Coding & repositories

Agents can do real software work: edit code with Codex, work with repositories, review diffs, and drive pull requests — all inside virtual machines.

Capabilities

Codex execution

Agents delegate coding turns to OpenAI Codex running inside a VM, with durable streaming and steering. Codex work appears as a distinct session in the timeline. Requires the Codex skillset.

VFS mount & sync

Mount platform file trees into a VM or sandbox and sync changes back with conflict detection, so agents can edit with normal CLI tools.

GitHub repositories

Agents list, clone, and push GitHub repositories they have been granted, using brokered tokens inside VMs. Requires a configured GitHub App.

Workspace-local repositories

Org-scoped git repositories hosted by the platform (snapshots in object storage) can be cloned in VMs without GitHub, and later published to GitHub. Requires the repository service.

Pull request lifecycle

Agents create PRs, check status, wait for a terminal CI/review state, and merge (merging requires approval).

Structured code review & diffs

Backend-computed structured diffs for git checkouts and GitHub PRs, with a file tree, line selection, and comments drafted into the composer.

Agent coding setup UX

An empty-state gate in agent DMs prompts GitHub and Codex connection before coding conversations begin.
