Astound Digital's dev factory is a governed software factory built on the systemprompt.io library. Agents take well-specified work from issue to pull request, people decide at every point where judgement matters, and every model call, tool call and decision is recorded with its cost.
It is early. One workflow ships (core-dev), it has been exercised end to end
against a stand-in for the model only, connectors are off until configured, and
governance runs in warn mode. Direction and priorities within each North Star
belong to its owner; the roadmap states what exists,
what is being built and what is parked.
Run it
- Local setup: a working instance with no provider keys
- Deploy on GCP: VM and GKE
- Admin console reference
- Services configuration tree
- CLI reference
- Scheduled jobs
Agentic flows
- Workflows: declaring one, step kinds, decisions, running core-dev
- Workflow orchestration: the engine underneath
- Agent runs from Claude Code: runs, facts and usage
- Artifacts and the tool-call ledger
Rich context
- The brain: facts, recall and the console
- Connectors: what ships and how to enable each
- Drive: shared documents for people and agents
- Skills: authoring and lifecycle
Measurement and reporting
- Measurement: what is recorded, reports, exports, long-term history
- Dashboard
- Export telemetry (OTLP)
- Data retention
- Data retention and durability policy
Governance and access
- Governance modes: the chain, warn and enforce
- Access control: who reaches what, and why
- Users, roles and access
- Authentication and Set up SSO (AD FS)
