Factory Factory is infrastructure for running coding agents across Git repositories. Its Go control plane stores work, shows the worker fleet, and delegates tasks. Each Go worker owns one agent runtime, currently Codex or Claude Code. The browser UI provides: an overview of execution throughput, reliability, cycle time, queue depth, and worker health; a work queue and task details; registered worker and repository status; task delegation using a title, prompt, repository, and worker. Factory is local-first today. The server only accepts loopback connections and does not include user authentication. Quick start Requirements: Go 1.25 or newer Git Codex CLI or Claude Code CLI, authenticated on the worker host Node.js is only needed when changing the UI. Normal builds use the committed, embedded UI assets. GitHub Automations and on-demand worker checkout depend on the GitHub CLI, . Factory does not include a separate GitHub API client. Install and authenticate on the control-plane host and each eligible worker host before enabling a GitHub Automation: Edit to select or . Workers need no repository list.

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
