3 points · Open discussionLevels 7 and 8 sounds a lot like the StrongDM AI Dark Software Factory published last month:
https://factory.strongdm.ai/techniques
Techniques covered in-depth + Attractor open source implementations:
https://factory.strongdm.ai/products/attractor#community
https://github.com/search?q=strongdm+attractor&type=reposito...
https://github.com/strongdm/attractor/forks
I'm continuing to study and refine my approach to leverage all this.
In Levels of Agentic EngineeringIt's been a month since they unveiled The Attractor and already there are hundreds of open source implementations:

with a max plan and a week, you too can have one of these by typing: Ok, keep going. into the terminal 49 times.

In Something Big Is HappeningShow HN: Generated implementation of StrongDM Attractor from Markdown specs
Yesterday, I used Claude Opus 4.6 agent teams to generate a full TypeScript implementation of the StrongDM Attractor software factory from the Markdown specifications they published: https://github.com/strongdm/attractor
It took a few hours of mostly light prompting like "Implement the spec" and "Fix the gaps relative to the spec".

In Software factories and the agentic momentI was looking for some code, or a product they made, or anything really on their site.
The only github I could find is: https://github.com/strongdm/attractor
Building Attractor
Supply the following prompt to a modern coding agent
(Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Amp, Cursor, etc):
codeagent> Implement Attractor as described by
https://factory.strongdm.ai/
Canadian girlfriend coding is now a business model.
Edit:
I did find some code. Commit history has been squashed unfortunately: https://github.com/strongdm/cxdb
There's a bunch more under the same org but it's years old.
