""The deeper shift is how teams think about work. When our engineers no longer spend time supervising Codex sessions, the economics of code changes completely. The perceived cost of each change drops because we're no longer investing human effort in driving the implementation itself.""
""The orchestration layer can monitor issue states, restart agents that crash or stall, manage per-issue workspaces, watch CI, rebase changes, resolve conflicts, and shepherd pull requests toward review.""
OpenAI's Symphony is an open-source specification that enhances issue trackers like Linear to manage Codex coding agents. It allows agents to handle multiple tasks from an issue tracker, operate in separate workspaces, and prepare changes for human review. This system emerged from challenges faced by engineers managing multiple Codex sessions, which limited productivity. Internal teams reported a 500% increase in pull requests within three weeks. However, Symphony also presents challenges, as not all tasks are suitable for orchestration, particularly those requiring strong judgment.
