AgentRail is the open-source task lifecycle layer for coding agents. Agents can write code — the hard part is everything else: picking the right ticket, watching CI, incorporating review feedback, merging when it's ready. It connects agents to GitHub, Linear, and CI with structured typed events instead of raw webhooks and log walls. - Per-agent scoped auth - Rules-based task-> agent routing, - structured CI summaries. - Apache 2.0 licensed. Runs locally.
I'm Onyeka, and I've been obsessed with one problem: coding agents can write great code, but they can't close a ticket.
They miss CI failures. They don't know which issue to pick up next. They lose context on review comments. You end up babysitting them instead of letting them ship.
That's after spending a couple hours of your day setting this all up.
**The problem** 👀 Every agent integration I saw was the same: dump GitHub webhooks at your agent and hope for the best. Raw log walls. No structure. No routing. The agent burns context just parsing noise.
What we built ⚡ AgentRail is an open-source task lifecycle API that gives coding agents a real dev loop: - 📥 GitHub Issues and Linear tickets become routable tasks automatically - 🔁 CI results come back as structured summaries — not raw log walls - 🔍 PR review comments are ranked by severity (blocking vs. advisory) - 🔑 Per-agent scoped API keys — each agent only touches what it needs - 🏠 Runs entirely locally, no account required
**How to try it** 🚀 npm install @agentrail-core/cli — that's it.
Completey free for self-hosted, contributions are more than welcome!
Agentrail is in the very early stages, and actually launched earlier than planned to make it for Vercel Day! So please, break it, roast the hell out of it, all feedback is welcome/
Would love to hear from anyone running Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor agents at scale. What's the first thing that breaks when you have more than one task running? 🙏

Who hunted AgentRail?
AgentRail was hunted by Onyeka Nwamba. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
