Demo — Claude plans, the portal builds

A real, unedited recording of AIFactory taking three GitHub issues from backlog to merge-ready PR. One developer + Claude → autonomous build pipeline. No cuts.

Watch the demo​

Full lifecycle — task added → built → review gate (one continuous run)​

A single, unedited run captured straight from the portal: a developer adds a task, AIFactory's planner / coder / QA pipeline builds it across the kanban columns, and it lands at the Human Review gate with a merge-ready diff and a one-click Merge to main. Along the way it opens the in-browser terminal and runs real git commands in the agent's workspace. The build itself takes ~9 minutes — the intro and review gate play at real speed; the build middle is time-compressed.

Terminal — clone → /handover → PR (45 seconds)​

A 60-second walkthrough of the handover workflow narrated over a real completed agent run. Clone the demo repo, file a GitHub issue, type /handover in Claude Code, watch AIFactory's planner / coder / QA pipeline land at a merge-ready branch. Every JSON / markdown shown was produced by an actual agent run — the recording just compresses the timeline.

Browser — the portal picking up the work​

A 55-second walkthrough of the same lifecycle from the portal side. You see the kanban board, click + Task to create a new spec from a description, watch it land in Backlog, then jump into the completed Quick-Start task to tour what an autonomous run leaves behind: 3 of 3 subtasks green-checkmarked, the agent's narration log, and the file diff a reviewer would land on. Same flow the /handover skill triggers, seen from the operator's seat.

Hand it off — the /handover command​

The whole loop starts with one command. In a Claude Code session in your repo, type /handover with a one-line task. The skill matches your AIFactory project, creates the task, and hands it to the autonomous pipeline — then you go do something else.

Finish it — open the PR when AIFactory is done​

When the build lands at Human Review, you have a merge-ready diff. Click Create PR and AIFactory pushes the worktree branch and opens a GitHub pull request — the developer's one-click finish.

Run the demo yourself​

The repo ships with scripts/demo.sh — a Bash script that walks the full flow against a fixed public sample repo (olafkfreund/aifactory-demo):

  1. Seed the demo repo with 3 GitHub issues
  2. Register the repo with your local portal
  3. Import the issues into the backlog as tasks
  4. Show the portal picks them up automatically
  5. Drive Claude Code from the terminal to refine a spec, watch the portal reflect it
  6. Kick off an autonomous build via the portal, watch the agent run in the Live Console

Prerequisites​

  • The portal running locally (see Getting Started)
  • gh CLI authenticated (gh auth status)
  • jq installed (brew install jq / apt-get install jq)

Run​

./scripts/demo.sh

Each step prints a banner and waits for you to press Enter. Pass --yolo to run uninterrupted:

./scripts/demo.sh --yolo

Tear-down​

The script doesn't unregister the project from your local portal — close the demo task and remove the project from the Welcome screen if you don't want it lingering.
