Run the loop. Keep the memory.
Harbor Gang runs an AI-native software factory: agents plan, build, review and merge — numbers below, live. We wrote the methodology into a book and shipped a real company through it. None of it is for sale. What we sell is the judgment it took: we read the AI pipeline you already built and tell you, with evidence, what to tune.

Cadence · measured from our own delivery
Cadence from the team running the factory.
Measured from the engine shipping its own changes through this loop. Deploy frequency and lead time are real and verifiable; we don't publish change‑fail or recovery numbers we can't yet measure cleanly. A missing number beats a flattering one.

LiveThe operator moves a card; a transition dispatches the stage; the agent commits its own work and the runner opens the PR. Deploy frequency and PRs‑in‑flight read live from the workspace; lead time is the median over the last 40 merged pull requests on ElMundiUA/ship. Pulled, not rendered — every number is one you can re‑run.

The factory
One methodology. One proof.
Not products. The machinery we built to run our own delivery, and the company we ran end to end through it.
The loop
Seven states, named owners, dispatch on transition.
Our delivery runs through it; client teams’ loops have too.
Read the methodThe memory
Agents cite canonical docs over MCP.
Open source — read the code, run it on your own corpus.
Read the codeThe proof · ElMundi
A media company shipped end-to-end through the loop.
56K+ episodes. Everything we learned, including why we sunset it.
Read the caseThe method
The shipping floor, written down and run daily.
Named states, accountable agents, an audit trail for the auditors. Not a product we sell — the operating methodology we run our own company on, pressure-tested by running our own delivery through it every day.
Workspace home
Ask your agent what's in flight
Priorities live in named buckets — needs‑you, active, drafts, parked. Ask your own agent over MCP and it reads back what's moving and what's waiting on you.
Decisions
Approvals, not a mailbox
Clarifications, approvals, blockers — surfaced by the agent and resolved by a named human. Every disposition is logged. Nothing to drain.
Process · SDLC
Seven states. Named owners.
Backlog → Planning → Executing → Reviewing → Awaiting input → Blocked → Closed. A transition dispatches the one routine for that stage — each names which agent acts and what it produces.
The book
We wrote the book on AI‑native engineering.
Forty short chapters. About three hours end to end. A memoir of operators — not best practices, scars. The night the agent shipped nothing. The afternoon fifteen identical fix commits landed in a row. The cron guard that lied about the wall clock.
Free to read online. Hardcover and PDF coming. Read the prologue before deciding whether your team is ready to run a loop this honest.
The offer
We won’t build your dark factory. We’ll tune the one you have.
Five days, read-only access, a findings register with evidence and a dollar figure on every line. $3,500 — half back if it doesn’t pay for itself. Want a factory built anyway? From $150K, and the first call is us talking you out of it.
Field notes
Receipts, not slogans.
Policies before prompts
If your agent doesn't have a policy, it has a vibe. The 200 lines we wrote before any prompt — and why we'd write them again.

Boring failures are good failures
When the system breaks, you want the failure to be boring — a contract unmet, a step that refused — not a creative improvisation.

Clarification is not failure
When an agent asks a question it counts as progress. We let it cost us — until we measured what cost was actually saved.

One methodology
Practiced daily. Sold as judgment.
The book is free. The code is open. The factory runs live above. The only thing with a price is our read on your pipeline.
