Stripe Engineers Deploy Minions, Autonomous Agents Producing Thousands of Pull Requests Weekly
"Minions have progressed from concept to generating over a thousand pull requests per week. All code is human-reviewed, but the agents are increasingly producing changes end-to-end."
"The workflow concludes with a pull request submitted for human review, allowing engineers to move from task definition to production-ready code with minimal manual intervention."
Minions are autonomous coding agents developed by Stripe that can complete software development tasks from a single instruction. They integrate large language models with internal developer tools to produce over 1,300 pull requests weekly. All code generated is human-reviewed, and no human-written code is included. Minions execute end-to-end tasks from various sources, utilizing blueprints to create code, tests, and documentation. The system evolved from an internal fork of Goose, tailored to Stripe's specific requirements and infrastructure.
