create-next-app energy for Software Factories

Scaffold an eve agent graph that turns intent into Work Items and gates them Ready for Handoff — for humans and Coding Agents. Not a coding harness. Not a hosted tenant. Ordinary code in your repository.

Stack Builder

Pick Install mode, Work Item Store, and Channels — same axes as the CLI Wizard. Copy a command; nothing runs in our cloud.

Factory name
Install mode
Work Item Store
Channels
eve TUI / HTTP — always included
Default roles are fixed: Root, Planner, Reviewer. The factory authors Work Items — it is not a coding harness.
Your command
npx create-betterfactory@latest my-factory -y --store github --pm npm
GitHub
  1. Run the command in your terminal (or Target Repository root).
  2. cp .env.example .env and add model + Store credentials.
  3. pnpm install && pnpm dev — talk to Root in the eve TUI.

Composable

Modules assemble from your Stack — like Better T-Stack, for factories instead of web apps.

Not a coding agent

Output is Work Items with Definition of Ready. Cursor, Grok Build, and teammates execute.
