From GitHub's daily star counts.
Checked on GitHub.
Overview
A Bash script (with a PowerShell port) that repeatedly invokes Claude Code or Codex CLI on a prompt. Each iteration creates a branch, commits, opens a GitHub PR with gh, waits for checks and reviews, then merges or discards the work. A SHARED_TASK_NOTES.md file carries context between iterations, and runs stop on limits for runs, cost or duration, or after repeated completion signals.
Who it is for: Developers running long unattended refactor or test-coverage jobs on GitHub
Strengths
- Respects GitHub branch protection, required checks and code owner approval before merging
- Stops on run count, USD cost or duration limits, with stall and rate-limit throttling flags
- Supports Claude Code and Codex, with an optional separate provider for reviewer passes
- Git worktree flag allows parallel loops on the same repository
Weaknesses
- Full PR automation requires GitHub; Gitea and other forges are not supported
- Failed iterations close the PR and discard the work, which costs tokens
- PowerShell runner lacks worktrees, self-update and automatic CI/comment retry
- Codex cost budgets need token rates passed manually, since Codex reports no USD cost
What it needs
- no GPU
- Needs Claude Code CLI or Codex CLI, GitHub CLI (gh), jq (Bash runner), Git
- Models: Claude Code, Codex CLI
