Prepare the repository
Give agents the context to work: repository instructions, reproducible environments, scoped permissions, and clear definitions of done.

DeHovitz Engineering / Managed software delivery
A software factory.
Built for your team.
A managed approach to AI assisted software delivery for small engineering teams. Bring a scoped backlog; define the workflow, checks, and review responsibilities together.
Managed delivery · Agent workflows · Human review
From issue to reviewed change
Proposed workflow- 01 / DefineScoped issue
Requirements and acceptance criteria
- 02 / BuildAgent implementation
Isolated changes in a branch
- 03 / VerifyAutomated checks
Tests, lint, and task specific evaluation
- 04 / ReviewEngineer approval
Inspect the diff before merging
Failed checks or unclear requirements return to an engineer for investigation.
The approach
Make the workflow repeatable.
Start with one repository and a bounded class of work: routine fixes, test coverage, or small internal features. Expand based on observed results.
Connect the delivery workflow
Create a repeatable path from a scoped issue to a pull request, with automated checks and an engineer responsible for review.
Issue templates, agent workflow, and CI checks
Measure what works
Evaluate representative tasks and track review effort, test results, model cost, and where human intervention is needed.
Evaluation report and handoff documentation
Start with a scoped trial
One repo. One workflow.
A useful handoff.
Discuss a trial around one repository and a small set of representative tasks. Scope, access, deliverables, and review responsibilities are agreed before work begins.
- Understand the baseline
Walk through the current delivery process and choose representative tasks.
- Configure and exercise the workflow
Set up agent context and checks, then inspect the results together.
- Review results and the next step
Review the changes, intervention points, and costs. Decide whether an ongoing managed workflow fits your team.
Practical questions
Designed around engineering judgment.
What does “software factory” mean here?
A documented workflow for turning defined tasks into tested, reviewed software changes. It combines agent tooling, repository context, CI, and explicit human ownership.
Where does Claude fit?
Claude Code can support implementation and investigation. The setup also defines the context, permissions, verification, and review needed around that work. Tool choices depend on your environment.
How would we know it is helping?
Compare representative tasks against your baseline. Look at usable changes, time spent reviewing and correcting them, checks passed, and cost per task.
