openai-symphony-autonomous-agents — Claude Code skill
Guides the setup of OpenAI Symphony to run autonomous coding agents in isolated branches based on project tracker tickets.
npx skills add reason-machines/trending-skills --skill openai-symphony-autonomous-agents -a claude-codeWhat openai-symphony-autonomous-agents does
This skill guides developers through implementing OpenAI Symphony, an execution model that delegates tickets to autonomous agent sessions. Rather than watching an AI code line by line, engineers define issues in Linear. Symphony spins up a fresh Git branch, runs a coding agent, and submits a pull request accompanied by CI verification and review data.
The skill covers two integration paths: generating code directly from the Symphony specification markdown or using the Elixir reference service. Running the Elixir supervisor requires Elixir with Mix, along with OPENAI_API_KEY, GITHUB_TOKEN, and LINEAR_API_KEY. Without these credentials and a configured repository path, the runner cannot pick up tasks or open pull requests.
What it helps with
- set up isolated execution runs for coding agents
- poll tasks from Linear boards automatically
- isolate task implementations into separate Git branches
- automate pull request creation with CI proof of work
Example prompts for the agent
- Implement Symphony in my project using the official specification
- Set up the Elixir reference implementation of Symphony with Linear
- Configure isolated agent runs to turn repository issues into pull requests
