Factory Blueprint
One operation, three production lines. Repos, standards, surfaces, and the flows between them.
The whole operation. Three lines.
Convention encoded as markdown.
Batch mode. Sweeps whole codebase.
Incremental mode. Reviews every PR.
Awareness signal. Routes attention.
A place users see our work (website, extension, etc).
Data or artifacts passed between production lines.
External infrastructure and services.
Ship code from repos to production.
Scans fix existing code, checks guard new PRs.
Push messaging updates to all surfaces.
Signal to blog, social, email.
Standards update over time. /push auto-evolves checks.
AI drafts content, images, code.
Run a standard against the whole codebase.
A human makes the call instead of automation.
Automation with a human touch.
Continuous improvement.
Making the invisible visible.
Standardized work.
Tools that serve the worker.
Visual signal cards. Pull, don't push.
Pull the cord. Route attention.
Level the load. Smooth the flow.
Honest reflection. Five whys.
Best practices spread sideways.
Mistake-proof the process.
The Whole System
Three production lines. Standards enforce quality. Everything ships to 18+ surfaces.
Production Lines
Three lines. Shared infrastructure. Standards flow between them.
Distribution
18+ surfaces organized by which production line feeds them.
Owned Properties
Distribution
Marketplaces
Quality Control
A standard is a markdown file describing a rule. Three enforcement modes:
Scans
New standard triggers a codebase sweep. Agents fix violations in batches.
Checks
Run on every PR. Review diff against standard. Pass or fail.
Flags
Route attention to sensitive changes: auth, migrations, billing. Visibility, not verdict.
Standards
Agent Tooling
The tools that keep the line moving.
Inventory & Deployment
What the factory has built, and how it reaches users.
Deployment Modes
The Merge Queue
Parallel agents prepare PRs in isolated worktrees. Sequential merge into main.
The Control Room
Data flows in from monitoring. Decisions flow out to action channels.
The Andon Cord
Sensitive change detected. Flag raised. Human reviews. Resolution.
The Factory Floor
Threader syncs every Claude Code session to the cloud. Share, search, and attach session context to PRs.
Reflection
Something breaks. Five whys to root cause. Issue. Retro. Ship the fix.
Prototyping
Downstream Cascade
Update once. Propagates across all repos and surfaces.
Factory Observability
Intervention rates per standard, per line. Check pass/fail trends. Issue-to-ship latency. Positioning drift detection.
Signal Ingestion
Everything that generates insight feeds signal: support emails, Intercom, #feedback Slack, Notion discussions, Claude Code sessions, MC usage patterns, check CLI results.
Check CLI as Infrastructure
check CLI runs all .continue/checks locally in parallel via claude -p (haiku). Local experience mirrors CI in Mission Control.
Standards Evolution
/push updates checks based on what it learns from each session. Scans graduate to checks. Flags adjust based on human response.
Mini-Factory Templates
Packaged starter kits for spinning up fun, simple side-project websites. Same standards, same checks, same deployment. Just smaller.
