Agent-native software development driven by specialized terminal 'Droid' sub-agents.
Description. Factory's terminal-based coding agent platform built around specialized sub-agents — Droids — such as a Code Droid for implementation and a Knowledge Droid for research and documentation, with further reliability/product variants. Positioned for enterprise agent-native development.
Agent loop shape. A terminal agent orchestrates role-specialized Droid sub-agents; each Droid runs its own tool-using loop for implementation, research or reliability work, coordinated toward the overall task.
Primary use cases
- enterprise agent-native software development from the terminal
- role-specialized delegation across implementation, research and reliability
- spec/backlog work driven by dedicated droids
Key concepts
- Droids → role-assignment (docs) — Role-specialized sub-agents (Code, Knowledge, ...).
