This repository is a working web application that is built, reviewed, and merged almost entirely by AI coding agents. Humans do two things: file issues and promote releases. Everything in between - triage, implementation, code review, testing, merging - is handled by Archon workflows running on a cron. Two honest caveats, because they are the design and not an asterisk. This runs at level 4, not level 5 : the factory does not write its own issues. And there is a deliberate human-authored perimeter it is never allowed to touch - auth, rate limiting, the deploy configs, and the three governance files that define its own rules. The list is in FACTORY RULES.md , and a PR touching any of it is auto-rejected before anything else is evaluated. An autonomous system is only as trustworthy as the things it cannot change about itself. The application itself is a dark-mode AI chat app that lets you have grounded conversations about a creator's YouTube videos, with cited answers pulled from transcript passages. But the real point of this repo is the factory that builds it. --- The Dark Factory The term \"Dark Factory\" comes from Dan Shapiro (Glowforge), inspired by FANUC's 1980s lights-out robotics plants where robots built robots 24/7 with no humans on the floor. Applied to software: specs go in, software comes out. This repo is a live attempt at that pattern, and it uses GitHub itself as the shared state","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/coleam00","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/coleam00/dark-factory-experiment/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
