Octomus Agent is a self-hosted repository improvement agent that finds worthwhile work before writing code. Using gpt-6-astra it studies your repo, proposes improvements, challenges them with independent reviewers, implements accepted tasks in isolated worktrees, verifies the exact reviewed revision, and opens GitHub PRs. Audit mode lets you inspect every decision first. You stay in control: Octomus never merges or deploys.
