Show HN: Self-managing codebase with long-horizon agents
A new demo showcases a self-managing codebase maintained by a long-horizon agent. This agent automates tasks such as monitoring, filing tickets, and running tests for a Next.js travel-planner app. The system includes a manager, reviewer, and retro agent, all designed to streamline app maintenance and improve efficiency.
- ▪The demo features a Next.js travel-planner app managed by a cloud-hosted Anthropic Managed Agent.
- ▪The managing agent runs every 30 minutes, monitors various services, and automates ticket management and code reviews.
- ▪A separate reviewer agent evaluates pull requests and escalates issues to a human if necessary.
