Inside Limestone's AI Factory: the infrastructure between a ticket and a merged PR
alex_verem · x · 2026-09-02
LimestoneHQ breaks down how its "AI Factory" actually works. Their thesis: the agent loop (point an agent at a repo, hand it a ticket, get code back) is cheap to build — the real work is the factory around it that decides what the agent may touch, what survives its run, and what a human still signs. Key flow: a ticket moves to "AI: ready" as the last human step, then an orchestrator resolves repo/task context and leases a clean sandbox. The system targets the classic failure mode of code that compiles but misunderstands architecture, arriving with forty unread review comments and an invoice.
