Holon

English|中文

Holon runs AI coding agents headlessly to turn issues into PR-ready patches and summaries — locally or in CI, without babysitting the agent.

Why Holon

• Headless by default: run AI coding agents end-to-end without TTY or human input; deterministic, repeatable runs.
• Issue → PR, end to end: fetch context, run the agent, and create or update a PR in one command.
• Patch-first, standardized artifacts: always produce diff.patch, summary.md, and manifest.json for review and CI.
• Sandboxed execution: Docker + snapshot workspaces by default; nothing touches your repo unless you opt in.
• Pluggable agents & toolchains: swap agent engines or bundles without changing your workflow.
• Local or CI, same run: holon solve locally or in GitHub Actions with identical inputs and outputs.

GitHub Actions quickstart (with holonbot)

1. Install the GitHub App: holonbot in your repo/org.
2. Add a trigger workflow (example minimal setup):

name: Holon Trigger

on:
  issue_comment:
    types: [created]
  issues:
    types: [labeled, assigned]
  pull_request:
    types: [labeled]

permissions:
  contents: write
  issues: write
  pull-requests: write
  id-token: write

jobs:
  holon:
    name: Run Holon (via holon-solve)
    uses: holon-run/holon/.github/workflows/holon-solve.yml@main
    with:
      issue_number: ${{ github.event.issue.number || github.event.pull_request.number }}
      comment_id: ${{ github.event.comment.id }}
    secrets: inherit

1. Set secret ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN. holon-solve will derive mode/context/output dir from the event and run the agent headlessly.

Local CLI (holon solve)

Prereqs: Docker, Anthropic token (ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN), GitHub token (GITHUB_TOKEN or HOLON_GITHUB_TOKEN or gh auth login), optional base image (auto-detects from repo).

Install:

• Homebrew: brew install holon-run/tap/holon
• Or download a release tarball from GitHub and place holon on your PATH.

Run against an issue or PR (auto collect context → run agent → publish results):

export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=...
export GITHUB_TOKEN=...   # or use gh auth login

holon solve https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123
# or: holon solve owner/repo#456

Behavior:

• Issue: creates/updates a branch + PR with the patch and summary.
• PR: applies/pushes the patch to the PR branch and posts replies when needed.
