A private flock of coding agents -
MindFlock is a local, private tool that bridges the gap between issue tracking systems and AI-assisted code generation. It automatically converts a ticket assigned to a developer in Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues, Shortcut, or Asana into a dedicated git worktree on the user’s own machine. An AI coding agent is seeded with the ticket’s title, description, acceptance criteria, and comments, and begins working inside that worktree without any manual input. The entire process runs locally, bound to 127.0.0.1, ensuring that no copy of the repository is ever sent to a vendor sandbox or a MindFlock cloud service. The developer then reviews the generated diff, commits, pushes, opens a pull request, and merges, all from a single interface. The tool is designed for developers who want to keep their code private while still leveraging AI for coding tasks. It connects to a tracker once, then polls it every 20 seconds for newly assigned tickets or reviewed pull requests. For each ticket, MindFlock creates a feature branch from a cached clone, installs dependencies automatically (with auto-detection for Python and uv projects, or a single configuration line for others), and starts the agent. The agent can be any compatible command-line interface, such as Claude from Anthropic or Codex from OpenAI. The user reads the real git diff in the diff tab and controls the final steps: commit, push, create PR, and merge, each with a single click. Multiple tickets can be in flight simultaneously. MindFlock is free and open source under the Apache 2.0 license, with its source code publicly available on GitHub. It requires no account creation, no cloud service, and no phone-home features. Tracker tokens are stored locally in a settings file with restricted permissions and are sent only to the respective tracker’s API. Crash reporting, license checks, and other telemetry are absent. The only external calls are to the tracker’s API (read-only, every 20 seconds), GitHub’s API for pull request management, a public model-price table fetched once daily, the user’s git remote when pushing, and optionally ntfy for phone notifications. The tool is suitable for developers who want to automate the initial coding steps of a ticket workflow while retaining full control over the review and merge process.
