Agent Skill
Install and use the 8090 Software Factory agent skill to execute work orders consistently.
Agent skills are modular bundles of instructions, scripts, and resources that an agent can load at runtime to perform specific tasks with the right procedures and context.
The 8090 Software Factory agent skill gives agents the information they need to use the platform effectively and execute Work Orders consistently. This only works once you've connected your coding agent to 8090 Software Factory with MCP.
Connect MCP before installing the skill
The skill provides the workflow, while MCP provides access to your 8090 Software Factory project. Complete the MCP connection first so the agent can read requirements, blueprints, and work orders.
Install and use the skill
Install the skill
Run this command in your terminal:
npx skills add 8090-inc/software-factory-pluginTo have your coding agent install it instead, use Copy Prompt on the Install the Software Factory skill item in Quick Start, then paste the prompt into your agent.
Invoke the skill
In Cursor, invoke it explicitly with /software-factory. For other agents, reference 8090 Software Factory, a requirement, a blueprint, or a work order in your prompt. The agent loads the related process and context when needed.
Execute a work order
Give the agent a work order number or link and ask it to use the 8090 Software Factory skill to execute it. The skill guides the agent through reading related requirements and blueprints, planning, implementation, and verification.
Execution state
When the agent starts a work order, it creates a scratch/wo-execution/WO-<number>/ folder. While it works, it keeps its progress in four files: implementation-plan.md, checklist.md, context.md, and verification-log.md.
The folder gives the agent one place to track what it read, what it plans to change, what it changed, what it reviewed, and how it verified the work. That makes the work order easier to resume, inspect, and review after the implementation is done.
