Factory use cases

A recipe is a recommended configuration and set of instructions for completing a specific task with your factory. It combines agents, automations, integrations, skills, and repository controls. You can start with one task and test its results before connecting it to another. For example, your team might try issue triage on its own before asking the factory to implement approved issues.

The examples use definitions as code so you can review changes, validate them in CI, and adapt the same pattern to a Warp-managed factory.

Choose a use case

Issue triageInvestigate, categorize, and prioritize incoming issues.

Code reviewReview pull requests and return actionable findings.

Issue implementationTurn approved GitHub, Linear, or Jira issues into tested pull requests.

Production incident resolutionInvestigate production signals and propose or implement a fix.

Computer Use verificationExercise a rendered interface and attach visual evidence.

End-to-end SDLC automationConnect triage, implementation, review, and verification with human gates.

Start with the smallest recipe

One factory can coordinate work across repositories that ship together. Before you add an automation, choose the event that should start work and check whether an existing automation already handles it. You can update that automation instead of adding another, or use nonoverlapping filters when you need separate automations. See automation matching rules.

Each automation needs a clear task, a responsible agent, and an expected output. For work that spans several roles, the foreman coordinates the other agents. Your skills supply repository-specific procedures, such as required test commands or an incident runbook. People remain responsible for approving specifications, accepting risk, and merging changes.
