Anti-fabrication
This skill follows core:anti-fabrication. The 12 factors themselves are the
methodology cited in sources.md (12factor.net) — a stable, versionless reference, so
naming a factor correctly is low-risk. The risk sits in the worked examples: the
Kubernetes manifests, runtime.exs snippets, and Docker Compose configs in
references/kubernetes.md and references/factor-examples.md assert real API fields
(e.g. livenessProbe, ConfigMap keys) that do change across Kubernetes versions —
verify a manifest field against current API docs before asserting it applies, rather
than assuming an older example still matches the current API.
The 12 Factors
I. Codebase
One codebase tracked in revision control, many deploys
- Single Git repository for the application; every environment deploys from it
- Environment-specific config lives outside the code
- Use GitOps (ArgoCD, Flux) for deployment automation
Violations: multiple repositories for one application, per-environment codebases, copying code between repositories. Fix: consolidate to one repository and move the differences into environment config.
II. Dependencies
Explicitly declare and isolate dependencies
- Declare every dependency in the package manager manifest; never rely on system-wide packages
- Commit lock files for reproducible builds (
package-lock.json,mix.lock,Cargo.lock,go.sum) - Multi-stage container builds isolate build-time dependencies from the runtime image
Worked Dockerfile and per-language manifest list: references/factor-examples.md.
III. Config
Store config in the environment
All configuration comes from environment variables — anything that varies between deploys: credentials, hostnames, ports, pool sizes, backing service URLs, model names.
# Elixir - config/runtime.exs
config :my_app, MyApp.Repo,
hostname: System.get_env("DATABASE_HOST") || "localhost",
password: System.fetch_env!("DATABASE_PASSWORD"),
pool_size: String.to_integer(System.get_env("POOL_SIZE") || "10")
What makes a violation, and the smallest correct fix:
- Hardcoded value that differs (or could differ) between deploys → read it from an environment variable, with a default only when a safe dev default exists
- Hardcoded model name, API endpoint, or service hostname → environment variable; model names are config, not code
- Config file with real values committed to version control → environment variables plus a committed
.exampletemplate - Environment-specific code path (
if env == "production") → one code path driven by a config value
Litmus test from 12factor.net: the codebase could be made open source at any moment without compromising any credentials.
Kubernetes ConfigMap/Secret wiring: references/kubernetes.md.
IV. Backing Services
Treat backing services as attached resources
- Databases, queues, caches, and third-party APIs all attach via URLs in environment variables
- No distinction between local and third-party services
- Swapping a backing service is a configuration change only — never a code change
V. Build, Release, Run
Strictly separate build and run stages
- Build: convert code to executable bundle
- Release: combine build with config
- Run: execute in target environment
- Releases are immutable and uniquely identified (git SHA, semver)
- Roll back by redeploying a previous release, never by modifying one
- Build artifacts stay separate from runtime config
CI/CD pipeline example: references/factor-examples.md.
VI. Processes
Execute the app as one or more stateless processes
- Processes are stateless and share-nothing; persistent state lives in backing services
- No sticky sessions, no local filesystem for persistent data
- Violation: in-memory session or state store → move it to Redis or the database
Session-store example: references/factor-examples.md. Deployment manifest: references/kubernetes.md.
VII. Port Binding
Export services via port binding
- Bind to
0.0.0.0, neverlocalhost; take the port number from the environment - HTTP server library embedded in the app — no reliance on runtime injection (Apache, Nginx)
VIII. Concurrency
Scale out via the process model
- Scale horizontally by adding processes, not vertically by enlarging them
- Distinct process types (web, worker, scheduler) scale independently
- The OS or platform process manager owns processes — never daemonize or write PID files
IX. Disposability
Maximize robustness with fast startup and graceful shutdown
- Minimize startup time (under 10 seconds ideal) — fast startup enables rapid scaling
- Handle SIGTERM: finish in-flight requests, close connections, then exit
- Stay robust against sudden death
Graceful-shutdown example: references/factor-examples.md.
