Factory guides

Plan and configure Warp Factories, test your setup, and choose how work reaches your factory.

Configure Warp Factories for the code your team owns, verify the setup, and choose how work reaches the factory.

Start with the factory quickstart if you haven’t created a factory. It includes the access requirements and initial setup.

Define factory boundaries

Choose factory boundaries based on ownership, dependencies, permissions, and approvals. Decide which code belongs together before configuring repositories and agents.

Configure your factory

Choose the guidance that fits your codebase. You may need more than one: a web application can use microservices spread across multiple repositories.

Setting up a factory for a web application - Coordinate frontend and backend work and verify user-facing changes in a browser
Setting up a factory for a monorepo - Scope work to one product and involve shared-package owners
Setting up a factory for microservices - Provide each service’s toolchain and verify shared contracts
Coordinating changes across multiple repositories - Deliver linked pull requests with a human-controlled merge order

Test and tune

Test and tune your factory with representative tasks before expanding its workload. Use the results to adjust instructions, skills, runners, and intake.

Choose how to send work

Choose the intake your team uses. If you combine routes, test their filters for duplicate runs.

Turning a Slack mention into a pull request - Accept requests in channels and threads
Turning a Jira issue into a pull request - Route assignments and mentions from a Jira project
Turning a Linear issue into a pull request - Route delegated issues from a Linear team
Turning a GitHub issue into a pull request - Start work from labeled or assigned issues

Extend and improve

Use factory use cases to add workflows, and measure results as usage grows.
