Claude Code tutorial: build a software factory

This tutorial builds a software factory inside an existing website repository with Claude Code. A specification agent hands work to a builder, then separate agents review security, UX, UI design and code. An approver either merges the feature or requests human review. The presenter uses Opus and Sonnet, identified as version 5.5 at filming, and starts the setup with Opus at high effort. Anthropic sponsored the video.

A project skill coordinates the workflow, while Markdown files hold job state and populate a dashboard. The first demonstration changes course pages so that only videos remain paywalled. The factory initially refuses to start because the working tree is dirty. After committing the setup, the presenter runs the job and approves its merge through the skill.

The tutorial then adds Git worktrees and runs three website features in parallel. It also exposes merge blockers: backlog edits trigger the clean-checkout rule, and subsequent factory changes hold up another merge. The presenter adjusts the rules and commits the changes before proceeding.

This coding assistant workflow uses the presenter's Claude plan rather than API tokens. He cautions that subagents increase token costs. Job metadata is ignored by Git, so a fresh clone would need a separate backup to recover it. GitHub issue intake and Sentry monitoring are proposed extensions, not demonstrated integrations.
