# mitkox/esf

> Self-hosted software factory that runs coding agents in isolated CubeSandbox microVMs, verifies their changes deterministically, and preserves patches and execution evidence; orchestrated by Temporal. A fork of Machinist.

- Magnitude: 2.9 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 88 total · +0 stars today, ≈ 5 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Run a coding agent on a task inside an isolated microVM and get a patch with logs
- Configure mandatory build.sh and test.sh gates before accepting agent changes
- Approve or reject a run via factory review and send the task back for rework

## Why it’s here

- 0 stars so far today, about 5 expected by the end of the day.
- The spike has held for 3 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- The repository is 3 days old and already has 88 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- About 9 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @dorucioclea (311 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 14
- Issues and pull requests: 7
- Watchers: 4
- Average over the last week: 23 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 0

## Stars per day, last 10 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
