Processes/💻software — the spec, build, review, ship loopsoftware

🚢Ship a feature (spec to deploy) — software processShip a feature (spec to deploy)

The whole software-making loop: spec it, track it, implement with a coding agent, open the PR, pass AI and human review, deploy through CI, and verify in production.

Agents can draft the spec, cut the issue, implement, open the PR, and deploy through CI. Human code review and the merge decision gate the loop.

How it runs

Route-coded block flow: emerald = agent, amber = manual form/portal, red = needs a human. ⏸ approval gate · ⏳ async wait.
