I’m not saying this is, but if I were a malicious state actor, that’s exactly the kind of thing I’d like to see in widespread use.

Someone’s gonna think about wiring all this up to Linear or Jira, and there’ll be a whole new set of vulnerabilities created from malicious bug reports.

In some workflows it's helpful for the full loop to be automated so that the agent can test if what's done works.

And you can do a more exhaustive test later, after the agents are done running amok to merge various things.

I don’t think “ready to merge” necessarily means the agent actually merges. Just that it’s gone as far as it can automatically. It’s up to you whether to review at that point or merge, depending on the project and the stakes.

If there are CI failures or obvious issues that another AI can identify, why not have the agent keep going until those are resolved? This tool just makes that process more token efficient. Seems pretty useful to me.

I did! The issue however, is having a clear, deterministic method of defining when the code review was 'done'. So the hooks can fire off subagents, but they are non-deterministic and often miss vital code review comments - especially ones that are marked in an inline comment, or are marked as 'Out of PR Scope' or 'Out of range of the file' - which are often the MOST important comments to address!

So gtg builds all of that in and deterministically determines whether or not there are any actionable comments, and thus you can block the agent from moving forward until all actionable comments are thoroughly reviewed, acted upon or acknowledged, at which point it will change state and allow the PR to be merged.
