Value: Flow -- continuous, gated progression from slice to shipped code eliminates idle coordination overhead and makes quality evidence accumulate automatically.
Orchestrates the build phase end-to-end: takes vertical slices from the queue, dispatches TDD pairs, runs full-team code review before push, enforces mutation testing and CI gates, and merges or escalates. The pipeline controller handles all operational tasks (running tests, pushing code, managing git) so team member
The pipeline reads vertical slices from event model output and maintains their state in .factory/slice-queue.json. See references/slice-queue.md for the full queue schema and operations.
Autonomous build-phase orchestrator. Manages slice queue, TDD pair dispatch, full-team code review, mutation testing, CI integration, and auto-merge with quality gates. Replaces manual coordinator overhead during build phase. Activate when running factory mode with ensemble-team. Source: jwilger/agent-skills.
