Build Your Own Agent

A step-by-step guide to building custom integrations and AI agents for StackFactor — from clone to production in minutes.

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ installed
Git installed
A GitHub account
VS Code or any IDE with JavaScript support
A StackFactor account (for deployment)
01

Clone the Starter Template

PROJECT SETUP

Start by cloning the open-source starter project from GitHub. It comes pre-configured with everything you need — folder structure, JavaScript configs, CI/CD pipeline, and sample code.

git clone https://github.com/StackFactor/stackfactor-interoperability-project-template.git my-agent
cd my-agent
npm install

The template includes:

JavaScript configFolder structureSample agent codeCI/CD pipelineTest setupREADME docs
02

Develop Your Agent

BUILD & CODE

Build your integration or agent in your preferred IDE. Full JavaScript support with IntelliSense and local debugging. The familiar developer experience you expect.

What you can build:

Extensions to StackFactor functionality for your unique workflows
Connectors to external systems (Jira, Slack, Teams, HRIS, LMS, CMDB)
CI/CD pipeline integrations (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins)
Custom notification agents for compliance alerts and training reminders
Data sync agents between StackFactor and your enterprise systems
Reporting agents that generate custom compliance or readiness reports
03

Test Locally

VALIDATE

Run automated tests locally as part of development. Validate your integration logic, API contracts, and agent behaviors before pushing code.

npm test

The test suite validates API contracts, agent behaviors, and integration logic automatically. Fix any failures before moving to deployment.

04

Deploy to StackFactor

SHIP IT

Push to GitHub and the pre-configured CI/CD pipeline automatically deploys your agent to StackFactor. Zero manual steps — from commit to production.

git add .
git commit -m "feat: my custom agent"
git push origin main

The GitHub Action at stackfactor-interoperability-github-action handles the rest — build, validate, and deploy to your StackFactor environment.

OPEN SOURCE

Clone, customize, deploy. No vendor lock-in. Full control over your integrations and agents.
