Why

The Factory guide currently jumps straight to the full @agent-relay/factory product (config file, factory run-once / factory start, safety scope). There was no documented minimal on-ramp — the single relayfile listen on one machine that turns a new Linear issue into a PR (the "baby steps" version we describe to design partners). This adds it.

What

A new Factory → Start → Simplest setup page (/docs/factory/simplest-setup):

  • relayfile ≥ 0.10.57, connect Linear + GitHub, with the initial-sync expectation called out (leave connect running until relayfile status shows healthy; new issues appear within ~30s).
  • The single command scoped to /linear/issues/by-uuid/** — fires once per issue, not once per materialized file (a --provider linear match would open several PRs for one issue).
  • A by-state/<status> variant for a human gate ("Ready for Agent"), plus the watch-first (relayfile listen --provider linear) command.
  • Framed as a lighter, single-agent precursor that uses local claude + gh, with links to graduate to the full quickstart (workspace GitHub connection, reviewer, merge gate).

Registered in the factory nav Start group; slug ↔ page are consistent.

Validation

Additive, pattern-matched to existing factory docs (same <Note>/<Card>/<CardGroup> components as quickstart.mdx; the docs test uses toContainEqual for the factory section, so adding a nav item is safe). Full vitest/build not run locally (fresh worktree without node_modules) — worth a CI check.

The commands mirror the verified quick-start we sent a design partner; the by-uuid single-fire behavior was measured against a live workspace (7 events on --provider linear vs 1 on by-uuid for one issue).

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Note

Low Risk
Documentation and nav-only changes with no runtime or security-sensitive code paths.

Overview
Adds a minimal Factory on-ramp doc at /docs/factory/simplest-setup for teams that want one machine and one command before the full Factory (triage, reviewer, merge gate).

The page documents prerequisites (relayfile ≥ 0.10.57, Linear/GitHub connect, local claude + gh), the relayfile listen recipe scoped to /linear/issues/by-uuid/** so the agent runs once per issue (not once per mirrored file), optional by-state/<status> gating, and a watch-only --provider linear mode. It contrasts this local path with the full quickstart and links forward to quickstart and safety scope.

Factory → Start nav in product-docs-nav.ts now includes Simplest setup so the page appears in the sidebar.

Summary by cubic

Adds a "Simplest setup" page to the Factory docs that walks through a single-command relayfile listen workflow turning a new Linear issue into a PR.

  • Scopes the listener to /linear/issues/by-uuid/** so the agent fires once per issue instead of once per materialized file.
  • Notes the initial-sync expectation on connect and the reliance on local claude and gh rather than the workspace GitHub connection.
  • Adds the page to the Factory "Start" nav group.

Written for commit 9309caf. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

The factory guide jumped straight to the full @agent-relay/factory product
(config file, run-once/start, safety scope). There was no documented minimal
on-ramp — the single `relayfile listen` on one machine that turns a new Linear
issue into a PR (the "baby steps" version).

Adds a Simplest setup page under Factory → Start covering: relayfile >= 0.10.57,
connecting Linear/GitHub (incl. the initial-sync expectation), the single
listen command scoped to /linear/issues/by-uuid/** (fires once per issue, not
once per materialized file), a by-state/<status> variant for a human gate, and
a watch-first command. Framed as a lighter, single-agent precursor that uses
local claude + gh, with links to graduate to the full quickstart (workspace
GitHub connection, reviewer, merge gate).

Adds the “Simplest setup” guide and links it under the Factory Start section. The guide covers setup requirements, Linear-to-PR execution, event scoping, status gating, watch-only mode, and related documentation.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 9309c

The new guide is not ready to publish because following it can expose repository access to malicious issue instructions and can create duplicate agent runs, branches, or pull requests after event replay.

relayfile integration connect github
```

The first `connect` runs an initial background sync of your existing issues — leave it running until `relayfile status` shows the provider `healthy`. You don't need the full backfill to finish before the next step; a *new* issue shows up within ~30s of being filed.

P1 Badge Wait for the backfill before arming the listener

On a workspace whose initial backfill is still running, following this instruction causes the subsequent file.created listener to receive newly materialized /linear/issues/by-uuid/* records for historical issues. The event contract in web/content/docs/file/events.mdx states that sync changes surface as events, so the unconditional --run can launch agents and open PRs for every old ticket still being backfilled; require backfill completion or explicitly filter initial-sync events before proceeding.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Run this from inside your repo. When a new Linear issue is filed, one agent implements it and opens a PR:

```bash
relayfile listen --path "/linear/issues/by-uuid/**" --event file.created \

P1 Badge Deduplicate replayed events before spawning agents

When delivery is retried or the listener reconnects, this direct --run can execute more than once for the same issue because Relayfile's event feed is documented as at-least-once in web/content/docs/file/events.mdx. Scoping to by-uuid prevents one issue's different alias files from matching, but it does not provide exactly-once delivery, so a replay can start another Claude process and open a duplicate PR; place a durable eventId deduplication guard in front of the agent action rather than claiming it fires once.

Make both listener workflows idempotent.

Relayfile delivers events at least once and replays missed events after reconnect. A repeated file.created event can run either command again. The path filters limit matches, but they do not deduplicate delivery. Each replay can start another agent run and PR creation. (agentrelay.com)

site:code.claude.com/docs/en/permission-modes dangerously-skip-permissions prompt injection protection sandbox

💡 Result:

The dangerously-skip-permissions mode (also known as bypassPermissions) is a configuration option in Claude Code that disables interactive permission prompts and safety checks for tool calls [1]. When enabled, tool calls execute immediately without requiring user confirmation, which removes the standard "human-in-the-loop" safeguard intended to mitigate risks like prompt injection or unintended model actions [1]. Key security implications include: 1. Absence of Protection: This mode offers no protection against prompt injection or malicious instructions that might trick an LLM into performing unauthorized actions on the host system [1]. 2. Built-in Circuit Breakers: Even in this mode, specific critical operations—such as attempts to delete sensitive system paths like the filesystem root (/) or home directory (~)—will still trigger a prompt as a final circuit breaker against model error [1]. 3. Sandbox Behavior: The permission check is automatically bypassed when the environment is running inside a recognized sandbox [1]. 4. Cloud Security: When using Claude Code in a cloud environment (e.g., Claude Code on the web), the system ignores settings that request bypassPermissions to prevent repositories from forcing a session into an insecure state [1]. 5. Administrative Control: Administrators have the ability to explicitly disable the use of bypassPermissions mode across an organization via managed settings [1]. For workflows that require fewer interruptions but maintain security, the documentation recommends using auto mode instead, which provides background safety checks while minimizing the frequency of user prompts [1].

Do not use bypass mode for provider-controlled issue text.

  • A Linear user can inject instructions into content sent to Claude. --dangerously-skip-permissions removes normal approval prompts and prompt-injection protection. Run this workflow only in a dedicated sandbox with restricted filesystem, network, and repository credentials. Otherwise, remove the flag and require approval.
  • Do not claim the listener runs once per issue. Relayfile delivers events at least once, and this command has no durable eventId deduplication. Repeated events can create multiple branches or pull requests. Add deduplication or document that runs can repeat.
