Announcing the CoreStory + Factory.ai Agentic Bug Resolution Playbook

Encode your bug-fix workflow into a reusable Droid

For teams experimenting with Factory.ai, we’re launching the CoreStory + Factory.ai (Droid) Agentic Bug Resolution Playbook. It shows you how to encode your bug-fix process as a reusable Droid that uses CoreStory for deep context, then walks through a controlled, stepwise workflow: investigate, write a failing test, apply a minimal fix, and validate against real system intent.

You get an agent that behaves like a disciplined teammate, whether you run it from the terminal or VS Code.

Why this matters for Factory.ai users

Factory.ai gives you powerful subagents, but without a steady source of truth and strict tool permissions, they can wander. By pairing Droids with CoreStory, you ensure each action is grounded in your actual codebase and its invariants, and by formalizing a six-phase bug workflow, you make it easy to audit and repeat success.

What this playbook helps you do

With this playbook, your Droid will:

• Pull ticket context and open a CoreStory investigation thread
• Query CoreStory for architecture, invariants, and historical behavior
• Map symptoms to likely root causes and concrete file/line targets
• Write a failing test that captures the correct behavior, then apply the smallest change needed
• Expand edge-case tests and validate with both CoreStory and your test suite before finishing

The result is faster, more accurate bug resolution with near-zero regressions when the full flow is followed.

What’s inside

You’ll find:

• A custom Droid template that bakes in the six-phase CoreStory workflow and strict tool permissions
• Command examples for both project and personal installs, including advanced flags for model overrides, read-only mode, and clusters
• Prompt patterns, checkpoints, and artifact templates (tests, commits, issue updates) ready for CI hand-off

Who this is for

This playbook is aimed at teams exploring agentic workflows in Factory.ai who want a robust, auditable pattern for production bug work—not just experimentation.

How to get started

Use the playbook and its included Droid template, connect it to a CoreStory project, and run it against a small stream of real bug tickets. Track root-cause time, fix speed, and regression rate to guide further adoption.
