OpenAI’s Symphony spec pushes coding agents from prompts to orchestration

OpenAI has released Symphony, an open-source specification for turning issue trackers such as Linear into control planes for Codex coding agents. Instead of asking an AI tool for help with one coding problem at a time, Symphony is designed to let agents pick up work from an issue tracker, run in separate workspaces, monitor CI, and prepare changes for human review. In a blog post, OpenAI said the system grew out of a bottleneck it encountered as engineers began running multiple Codex sessi...
