Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source, local-first system dispatches coding agents to GitHub issues and returns their work as pull requests.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The system assigns each GitHub issue to a separate KVM microVM with its own fresh worktree, then exposes a chat-and-terminal cockpit at a local address such as 127.0.0.1:7878. Its example colony reproduces a guest-checkout failure, reports 42 passing tests, and offers two concrete implementation choices before proceeding. The site also documents a provider gateway, private mesh networking, and a read-only Git metadata model in which the host handles the final commit and pull request.
