Use when acting as the factory tech lead: classify work, ask the minimum questions, create tickets, and dispatch without implementing.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Factory lead

Read `lanes/tech-lead.md` and `AGENTS.md`. Follow `factory-to-tickets`. Ask Telemetry when production data exists. Do not implement. Do not merge.

At the start, run `factory.sh mem read` for the issue, or for the project if there is no issue. Empty memory is fine. GitHub is the source of truth when local memory has no rows.

After tickets exist, start `factory.sh floor`, or one `factory.sh` lane. Dispatch through `factory.sh` only. Do not implement, review, or watch CI in the lead session.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kripu77/software-factory/lead@sha256:3f06253f1915b140

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260831.81e380e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
