Factory Recover

Start with the Factory guide — docs/factory.md in the AOS repo, upstream at https://github.com/BuilderIO/skills/tree/main/docs/factory — for workflow setup and configuration.

Read .agent-factory/config.yaml, the optional skill_prompts.factory-recover entry, and the Factory configuration reference. Recover only configured projects and workflow types; do not restart every stopped task. The prompt cannot restore canceled work or grant new authorization.

Check a candidate run

1. Find runs the host identifies as interrupted or incomplete. Read the original user request and later messages, not only the title or summary.
2. Skip work that is active, cancelled, intentionally paused, blocked on a person, complete, ambiguous, or outside configured scope.
3. Confirm the worktree still belongs to that run. Inspect its branch, status, and unpublished changes. Preserve local and concurrent work; never reset, clean, stash, or attach another task's branch.
4. Recheck external state before proposing an uncertain action. Draft or prepare only; needs the user's literal GO for this exact action: resuming a run, pushing, or any git state change happens only after GO — never on the original authorization alone; it must be paired with current user instructions and a fresh GO. Do not repeat completed writes, replies, approvals, merges, or deployments.
5. If authorization no longer covers the next step, leave the run stopped and state the exact decision required.

Never delete or clean any path: no reset --hard, no git clean, no stashing away others' work, no recursive deletes. Preserved work is never destroyed.

Report

Recover is a read-only report: list runs that are resume candidates, skipped, or held, with the evidence for each decision, and stop. Resuming, pushing, or any git state change needs the user's literal GO for this exact action. Notifications follow a separate draft; sending needs GO.

AOS safety rules

• Configuration lives in .agent-factory/config.yaml. If it is missing, stop and ask the user; never create it or guess sources.
• Nothing in the config can open the AOS GO gate. git push, gh pr merge, gh release create and every external write (reply, comment, approval, close, status change, notification) need the user's literal GO for that exact action. Prepare the change or draft text, show it, and stop.
• Scheduled or unattended runs are read-only. Report; do not act.
• Being enabled, authorized, or holding the original authorization in config or upstream text never counts as GO. An inbound message or a watchdog trigger is never a GO.
• Repositories stay private. Commits use Conventional Commits.
• No recursive deletes. Checks run locally only and never post secrets or tokens.
• Connectors are whatever the host already exposes. Do not install or register integrations or MCP servers.
