CI and pull-request review conventions. One canonical `.github/workflows/ci.yml` is the merge gate (typecheck, lint, test, build, claude-review); branch protection's required-checks list matches the job list 1:1; `anthropics/claude-code-action@v1` reviews every PR against the `factory-pitfalls.md` checklist as a required check, not advisory. Deploy workflows live separately and never gate merge. Read at project kickoff and whenever wiring CI on a new repo.
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 CI Each section leads with **Principle** (one sentence, stack-agnostic), then **Why** (constraint → option → tradeoff), then **Recipe** (the GitHub Actions / branch protection / Claude reviewer shape we use), and **Failure mode** when there's one to name. The kit is opinionated on the recipe layer (GitHub Actions + `anthropics/claude-code-action`). A reader on GitLab / Buildkite can read the principle and skip the recipe; the merge-gate, required-check, and automated-review principles are stack-agnostic. ## One canonical workflow gates merge **Principle.** A single `.github/workflows/ci.yml` is the merge gate; nothing else gates merge; branch protection's required-checks list matches that workflow's jobs 1:1. **Why.** Multiple workflows that each "kind of" gate merge create ambiguity — when a PR is red, no one knows which job to look at, and a "flaky" job becomes optional in practice within a week. A single canonical file is the source of truth; the required-checks list is the contract with reviewers. The trade-off accepted: the single file gets longer than any individual concern's natural footprint; that's the cost of one place to look. …

How to install
mdr add nonlinear-xyz/factory-kit/factory-ci@sha256:bf2890273f391a1cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260716.517fb94, 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.
