kew¶

The open-source control plane for autonomous coding agents

Queue up your agents.

kew watches your GitHub issue queue, picks up work by priority, spins up a worktree, runs Claude Code with budget and security guardrails, and opens a PR while you're doing something else. A built-in governance layer keeps you in control: a tamper-evident audit log, a fleet kill switch (kew stop/kew resume), approval gates that hold high-cost dispatches for human sign-off, and outcome-linked spend reporting (kew report) so every dollar maps to a merged PR or failed run.

Your backlog has 30 issues. You have time for 3. Label the well-scoped ones ready, and they get worked in parallel overnight.
