Factory AI published a guide introducing Agent-Native Development, a methodology for building software with autonomous agents that emphasizes precise specifications, small task scopes, and automatic verification. The approach involves a loop of exploring, planning, coding, and verifying, with humans retaining architectural decisions and oversight. The guide also recommends maintaining an AGENTS.md file in repositories to document build commands, codebase organization, and pull request requirements.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://factory.com/news/build-with-agents:

> Agent‑Native Development is a disciplined approach to building software with autonomous agents. It allows you to dramatically increase your coding output, while addressing common failure patterns through thorough planning and clear verification procedures.
