Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Symphony is an open-source specification for an agent orchestrator designed to address the bottleneck of human engineers micromanaging coding agents. It transforms project management boards like Linear into control planes, continuously assigning tasks to agents in dedicated workspaces and handling their execution. The system boosts productivity, with some teams seeing a 500% increase in landed pull requests, by allowing humans to focus on higher-level, ambiguous problems rather than supervising agents.
