> Claude/Codex skill by [@warpdotdev](https://omgskills.com/library/warpdotdev/index.md) · 66k stars · Updated 2026-10-29

Create and edit file-based Warp software factory definitions, in a repository tree rooted at a factory.yaml. Use when authoring or changing that factory.yaml, Agent, Automation, Scorer, Benchmark, Runner, or Webhook files under that root, or its factory and agent skill trees, and when fixing Factory file diagnostics. Do not use for agent-definition Markdown that belongs to another tool, for a tree with no factory.yaml, or to operate a live factory or hand work to one through Factory MCP.

## From README

Factory Files A software factory can be defined by files in a repository. This skill covers authoring and editing those files, and validating them before you open a pull request. warp-server owns the format. It publishes the schema for each version it supports and validates a tree with the same parser the apply path uses. This skill carries no copy of the format: a copy ships inside a Warp release, goes stale against the server, and then reports confident, wrong diagnostics. When the server cannot be reached, the answer is that the tree was not checked. Use this skill for repository files. It is not the skill for operating a live factory: use factory-mcp to send work to a factory, inspect task status, or pull a task down locally. Playbooks under a factory's own skills/ directories tell that factory's agents how to do their job; editing one is a prompt change, not a schema change, so this skill's rules do not apply to their contents.
