Getting Started

App Factory transforms your idea into a complete, production-ready application using six specialized builders. This guide covers everything you need to know.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

  • Claude Code - App Factory runs as Claude Code (Opus 4.5) in agent-native mode
  • Node.js 18+ - Required for running all generated applications
  • Platform-specific tools - Expo CLI for mobile apps, Vercel for websites/mini apps, wallets for Web3

Installation

Clone the App Factory repository and open it in Claude Code.

1

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/MeltedMindz/AppFactory.git cd AppFactory

Then navigate to your desired builder: app-factory, dapp-factory, agent-factory, plugin-factory, miniapp-pipeline, or website-pipeline.

2

Open with Claude Code

Open the repository in Claude Code. Claude reads the CLAUDE.md control plane automatically and understands the entire pipeline.

Building Your App

Just describe the app you want to build. App Factory handles everything else.
