AI Analysis

●MidShip It

Convenience wrapper around Symphony and Linear—useful if you're already using both.

Strengths

•Portable install script writes isolated .env.symphony.local to avoid polluting main repo config.
•Nine operational scripts cover start, stop, restart, logs, status, and doctor diagnostics.

Weaknesses

•Zero stars and four commits—too early to judge stability or real-world adoption.
•No novel technology—just wiring together Symphony, Linear, and Codex with shell scripts.

Post Description

I wanted a simpler way to use OpenAI Symphony locally.

The recurring friction points for me were: - setting up Linear correctly - creating a reusable workflow file - bootstrapping repo scripts - restarting Symphony cleanly after reopening Codex - keeping the setup portable across machines

So I made a small public bootstrap package called Codex Symphony.

It installs: - WORKFLOW.symphony.md - scripts/symphony/start-local.sh - scripts/symphony/start-background.sh - scripts/symphony/status.sh - a codex-symphony wrapper command

The goal is to turn Symphony into a practical local issue-to-PR workflow: - Linear as the queue - Codex as the executor - Symphony as the dispatcher

Install: npx openskills install Citedy/codex-symphony

or: npx @citedy/skills install symphony

Then set: - LINEAR_API_KEY - LINEAR_PROJECT_SLUG - SOURCE_REPO_URL - SYMPHONY_WORKSPACE_ROOT - optional GH_TOKEN

Feel free to adopt for you needs.
