Read excerpt

A **software factory** is a system of agents that turns tickets, PRs and schedules into merged code, deployed on remote infrastructure the user chooses. This skill is the language for designing one. Use these terms, and only these, when discussing or whiteboarding a factory; when the user reaches for a word under _Avoid_, name the canonical term.

## Tasks and runs

**Task**:
A kind of work the factory performs, defined once and run many times: review, explore, implement, ratchet. A task may work on a ticket, a PR, or the codebase as a whole.
_Avoid_: job, workflow, action

**Trigger**:
The event that starts a run: a change in the ticket tracker or git host, a clock in the orchestrator, or another run.

**Run**:
One execution of a task on one runner, from its trigger to its finish, treated as a black box. A run triggers further runs either directly, through logic in the orchestrator, or by changing the ticket tracker or git host. A run never waits for a human: it ends, and the human's later change to the ticket tracker or git host triggers a new run.
_Avoid_: session
