A CLAUDE CODE + GITHUB SOFTWARE FACTORY
You set direction.
Claude runs the factory.
Work as analyst, architect and lead. Claude drafts, plans, builds and reviews — many issues at once, each in its own worktree, all through GitHub.
THE PIPELINE
Six stages. One session each.
Every stage ends with a handoff that starts the next, so context stays clean. Research and slicing are detours, taken only when the work needs them.
- drafterTurns loose feedback into one well-formed issue. Open questions get tracked, never absorbed.
- researcherA dated, cited dossier — only when the work turns on external truth it shouldn't guess at.
- slicerCuts big work into increments you could demo, filed as sub-issues GitHub rolls up.
- plannerDesigns the approach against repo precedent and your docs, pinned to a commit.
- resolverImplements in its own worktree, opens the PR, loops with review until approved.
- evaluatorJudges the PR against its origin issue, gates on branch health, merges per your policy.
THE OPERATOR
You move up the stack.
Analyst
Shape the intent. Answer the open questions. Approve the requirements.
Architect
Review the plan before a line is written, while changing course is still cheap.
Lead
Read the evidence, not every line. Spend your attention where the risk is.
Claude does everything in between — concurrently, one worktree per issue.
PRINCIPLES
Built on how Anthropic ships.
- 01
Code is no longer the bottleneck.
The steps around the build still run at human speed. The factory is built for those.
- 02
Every stage leaves an artifact.
Issues, plan comments, PRs and reviews. GitHub is the audit trail.
- 03
Review is continuous.
Verified before the PR, reviewed on every PR, gated on branch health before merge.
- 04
Nothing lands except through a PR.
A write-protected main. Worktrees open and close cleanly — never a silent discard.
- 05
A person owns every outcome.
Claude proposes, verifies and fixes. You decide what to build and what ships.
BATTLE-HARDENED
Forged shipping a complex enterprise tele-health platform.
Not a demo. Every stage, gate and guardrail exists because real delivery needed it.
THE MAKER
Decades of shipping, distilled.
The factory encodes how software actually gets delivered, learned the long way.
Web pioneer
Building for the web since its earliest days, including online maps before Google Maps.
Microsoft
Engineering inside one of the world's largest software organisations.
Founder
Co-founded a B2B SaaS company and saw it through to a sale.
Enterprise systems
Complex platforms where failure is expensive and review is not optional.
Built by Dan Washusen at reactive.org enterprises.
INSTALL
Two lines in Claude Code.
Then run setup — it detects your lint, test and build commands and writes the gates the pipeline reads.
