## What it does

This skill turns `mastra api factory` into the control plane for Factory. The agent inspects project state, work items, metrics, thresholds, decisions and supervisor health, then reports what is active, queued, blocked, which sessions are running and which decision needs a human.

Read-only is the default. Before any mutation the skill establishes your operating scope, which may cover a single action or grant standing autonomy over named projects and action types. Inside a clear scope the agent acts without asking before every change. It fetches current state first, makes the smallest in-scope change, then refetches and reports IDs, revisions and the final state.

Start with `references/connection.md`: check that the CLI is available and pin down your actual Factory URL. Platform-hosted deployments use `mastra auth whoami`, and if you are logged out the skill offers `mastra auth login` instead of silently opening a browser. Local and self-hosted authentication can differ. Stage changes go through transitions rather than metadata updates, and each one needs the current revision plus a fresh UUID request ID. The skill never reads `.env`, bearer tokens or saved login contents, never invents IDs or sessions, and never reaches for private HTTP routes to work around the CLI.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mastra-ai/skills --skill mastra-factory -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/mastra-factory/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/mastra-factory/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mastra-ai/skills --skill mastra-factory -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/mastra-factory/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mastra-ai/skills --skill mastra-factory -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/mastra-factory/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install mastra-ai/skills mastra-factory
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/mastra-factory/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mastra-ai/skills --skill mastra-factory -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/mastra-ai/skills --path skills/mastra-factory
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/mastra-factory/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mastra-ai/skills --skill mastra-factory -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- see what is running and what is queued
- find blocked or unhealthy work items
- review thread history and current agent memory
- pull metrics, thresholds and decisions into one report
- run a Factory operation within granted authority

## Example prompts
- Connect to my Mastra Factory and show the project status
- Which work items are blocked and which decisions are waiting on me?
- Show the thread history and memory for this work item

# Mastra Factory Supervisor

Use `mastra api factory` as the operational control plane for Factory.

## First use: connect before inspecting

Read [`references/connection.md`](references/connection.md). Check CLI availability, establish the user's actual Factory URL, and for platform-hosted deployments run `mastra auth whoami`. If logged out, offer `mastra auth login` rather than silently starting browser login. Local/self-hosted authentication may differ.

An explicit `mastra api --url "$FACTORY_URL" factory project list` works from an empty directory; no deployed repository or `.mastra-project.json` is required. Never assume a shared host, organization, project name, or ID. Preserve the explicit target on subsequent commands.

## Default behavior

For status, inspection, diagnosis, queue review, or recommendation requests:

1. Stay read-only.
2. Select the sole or explicitly named project; report choices when ambiguous.
3. Inspect project state, work items, metrics, thresholds, decisions, attention, and supervisor health/session.
4. Correlate stages, revisions, sessions, decisions, and health findings.
5. Report active/queued work, blocked or unhealthy items, running sessions, pending decisions, human attention, and one recommended next action.
6. Execute a recommendation only when the current request or a previously granted operating scope authorizes it.

## Required reference

Read [`references/factory-supervisor.md`](references/factory-supervisor.md) before running Factory commands for output control, contracts, the read-only workflow, mutation protocol, governance constraints, durable-session limitations, and error handling.

For “my work,” actual execution progress, thread messages, memory, or health interpretation, also read [`references/session-inspection.md`](references/session-inspection.md). Distinguish card stages from running agents, historical messages from current memory, and agent claims from verified repository outcomes.

## Safety boundary
