Turn tickets into code changes and draft the PR

Stripe uses in-house coding agents to carry tasks from ticket to reviewable code, then humans check the result.

Done with Custom agent· Advanced

What they did
Stripe says its internal Minions agents take a task all the way through implementation. They produce a code change end to end, after which a person reviews it. The public page available for this example only included the post title and short summary, so it did not show the build details behind the system.
How it went
Stripe says Minions account for more than 1,000 merged pull requests each week. No other metrics were shared, and no failures were described.
Tips
Give the agent a single ticket, a clear repo location, and explicit instructions to run tests before showing the patch. Add a hard stop before any push, PR creation, or other irreversible step.

Try it yourself with Codex

Use this ticket: [paste ticket text]. Work in [repo path or URL] and make the needed code change on a new branch. Run the existing tests and linters, repair any failures, and then show me the diff plus a draft pull request description. Stop and ask for my approval before you push, open the PR, delete anything, or take any other irreversible action.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
