OpenAI has released Symphony, an open-source specification for turning issue trackers such as Linear into control planes for Codex coding agents. Instead of asking an AI tool for help with one coding problem at a time, Symphony is designed to let agents pick up work from an issue tracker, run in separate workspaces, monitor CI, and prepare changes for human review. In a blog post, OpenAI said the system grew out of a bottleneck it encountered as engineers began running multiple Codex sessions. Engineers could manage only three to five sessions before context switching became painful, the company said, limiting the productivity gains from faster coding agents. OpenAI said the impact was visible quickly, with some internal teams seeing landed pull requests rising 500% in the first three weeks. 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 rev
