OpenAgents Episode 161: Basic Coding Loop
We implement the first working version of our autonomous coding loop - an agent that can take a GitHub issue and generate working code changes.
Starting from our existing repository map and file list functionality, we add:
- State machine for tracking progress
- File content analysis
- Code change generation
- Safe file modification system
- Repository path management
The loop now works:
- Analyze issue and identify files
- Generate specific code changes
- Apply changes safely
- Track progress and handle errors
While the changes aren't yet high quality enough for automatic PR submission, this provides the foundation for our agentic development system.
Next up: improving change quality and adding automatic PR creation.
