ColeMurray/background-agents introduces an open-source system for offloading development tasks to background AI agents. Inspired by Ramp's Inspect, it provides hosted agents capable of accessing full dev environments like Node.js, Python, and VS Code. The system supports real-time multiplayer collaboration, scheduled cron jobs, and direct integration with Slack, GitHub PRs, and Linear.
- Integrates directly into Slack, GitHub PRs, and Linear issues for seamless workflow automation.
- Supports multiplayer sessions allowing multiple engineers to collaborate in real-time sandboxes.
- Enables scheduled tasks via cron and webhook triggers like Sentry alerts for autonomous operations.
- Generates PRs with proper commit attribution tied to the user who initiated the prompt.
- Allows selection of preferred AI models, including Anthropic Claude, for varied reasoning needs.
