## What toolfactory does, in the publisher's words

Build an agent tool once; ship it as an Agent Skill, an Agent Plugins bundle, a Claude Code, Codex or Cursor plugin, an MCP server, a CLI, an npm or PyPI package, an MCP Registry entry, an OpenClaw or Hermes native plugin, and a web page, from one operation module and one config file.

toolfactory is a scaffolder and a keeper-in-sync, not a runtime. It writes each surface in the shape that surface's own tooling would have written, proves it with that surface's own validator, and records every generated file in a lock so drift fails CI. Delete toolfactory from a repo it generated and every surface still installs, builds and publishes.
