Software factory full pass — Isolate → Build → Prove → Ship

Continuation of Schmidt factory talk. Four-step conveyor for multi-agent feature work.

Steps

1. Isolate / Team — worktrees/branches so ~50 agents can ship parallel features without overwriting (agents.md + new-feature skill) 2. Build — code-structure skill forces service-layer architecture (less slop, human/agent-readable) 3. Prove — evidence-driven testing (before/after video) + before/after screenshots in PRs; non-visual = measured numbers; auto-loop back to Build if proof fails 4. Ship — external review agent (Greptile/CodeRabbit/Macroscope) confidence score; loop until 5/5 then human merge

Factory analogy

Order station → assembly line → QC → package/deploy. Software factory = markdown workflows, not a vendor product.

• Rename Isolate → Team (speaker)
• Coop: park as architecture reference for Acquire/agent factory discipline
