ai-factory
You want to build with AI, but setting up the right context, prompts, and workflows takes time. AI Factory handles all of that so you can focus on what matters — shipping quality code.
AI Factory is a comprehensive skill package that equips AI coding agents with structured development workflows through slash-commands like /aif-plan, /aif-implement, and /aif-fix. It eliminates manual configuration by automatically installing relevant skills, setting up MCP integrations, and establishing best-practice workflows for logging, commits, and code review. Compatible with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, and many other AI agents, it enables spec-driven development where AI follows structured plans rather than random exploration. The tool includes a CLI for initialization and management, plus optional standalone skill installation via the skills.sh marketplace.

ai-factory — FAQ
What is AI Factory?+
AI Factory is a skill package and CLI tool that provides AI coding agents with structured development workflows through slash-commands like /aif-plan and /aif-implement. It handles context setup, prompt configuration, and best-practice workflows so developers can focus on shipping code rather than configuring AI environments.
How do I install AI Factory?+
Install globally via npm with 'npm install -g ai-factory', then run 'ai-factory init' in your project directory. You can also install via mise with 'mise use -g npm:ai-factory', or install only the skills via 'npx skills add lee-to/ai-factory --skill "*"' for a skills-only setup.
Which AI agents work with AI Factory?+
AI Factory supports Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Roo Code, Kilo Code, Antigravity, OpenCode, Warp, Zencoder, Codex CLI, Codex app, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Junie, and Qwen Code, among others. The init command detects your agent and configures skills accordingly.
Do I need API keys or credentials?+
AI Factory itself does not require API keys. However, MCP servers you configure during initialization (like GitHub or Playwright integrations) may require their own credentials. The interactive wizard will prompt you for necessary configuration during setup.
Is AI Factory free to use?+
Yes, AI Factory is open-source software released under the MIT License and available for free. You can install it via npm and use all features without cost.
What's the difference between full installation and skills-only installation?+
Full npm installation provides the CLI commands (ai-factory init/update/upgrade), MCP auto-configuration, agent transformers, and the interactive wizard. Skills-only installation via 'npx skills add' gives you just the /aif-* slash commands without CLI tooling or automatic setup features.
