Justy: OpenAI just released Symphony. It's a framework that lets you hand work to autonomous agents and actually trust them to finish it.
Justy: Instead of watching agents write code line by line, you assign tasks from a Linear board. Agents run the implementation, check it against CI, generate PR reviews, and land the code themselves.
Justy: The proof is built in. You get CI status, review feedback, complexity analysis, even walkthrough videos. You manage work. Not agents.
Justy: The catch: it's an experimental preview. Meant for trusted environments only. And your codebase needs to be using harness engineering patterns already.
Justy: This isn't some vague research thing. There's a reference implementation in Elixir you can run today. Or you can build it yourself from the published spec.
Justy: If you've got a codebase that's ready for this, go check the Elixir README on the GitHub repo. Set it up and test it. See what actually lands without supervision.
Justy: This is the shift from managing coding agents to managing work. That's the next frontier.
