Dark factory software development

The factory keeps working while nobody watches.

You write the outcome you want. Agents specify it, build it, review each other's work, and verify the result. You answer about one question per change.

YOU GIVE one sentence
YOU GET merged work + proof
YOU DECIDE once, if at all

Product
What is true now
The accepted product state in plain language — behavior, rules, and the evidence behind it.
Ideas
What can happen later
Possibilities, questions, and decisions — preserved without becoming requirements.
Changes
What agents are delivering now
The product meaning of active work — added, replaced, removed — not a raw code diff.
You see Working· Done· Needs you

Every agent action carries evidence you can inspect later

Clear control
Agents run the loop themselves — specify, build, review, repair. Work that passes its checks merges without waiting on you.
Bounded decisions
When something genuinely needs judgment, delivery pauses at that step and asks one question with real choices.
Receipts everywhere
Diffs, tests, logs, decisions, and attempt history stay attached to the work, run after run.
Owned substrate
Agentic development gets stronger when the whole stack, software down to the machines, can be inspected.

Point it at your repo. Watch it work.

We're onboarding a small number of teams who already run agents and want delivery to stop depending on someone watching it.
