Show HN: AutoDev: Automated AI Development at Scale

We're excited to announce AutoDev, a fully automated development platform that brings the power of vibe coding to your entire team. AutoDev uses AI coding agents and GitHub Actions to handle development tasks end-to-end, from initial code generation to automated code reviews and CI fixes.

What is the proper way to do AI-based coding?

Three core principles:

1. Breaking work into appropriate units - Divide complex tasks into manageable, focused pieces

2. Iterative verification and feedback loops - Continuously validate work across multiple sessions

3. Automated regression prevention - Use CI and automated tests to catch issues early

AutoDev takes vibe coding to the next level with powerful automation and team collaboration features.

Why AutoDev?

Parallel Execution

Unlike traditional AI coding assistants that work sequentially, AutoDev can execute multiple independent tasks simultaneously. When you break down a complex feature into smaller tasks, AutoDev automatically identifies which tasks can run in parallel, dramatically reducing development time.

VM-Based Security - You Have Control

Your code runs in your own GitHub Actions runners, not on our servers. You maintain complete control over:

• Your code and intellectual property

• Compute resources and costs

• Development environment configuration

Easy Customization

Customize your development environment using GitHub Actions workflows. Simply modify your .github/workflows/autodev.yml file to:

• Install custom tools and dependencies

• Configure linters and formatters

• Set up your preferred testing frameworks

• Add security scanning and compliance checks

Transparent, Fair Pricing

$0.01/workflow execution with a minimum price of $10 per month - that's it for the platform fee. No per-user charges.

• Team accounts: $10/month (regardless of team size, and with per-usage cost)

• Personal accounts: $10/month (with per-usage cost)

• AI costs (Claude, OpenAI, etc.): Pay only for what you use. You can even use your fixed-cost subscription.

• GitHub Runner costs: Managed through your GitHub account

This means a team of 10 developers pays the same $10/month as a solo developer - we believe in fair, scalable pricing.

How It Works

Simple Tasks - Quick Automation

1. Select your repository and describe what you want to build

2. AutoDev triggers your workflow using GitHub Actions

3. AI agents create pull requests with the implementation

4. Automatic code review handling - AutoDev responds to feedback and fixes CI failures

5. Merge the PR when everything is ready

Composite Tasks - AI-Powered Planning

For complex features that require multiple coordinated steps, AutoDev can automatically break them down:

1. Describe your complex task in natural language

2. AI creates a task graph - A visual breakdown of all necessary steps and their dependencies

3. Review and approve the plan (or let auto-approval handle it)

4. Parallel execution - Independent tasks run simultaneously

5. Automatic progression - As tasks complete, dependent tasks start automatically

Example: Multi-Page Translation Task

Improve the translation quality for each page in AutoDev. Create one task per page. Each task should handle a single page. If a page's translation has no issues, the task should not create a PR. Each task prompt must include instructions to manually review and fix translations page by page - DO NOT use automated commands like 'pnpm translate'. Each prompt must include the complete list of all supported languages.

Example: Security Audit Task

Review all RPC methods in AutoDev and fix any security issues. Create one task per RPC method. Each task should handle a single RPC method. Each task prompt should fix all security issues in the RPC, but should NOT create a PR if the RPC already has sufficient test coverage.

Pro Tips for Power Users

Intentional Task Separation

You can strategically control how work is divided through your prompts. For example, when writing tests for API endpoints:

❌ Don't do this:

Write tests for all API endpoints

✅ Do this instead:

Write tests for all API endpoints. Create one task per endpoint. Each task should handle testing for a single endpoint.

This approach prevents the common issue where AI coding agents get confused mid-task and start behaving erratically - a problem anyone who's used Claude Code or similar tools for test writing has experienced.

Auto-Approval for Trusted Workflows

Enable auto-approval on composite tasks to let AutoDev automatically execute tasks as soon as their dependencies are met. Perfect for:

• Well-defined, repetitive tasks

• Tasks with strong CI coverage

• Tasks where you trust the AI agent's judgment

You can toggle auto-approval on and off at any time during task execution.
