Factory manager for ready specs on flow-next 5.4: /flow conductor (attended) and flow --auto (unattended) through draft PR and land. Idle while ready work exists is the failure mode. Empty inbox is quiet.

Skills18Playbooks it can run
easy-install
First-run setup for the factory manager bot. Pick repo, require flow-next ≥5.0 with /flow-next:flow (prefer 5.4.0), choose trigger and harness, enable mode skills.
owner-config
Use when the owner clarifies how this bot should run. Store standing preferences and learnings in the bot's own memory. Preference store only, not factory modes (harness, land, local take-over). Leave the description frozen.
factory-coordinator
Thin factory orchestrator. Classify from git, lease/cap/hang-check, dispatch /flow-next:flow --auto for ready specs.
factory-harness
Cloud Agents vs CLI, done-signals, Task-wrap. Named jobs may be a single /flow-next:flow --auto.
factory-land
Land after draft PR / DEFERRED_TO_LAND. Prefer flow --auto --until=merge when ≥5.2.
factory-local-takeover
Use when the owner asks you to take over, keep going, watch, or notify when locally running agent work is done (Herdr, local CLI, an already-running agent), usually while they are away. Shipped capability, not owner-config. Never arm pane waits while they are at the keyboard.
Factory commands
Front door for short owner commands (/go, /take, /hand-to-forge, /hand-to-herdr, /arm, /unarm, /land, /status, /handover) or matching natural language. Route to the right mode skill. Mentions /flow as attended conductor.
handover
Intake for /handover, /go, or a pasted Herdr target, GitHub URL, repo, or spec. Resolve what and where, then dispatch the matching mode skill. Command table lives in factory-commands.
go
Use when the owner runs /go, says keep shipping, or pastes a branch, PR, or spec for the factory.
take
Use when the owner runs /take or asks to take over, keep going, watch, or notify when local / Herdr agents are done.
arm
Use when the owner runs /arm, says away, or factory-mode on. Gate on, resume the Herdr done-webhook, Task-wrap waits for live panes.
unarm
Use when the owner runs /unarm, says they're back, or at keyboard. Gate off, pause the Herdr done-webhook, stop pane waits.
land
Use when the owner runs /land or asks to babysit or fix CI and review on an open PR.
status
Use when the owner runs /status or asks for the factory / Herdr board snapshot.
hand-to-forge
Use when the owner runs /hand-to-forge or wants Herdr work continued on Forge with Claude CLI.
hand-to-herdr
Use when the owner runs /hand-to-herdr or wants Forge work handed back to local Herdr to steer.
Herdr to Forge Claude handoff
Use when moving a Herdr pane stream off the Herdr host onto Forge with Claude CLI (Opus default), not Cloud Agents. Close Herdr cleanly, snapshot, continue Task-wrapped.
Forge to Herdr handoff
Use when handing a Forge / Claude CLI stream back to Herdr on the Herdr host so the owner can steer locally. Sync branch, prompt the pane, leave factory-mode off at the keyboard.
