Without a software factory: Your team already uses coding agents. Do you need a software factory?
Most developers now work with a coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, and each agent is good at the task in front of it. A software factory makes the team's agents better together, because every task starts from what the team has already learned.
Starts every task from what the team already knows
Without shared context, an agent session starts with the code and whatever the developer remembers to explain. With Markbase, every agent starts from the team's decisions, skills and history, so nobody has to explain the project again. New people and their agents start from it on their first day.
Gets better with every task
Agents write down what they learn: the decision, the cause and the fix. The agent that found the cause of a bug yesterday leaves it for the one working on the same code today, on anyone's machine and in any agent the team uses. The team stops paying for the same discovery twice.
Runs repeated work on its own
Some work comes round again and again, such as investigating an alert, sorting new bug reports or checking dependencies every Monday. Markbase can start an agent for each of these without anyone typing a prompt, and that agent works from the same context as everyone else, on your own machines.

When you don't need one yet
If one or two people work on the code and talk every day, a good instructions file in the repository may be all you need. A software factory pays off once knowledge has to pass between people, agents and weeks of work.

| Agents on their own | Markbase | |
|---|---|---|
| A new task starts from | The code and the prompt | The team's decisions, skills and history |
| What an agent learns | Stays in its session | Reaches every agent on the team |
| Repeated work | Someone starts it each time | Starts from mentions, alerts, email and schedules |
| Which agent | Each developer's choice | Still each developer's choice |
