Machinist
Open-source software factory infrastructure that queues coding tasks and hands them to agent CLIs on your own machine.
Overview
Machinist is open-source software factory infrastructure that runs on your own machine or VM. A control plane queues coding tasks, and workers hand them to Codex, Claude Code or any other agent CLI, keeping repository access and credentials local.
Every run is recorded with its time, tokens and outcome, and ends with a pull request for a human to approve. Machinist is in early access, with no pricing or hosted version.
