Mission
Close the gap between AI tool capability and developer capability.
Methodology
The Dark Factory Score
A 0-5 score measuring your ability to work with AI tools across six skill domains. It maps to real project complexity -- from single scripts to multi-service architectures.
Single file, single function. Prompt-to-output with no project context.
Multi-file, single feature. 3-10 files, basic state management.
Full feature with data layer, API, migrations, and tests.
Full app with auth, billing, CI/CD, and deployment.
Multi-service architecture, monorepo orchestration, cross-service coordination.
Adaptive Content
How It Works
Every lesson is generated by Claude, calibrated to your assessment results and learning history. No two learners receive the same content.
The system evaluates your skill gaps across six domains and five complexity tiers, then generates teaching content, code examples, and evaluation criteria matched to your exact level.
As you complete challenges and pass checkpoints, the curriculum adapts. Content difficulty scales with your demonstrated ability, not arbitrary labels.
Ecosystem
The Dark Agent Factory Ecosystem
The Dark Agent Factory ecosystem has three parts. Directory rates AI tools on the Dark Factory Score. Skills measures developers on the same scale. Academy trains developers to close the gap. Same score, same framework, end to end.
