Use agents to triage Jira, review PRs, and send updates
Luke set up several Hermes agents to handle tickets, code, reviews, and updates while they focused on other work.
- What they did
- Luke configured a group of Hermes agents to work as a small team. They could read Jira tickets, write code, review pull requests, track costs, summarize documents, run workflows, send updates, and even build games in Unreal Engine and create cities. Luke gave them access to the needed systems and let them keep working while they spent time with family, stepping in to set up and monitor the overall process.
- How it went
- The agents worked on those tasks at the same time, which let Luke get more done without doing everything themselves. No specific numbers or detailed wins were given.
- Tips
- Give each agent clear access and a narrow job so they can work in parallel. If the work touches tickets, code, or messages, have the agent pause for approval before it posts or changes anything permanent.
Try it yourself with Hermes Agent
You are part of a small team of agents. Watch [Jira project or queue] for tickets assigned to [me / team / label]. For each ticket, read the issue, inspect the related code in [repository], propose or make the needed change, review any linked pull request, and prepare a short status update for [Slack channel or other tool]. Before you send a message, open a PR, merge anything, delete anything, or make any other irreversible change, stop and show me the exact text or action for approval. Keep working through tickets until I tell you to pause.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
