Barbossa

AI engineers that ship code while you sleep.

docker pull ghcr.io/adwilkinson/barbossa-dev:latest

What it does

Barbossa is self-hosted and runs AI agents on a schedule. They find issues, implement fixes, create PRs, and review each other's work. You wake up to merged PRs.

Autonomous Mode — Agents implement, review, and merge code automatically.

Spec Mode — Generate cross-repo feature specifications without touching code.
