Software factory

Table of Contents

End-to-end agent factories: stamped pipelines, learning loops, fleet harnesses, platform factories, graph-authored loops, and receipt-gated local loops that own the loop from spec to verified code.

  • Fabro - the MIT Rust server that runs work as version-controlled Graphviz graphs with human gates and model-routing stylesheets, nightly-only releases.
  • Fluent - the self-improving factory with a deterministic final Tester and a learning loop, for teams that accept pre-1.0 ceremony.
  • Fusion - the MIT board-first factory built on Pi that runs every task through plan, review, execute, review steps in worktrees, with multi-node mesh, phone control, and auto-merge on green gates.
  • HAR - the open harness that isolates a fleet of coding agents in worktrees with deterministic verification and an evidence trail.
  • Loki Mode - Autonomi’s source-available local factory that derives a delivery contract from a brief and closes with a signed, offline-checkable Evidence Receipt.
  • Machinist - the Go control plane whose named-command entrypoint is the category’s strictest agent boundary, early access, zero independent coverage.
  • Ouroboros - the Agent OS that freezes a spec from an interview and verifies with the grading hidden from the worker, 14 runtimes.
  • Super Simple Software Factory - a repeatable agents-plus-code pipeline stamped into any repo as a skill, where Python owns the loop and each agent owns one bounded phase.
  • SuperPlane - the category’s largest member, a self-hosted platform that turns confidence-gated backlog issues into review-ready pull requests with durable run records.
  • Zeroshot - the MIT graph runner whose built-in loop makes two independent reviewers accept before delivery, so the implementing agent never approves its own work.

Its members are compared on shared rows in the Software Factory Feature Matrix.
