Build Dark Factory Automates AI Software Delivery
Build Dark Factory is an open-source coding-agent skill that turns a PRD into a repository through automated planning, implementation, validation, review, deployment, and merge workflows. It packages Cole Medin’s reusable AI software-delivery skills around a repeatable plan-implement-validate loop.
The real breakthrough is process discipline, not fully autonomous coding: Build Dark Factory makes an agent follow an explicit, inspectable delivery system instead of improvising each task.
- –Combines planning, implementation, testing, code review, worktrees, and pull-request automation into one end-to-end workflow
- –Treats skills as editable Markdown procedures, making the system portable across coding agents and easy for teams to customize
- –Deterministic validation gates address the biggest weakness of autonomous coding: agents confidently shipping incomplete or untested work
- –The approach shifts engineering leverage toward designing constraints, conventions, and feedback loops rather than writing every line manually
- –Human oversight remains important for architecture, requirements, and approval, even if routine execution becomes lights-out
