Orka

An autonomous SDLC orchestrator: take a GitHub issue, interrogate it, plan it, and open a tested pull request — with human approval kept explicit.

The code is private for now; the loop above is exactly what it runs.

Orka is an experiment in taking the whole delivery loop, rather than the coding step, and handing it to agents. The first product loop is deliberately narrow:

  1. ingest a GitHub issue
  2. validate the requirements
  3. ask clarifying questions when they’re underspecified
  4. plan the implementation
  5. generate a tested pull request
  6. stop and ask for an explicit approval on anything risky

Rails 8, Sidekiq, Postgres, Hotwire, RSpec.

The six steps, as built. Steps three and six are the ones that decide whether the loop is usable.

The interesting part isn’t step 5. Generating code is the part that already works. The parts that decide whether the loop is usable are steps 2, 3 and 6 — whether the system can tell that a ticket is underspecified before it writes anything, and whether a human stays genuinely in the loop where it matters instead of nominally in the loop everywhere.
