Factory infrastructure

Capability is what the factory keeps.

Reusable knowledge and production systems reduce repeated setup, preserve consequential decisions, and give the next build a stronger starting point.

Capability index

Source → validate → adapt → reuse

Each entry names the problem it solves, its current maintenance state, and the evidence available in the repository.

01 Capability Maintained

Engineering teams that need reusable agent knowledge without maintaining a separate source for every harness.

Kanon

A canonical knowledge-artifact system that validates and compiles skills, rules, workflows, agents, and prompts for multiple AI coding harnesses.

Factory contribution

Makes production knowledge portable: author once, validate centrally, and adapt to each agent environment without duplicating the source.

Origin

Thinking Sage · Context Bazaar

Role

Core factory capability and open-source platform

02 Capability Building

Teams that need consequential technical decisions to remain visible to both people and agents.

ADR Power

A portable agent capability for creating, reviewing, cross-referencing, and maintaining architecture decision records inside a codebase.

Factory contribution

Turns architecture history into active production context, so later human and agent work can understand why the system has its current shape.

Role

Source capability compiled and distributed through Kanon

03 Capability Maintained

Writers and publishing professionals who need repeatable, inspectable AI-assisted craft workflows.

Byron Powers

A library of literary and publishing workflows for novelists, technical authors, agents, publicists, and proofreaders.

Factory contribution

Proved that the same canonical capability model can preserve deep domain workflows beyond software engineering.

Origin

Thinking Sage · creative tooling

Role

Source library compiled as a Kanon collection

Confirmed reuse

The capability becomes real on its second build.

ADR Power

The source capability is compiled as a canonical ADR artifact inside Kanon, with workflows, hooks, and evaluations.
