Symphony Overview ↗
yesSummary: Symphony turns project work into isolated, autonomous implementation runs. It polls issue trackers, spawns coding agents per issue in isolated workspaces, and manages the full lifecycle from ticket to merged PR.
Editorial Notes
Symphony represents a fundamentally different layer of orchestration from frameworks like CrewAI or LangGraph. Instead of orchestrating tool calls within a single conversation, it orchestrates entire development workflows — each issue gets an isolated workspace, a coding agent session, and a proof-of-work requirement before code can land. The key prerequisite is “harness engineering”: your codebase needs structured docs (AGENTS.md), CI enforcement, and taste invariants before autonomous agents can operate reliably. Study this alongside the SPEC.md to understand the full architecture.
