Set up an OpenHands "software factory" on GitHub fast: ask only for the repositories and where tickets live (GitHub issues, Jira or Linear), create a working issue-to-PR and PR-review pipeline from the automation catalog with defaults, show what runs, then let the user stop or extend it one step at a time (tune settings, AGENTS.md maintainer, auto-merge, stale-CI and QA add-ons).
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
# Software Factory Build a GitHub software factory from the automation plugin specs in `plugins/<id>/.plugin/plugin.json`, with setup defaults still read from `automations/catalog/<id>/manifest.json`; a Jira or Linear station is created by its own skill. This skill adds no automation logic. Two phases: **Phase 1** gets a working factory after one question. **Phase 2** extends it in short rounds, only as far as the user wants. After Phase 1 and after every round, the **Checkpoint** shows what exists and lets the user stop. Code lives on GitHub. Tickets can come from GitHub issues (default), Jira or Linear: only the issue to PR station changes (see "Ticket source"). GitLab and Bitbucket code hosts are not part of this flow. ## Stations | Station | Catalog id | Phase | Agent profile | |---|---|---|---| | Issue to PR | `github-issue-to-pr`, or the Jira or Linear station | 1 | `default` (GitHub issues only) | | PR reviewer | `github-pr-reviewer` | 1 | `default` | | Issue triage | `github-issue-triage`, or `linear-triage-assistant` | 1 | `default` (GitHub issues only) | | AGENTS.md maintainer | `github-agents-md-maintainer` | add-on | `default` | …

How to install
mdr add openhands/extensions/software-factory@sha256:5ed0ec8cfc08e958The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.f79208b, 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.
