Cole Medin launches open-source AI Software Factory
AI Software Factory is an open-source automation harness designed to facilitate unattended, 24/7 "dark factory" software delivery on remote Linux servers. Utilizing Archon's shared SDLC workflows alongside CLI-based coding agents like Claude Code, the project automatically ingests GitHub issues or PRDs and executes planning, code implementation, runtime verification, and pull request generation.
Unattended dark factories make autonomous verification and scope defense far more critical than raw code synthesis—without rigorous independent test gates, unattended AI agents will rapidly drown repositories in unreviewed architectural drift. Delegating testing to dedicated runtime verification environments and holdout checks ensures coding agents never grade their own work. Operating persistently as a headless systemd service enables true unattended execution on remote Linux instances rather than acting as a tethered desktop assistant. Strict triage boundaries enforce explicit non-goals to prevent feature creep, while decoupling behavioral logic into Archon keeps local repositories focused strictly on scheduling and runner context.