X. Dev/Prod Parity
Keep development, staging, and production as similar as possible
- Same backing service types in dev and prod (not SQLite in dev, Postgres in prod)
- Containers ensure environment consistency; infrastructure as code for reproducibility
- Same deployment process for all environments; minimize the time gap between dev and production
Docker Compose dev-environment example: references/factor-examples.md.
XI. Logs
Treat logs as event streams
- Write unbuffered to stdout/stderr; never manage or rotate log files in the app
- Use structured logging (JSON) with correlation IDs for tracing
- The platform routes logs (Fluentd, Logstash) — never send directly to an aggregation service from app code
XII. Admin Processes
Run admin/management tasks as one-off processes
- Migrations, consoles, and one-time scripts use the same codebase, config, and environment as regular processes
- Run against a release, not development code
- Use the platform scheduler for recurring tasks; ship admin code with application code
Kubernetes Job/CronJob examples: references/kubernetes.md.
Modern Extensions (Beyond 12)
Three extensions round out contemporary cloud-native practice — full detail and examples in references/modern-extensions.md:
- XIII. API First — design and document APIs (OpenAPI) before implementation; contract-first development
- XIV. Telemetry —
/metricsendpoint, distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry), health check endpoints - XV. Security — OAuth 2.0/OIDC, RBAC, secrets in environment never in code, TLS everywhere, security scanning in CI/CD
Common Patterns
Configuration Validation
Validate required configuration at startup — fail fast, naming the missing variables:
function validateConfig() {
const required = ['DATABASE_URL', 'JWT_SECRET', 'REDIS_URL'];
const missing = required.filter(key => !process.env[key]);
if (missing.length > 0) {
throw new Error(`Missing required environment variables: ${missing.join(', ')}`);
}
}
// Call before starting server
validateConfig();
Health checks, graceful degradation, and the troubleshooting guide: references/operations.md.
Anti-Patterns to Avoid
❌ Environment-Specific Code Paths
// DON'T: branch on environment
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') { /* different behavior */ }
// DO: one code path, configured value
const timeout = parseInt(process.env.TIMEOUT || '5000');
❌ Local File Storage
// DON'T: write persistent data to local filesystem
fs.writeFile('/tmp/uploads/' + filename, data);
// DO: use object storage
await s3.putObject({ Bucket: process.env.S3_BUCKET, Key: filename, Body: data });
❌ In-Memory State
// DON'T: store state in memory
const sessions = new Map();
// DO: use external store
const session = await redis.get(`session:${sessionId}`);
❌ Hardcoded Dependencies
// DON'T: hardcode service locations
const db = connect('localhost:5432');
// DO: use environment variables
const db = connect(process.env.DATABASE_URL);
Best Practices Summary
- Environment variables for all configuration
- Stateless processes that can scale horizontally
- Structured logging to stdout
- Containers for development parity
- Automated CI/CD pipelines
- Health checks for orchestration
- Graceful shutdown handling
- Fast startup times (< 10s)

Key Insights
"The twelve-factor methodology can be applied to apps written in any programming language, and which use any combination of backing services (database, queue, memory cache, etc)."
"The twelve-factor app never assumes that anything cached in memory or on disk will be available on a future request or job – with many processes of each type running, chances are high that a future request will be served by a different process." — Factor VI, Processes
Design applications from day one to be cloud-native, scalable, and maintainable.

# 12-Factor App Methodology
Guide for building scalable, maintainable, and portable cloud-native applications following the 12-Factor App principles and modern extensions.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install
License: MIT
- Dependency or permission surface needs review
- Permission surface may require sandboxing
- Potential broker, wallet, exchange, or real-money execution surface; sandbox and explicit approval are required
- Low GitHub adoption signal
- AI review approval is missing
- This skill may touch real-money trading, broker, wallet, or exchange operations; use only in a sandbox with explicit approval.
- Quality score needs review
- Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, filesystem or document access
- GitHub adoption: 25 GitHub stars
- Stars/forks activity: 25 stars, 6 forks; issue activity unavailable in current metadata
- Dependency/runtime risk: credential or environment access, external package install surface
- Permission surface: secrets or environment access, filesystem or document access
Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Start with one small task
- 1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
- 2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
- 3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
