Use cases
Engineering backlog automation
The backlog work every team accumulates but never prioritizes, turned into small, reviewable pull requests instead of staying a ticket forever.
What gets stuck in engineering backlogs
Dependency bumps, flaky tests, and hardening tickets rarely lose to feature work on merit. They lose because no one wants to spend a sprint on them. They pile up until they become their own kind of risk: outdated packages, tests nobody trusts, patterns everyone knows are unsafe but no one has time to fix.
Ticket → plan → isolated execution → PR
Ticket
Researched & scoped
Isolated execution
PR opens
Human review
A coding agent (Cursor and/or Claude) executes the plan on an isolated server that authenticates with its own bearer token and only talks to RepoFixer's Worker API, never your database directly. Read the full model on the security page.
Human review stays the control
Automating the work between "ticket" and "pull request" doesn't mean removing the review that comes after it. RepoFixer never merges. An engineer decides what ships, the same as any other PR.
Fits your GitHub and Jira workflow
Work starts from a ticket created in RepoFixer or synced from Jira, and lands as a PR on the GitHub repository you've connected, not a separate system your team has to learn.
What's a good fit today
