Turn tickets into merged pull requests
Pulls tasks from GitHub Issues or Linear, then runs Claude Code or Codex in isolated Kubernetes pods to carry each one through to a PR.

- What they did
- Optio is a self-hosted tool you run on Kubernetes. You assign it a GitHub Issue, Linear ticket or Jira card. It finds or creates a long-lived pod for the repo and adds a git worktree. It runs the agent there and opens a PR. A PR watcher polls CI and review state, and resumes the agent with context on CI failures, merge conflicts or review feedback. A review agent also runs.
- How it went
- The README says the pipeline runs end to end, squash-merging when CI is green and the review is done, then closing the linked issue and recording cost. It gives no success rates or benchmark numbers.
- Worth knowing
- It needs Kubernetes v1.33 or newer, Helm, Postgres and Redis. Auto-resumes are capped by the OPTIO_MAX_AUTO_RESUMES setting, so stuck PRs can still need a person.
Try it yourself with Codex
Look at the open issues in my repo [owner/repo] labeled [label, e.g. good-first-issue] and pick the [number, e.g. 3] smallest ones. For each, work on its own branch, make the fix, run the tests, and prepare a draft pull request description. Pause and show me each diff and PR description before you push anything or open a PR.
