Factory AI Droid CLI¶

What it is¶

An AI-powered coding agent that works directly within your project to perform tasks like code reviews, security scans, and feature implementation. Droid leverages LLMs (typically Claude) to interact with your codebase and supports specialized "droids" (sub-agents) for specific domains like infrastructure, security, or frontend development.

What problem it solves¶

Automates repetitive development tasks such as code review, security scanning, and feature implementation by delegating them to specialized AI sub-agents.

Where it fits in the stack¶

Development & Ops. Acts as a CLI-based AI coding agent with domain-specific sub-agents.

Typical use cases¶

Automated code reviews and security scans
Feature implementation via AI agents
Domain-specific tasks using specialized droids (infrastructure, security, frontend)

Strengths¶

Specialized sub-agents for different development domains
CLI-first design integrates well with existing workflows
Supports GitHub Actions integration

Limitations¶

Depends on external LLM providers (typically Claude)
Limited documentation on custom droid orchestration

When to use it¶

When you want AI-driven automation for code reviews, security scans, or feature work
When you need domain-specific AI agents within a CI/CD pipeline

When not to use it¶

When a general-purpose AI coding assistant (e.g., GitHub Copilot) is sufficient
When you need full control over the AI model used
