Software Factory ModelSoftware Factory Concept

Information

Own the whole factory: Production-Grade ships it as a starter kit with white-label rights and source ownership.

Foundry runs like a software factory or Replit-like environment.You Provide

Code boilerplates: initial project structure, existing codebase, or starter templates in sandbox/<project-id>/

Tasks: explicit task definitions with acceptance criteria (what must be built)

Goal: high-level project objective (what the project should achieve)

Foundry Does

Executes tasks sequentially in the sandbox

Builds on existing code and boilerplates

Validates each task's completion (deterministic + helper agent when needed)

Maintains persistent state across sessions

Continues until the goal is achieved or tasks are exhausted

The Orchestration Lifecycle

Provision: Foundry spins up a clean, isolated context (Sandbox) for a specific task.

Dispatch: It routes the task to the most suitable "Worker Node" (e.g., Gemini for reasoning, Cursor for editing).

Monitor: It watches the execution in real-time, enforcing constraints (time, scope, file access).

Validate & Persist: It runs deterministic checks (tests, AST) and commits the state only when criteria are met.

Rule: The operator injects goals and tasks; Foundry never invents or expands scope.
