[](https://github.com/openai/symphony/blob/main/.github/media/symphony-demo.mp4) _In this [demo video](https://github.com/openai/symphony/blob/main/.github/media/symphony-demo.mp4), Symphony monitors a Linear board for work and spawns agents to handle the tasks. The agents complete the tasks and provide proof of work: CI status, PR review feedback, complexity analysis, and walkthrough videos. When accepted, the agents land the PR safely. Engineers do not need to supervise Codex; they can manage the work at a higher level._ Warning Symphony is a low-key engineering preview for testing in trusted environments. ## Running Symphony [](https://github.com/openai/symphony#running-symphony) ### Requirements [](https://github.com/openai/symphony#requirements) Symphony works best in codebases that have adopted [harness engineering](https://openai.com/index/harness-engineering/). Symphony is the next step -- moving from managing coding agents to managing work that needs to get done. ### Option 1. Make your own [](https://github.com/openai/symphony#option-1-make-your-own) Tell your favorite coding agent to build Symphony in a programming language of your choice: > Implement Symphony according to the following spec: [https://github.com/openai/symphony/blob/main/SPEC.md](https://github.com/openai/symphony/blob/main/SPEC.md) ### Option 2. Use our experimental reference implementation [](https://github.com/openai/symphony#option-2-use-our-experimental-reference-implementation) Check out [elixir/README.md](https://github.com/openai/symphony/blob/main/elixir/README.md) for instructions on how to set up your environment and run the Elixir-based Symphony implementation. You can also ask your favorite coding agent to help with the setup: > Set up Symphony for my repository based on [https://github.com/openai/symphony/blob/main/elixir/README.md](https://github.com/openai/symphony/blob/main/elixir/README.md) * * * ## License [](https://github.com/openai/symphony#license) This project is licensed under the [Apache License 2.0](https://github.com/openai/symphony/blob/main/LICENSE). ## About Symphony turns project work into isolated, autonomous implementation runs, allowing teams to manage work instead of supervising coding agents. ### Resources [Readme](https://github.com/openai/symphony#readme-ov-file) ### License [Apache-2.0 license](https://github.com/openai/symphony#Apache-2.0-1-ov-file) ### Uh oh!
