App Factory

App Factory is a coding agent plugin collection that builds, describes, ships, and announces applications across multiple platforms.

App Factory is a collection of forty-two skills built as Claude Code plugins that manage the software release lifecycle for applications. It divides tasks into specialized tracks covering Apple, Android, web, Windows, capacitor, design, shared, announce, and setup functions. The system uses executors to perform specific actions like building binaries and orchestrators to sequence multi-step release processes. It runs command-line scripts and reads local credentials without storing or printing them. The tools require specific local dependencies such as Xcode, JDK, or fastlane depending on the individual skill.
