Rust CLI that turns a team's coding rules into checks that fail when agent-written code breaks them.

## Overview

software-factory is an open-source command-line tool written in Rust. It turns a team’s coding rules into checks that fail when code written by an agent breaks them.

It includes about 35 rules across seven layers, plus an evidence gate that re-checks test reports so an agent cannot simply claim its code works. The aim is to make approving agent-written pull requests safer. It is a personal open-source project with no commercial offering.

## Features

* Turns team coding rules into automated checks.
* Ships about 35 rules across seven layers.
* Evidence gate re-checks test reports so agents cannot just claim code works.
* Includes Ruby support.
