behind the workflow.
