You write the workflow. It hums.

Config you own

A gaggle's shape is plain YAML and markdown in a config repo you own: goobers, instructions, workflows. Change it and restart to pick up the new state. Canonical examples ship in the binary too: goobers examples show implementation prints the YAML directly, no checkout required. Full reference: config-examples/.

Code you can fork

The rest is MIT-licensed: scheduler, runner, and journal in Go; portal in React, embedded in the same binary. Fork it, or leave it alone and change only the config. Harness support: two adapters, Copilot CLI and Claude Code, behind the same registry. Config reference: the docs.

Goobers builds itself: the project's own instance runs its workflows against this repo and merges its own PRs under gate policy. Issue #1451 asked for a typed notification-output sink with durable delivery receipts. The implementation workflow claimed it, repassed three times against both an agentic reviewer and local CI, and opened the PR below.

You run Goobers yourself — there is no managed service. Bring a laptop or server (Linux or macOS first; Windows has its own verified path), sign in a coding agent of your choice (Copilot CLI or Claude Code), and reference your GitHub or Azure DevOps credentials by name, never inline. What it actually runs against is a repository and a backlog: issues or work items you've already labeled ready, the same queue your team triages today.

The loop runs unattended; deciding what's in it doesn't. You still pick what lands on the backlog, what the product needs next, where things head — Goobers turns that backlog into pull requests, it doesn't invent the backlog for you.
