How it works

1

Connect a repository

Point the Engineering department at a GitHub repository. Its open issues become work items.

Startup As A Box works the issue

A Developer employee implements it in an isolated session; a Reviewer employee reviews the resulting pull request.

You decide

Merges happen at explicit approval boundaries, with budgets and a kill switch always in reach.

Why it matters

What the Engineering department gives you on day one.

Issues become reviewed pull requests

A Developer employee implements a GitHub issue in an isolated session; a Reviewer employee reviews it and findings loop back until it converges.

Humans hold the approval boundary

A deterministic policy — never a model — decides whether to merge or park the work at Waiting for Human, with the pull request linked.

Budgets and a kill switch, always on

Every employee has a spending cap; pausing the company or disabling an employee stops new work immediately.

Give your first employee a repository.

Connect a GitHub repository and let the Engineering department start working its issues.
