Trying the software factory pattern

    So I ended up doing something similar:

    - Create a Git Hub project board for issues

    - Connect Grok to the above

    - Use Grok voice mode to take ideas, have Grok refine them with me and then save them as issues

    - Created slash commands in OpenCode like /ni (new issue), /do (do an issue), /curr (what is the current issue), /done (self explanatory)

    - I generally tell the OpenCode instance to /do <number> and then off it goes

    This give me several benefits:

    - I can use Grok Voice while walking or driving to develop and test ideas

    - I can lose my entire local OpenCode setup but still have relevant data in the issues

    - multiple machines can read from GitHub

    - I could go even further and have separate user accounts for each of my bots.

    Having been both a PM, dev, SRE and manager, this really does feel like managing a team of devs.

      I've done the same but using Notion, and I've found really interesting to let the agents write a small "Dev Blog" post on a Notion page with what they built in the sessions, with screenshots, videos etc.

      Also working with parallel sandboxes is a must: I use a manger session that read/write the issues from Notion and dispatch them to workers, it handles similar work to the same box to minimize merge conflicts.

      PS: I'm using AgentBox for this (discl: I'm the author, free OSS): npm -g i @madarco/agentbox but now also Claude is releasing Projects (still rolling out) and Cursor had cloud agents for a while
