Citedy has released Codex Symphony, an open-source tool that wires OpenAI's Symphony orchestration layer and the Linear project management platform into any Git repository with a single command.
The setup is deliberately minimal. Drop the tool into a repo, point it at a Linear project, and OpenAI Codex begins picking up tickets labeled 'Todo', executing them inside isolated workspaces, and reporting back — no developer supervision required between sessions. The bootstrap installs a set of shell scripts under `scripts/symphony/` covering init, startup (foreground and background modes), stop, restart, status checks, and log tailing. A global `codex-symphony` binary lands at `~/.local/bin/codex-symphony`, with a symlink at `~/.codex/skills/codex-symphony` for integration with the Codex skills ecosystem.
The package is designed to be portable and non-destructive. Configuration lives in `.env.symphony.local` rather than the project's main environment file, and a dedicated `WORKFLOW.symphony.md` sidesteps conflicts with existing documentation. The tool can also be detached from a repository, moved, and restarted without reconfiguration — a practical nod to the reality that development sessions are rarely uninterrupted.
The broader pattern Codex Symphony embodies — using a project management tool as a task queue for an autonomous coding agent — is one of the more practical early frameworks for AI-assisted development. Teams don't need to overhaul how they work: write a ticket, apply a label, and let Codex execute. That alignment with existing engineering habits likely explains much of the early interest.
Codex Symphony is available via Citedy's OpenSkills package manager (`npx openskills install Citedy/codex-symphony`), by direct GitHub clone, or as part of the `@citedy/skills` npm package.
