// summary

Symphony transforms project tasks into isolated, autonomous implementation runs to streamline development workflows. It enables teams to manage high-level work objectives rather than directly supervising individual coding agents. The system provides comprehensive proof of work, including CI status, PR reviews, and complexity analysis, before landing changes.

// technical analysis

Symphony is designed to shift the paradigm of software development from direct supervision of coding agents to high-level management of autonomous implementation runs. By integrating with project management tools like Linear, it automates the execution of tasks and provides comprehensive proof of work, including CI status, PR reviews, and complexity analysis. This architecture aims to reduce the overhead of manual oversight, allowing engineering teams to focus on project outcomes rather than individual agent interactions.

// key highlights

Automates the lifecycle of coding tasks by monitoring project boards and spawning autonomous agents to complete them.

Provides verifiable proof of work such as CI status, PR feedback, and complexity analysis to ensure code quality.

Supports safe PR landing processes, ensuring that automated changes are validated before being merged into the codebase.

Facilitates a higher-level management approach where engineers oversee project progress rather than supervising individual agent actions.

Includes support for walkthrough videos, offering transparency into how the agents performed their assigned tasks.

// use cases

Automating task execution from project management boards

Generating proof of work including PR feedback and walkthroughs

Managing autonomous coding agents at a high-level project scope

// getting started

To begin using Symphony, you can either build your own implementation by following the provided technical specification or utilize the experimental Elixir-based reference implementation. Developers can set up the environment by consulting the documentation in the elixir directory or by prompting a coding agent to assist with the configuration based on the project's official guidelines.
