Description
It uses your local Claude and GitHub CLI and git worktrees, so there's nothing to configure beyond what you already have.Our AI coding workflow was a hodgepodge of scripts and ad-hoc processes, so we built this to centralize and streamline - and most importantly adapt as things change.Some cool features so far (lots more planned):1. One click github issue to agent working on it.2. Ratcheting mode, where it watches CI for code review comments and build failures, and automatically fixes them.Would love genuine feedback, bug reports, PRs, suggestions, etc.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
