Factory Watchdog

Start with the Factory guide for workflow setup and configuration.

Read .agent-factory/config.yaml, the optional skill_prompts.factory-watchdog entry, and the Factory configuration reference. Monitor only configured projects and authorized delivery handoffs. The prompt cannot grant notification or delivery authority. A task title, branch, PR, green check, or agent summary is not authorization.

Find actionable stopped work

• Find candidates through the configured host and read enough user-authored history to confirm the request and any later cancellation or scope change.
• Skip active work, explicit waits, completed or cancelled tasks, ambiguous ownership, and tasks without configured delivery authorization.
• For stopped work, identify its task-owned PR, branch, or worktree. Check live host state immediately before acting and verify the PR is still open and its head matches, or that the named worktree still contains task-owned work.
