Project Overview

oflow is a workflow automation layer that connects GitHub Issue boards with AI programming agents. It monitors Issues marked as oflow-ready in your GitHub project, generates a Claude Code session for each task, uses configurable skill workflows to implement the task, and automatically opens a Pull Request when the work is done.

This automation model represents a new development paradigm: shifting from "humans driving Issues to code" to "Issues automatically driving AI agents to complete code."

Core Features

oflow is designed to achieve end-to-end automation of development workflows:

Section 04

Automatic Issue Monitoring

The oflow daemon periodically polls GitHub repositories for Issues marked as oflow-ready. Once a new task is found, it immediately enters the processing flow.

5

Section 05

Intelligent Task Allocation

The system generates an independent Claude Code session for each pending Issue, ensuring isolation and concurrent processing capabilities between tasks.

6

Section 06

Configurable Workflows

Through the skill workflow mechanism, you can define the processing steps and rules for tasks. The default uses dev-workflow, but it can be customized according to project needs.

Section 07

Automatic PR Submission

When the Claude Code session completes the task, oflow automatically applies the oflow-done label and optionally submits a Pull Request automatically.
