Software Factory

Software Factory is an AI-native SDLC method for connecting product intent, technical intent, and implementation work in one traceable workflow.

This portable skill is for writing Software Factory records and executing Work Orders headlessly in any repository. It does not assume access to a hosted Software Factory service, private repository automation, or repository-specific review skills. When project tools are available, use them; otherwise, use the files and templates in this skill as the execution system of record.

Records

Requirements

Requirements describe the system from an external perspective.

• Product Overview Documents capture durable product-wide why and what: business problem, current state, product description, success metrics, technical requirements, and other framing.
• Feature Requirements Documents capture localized feature intent with user stories and acceptance criteria. User stories state who needs what and why; acceptance criteria define testable behavior.
