GitHub-centric MVP · provider-agnostic by design

AI workflows for software delivery

Turn a GitHub issue into reviewed requirements, architecture, implementation, testing, and release artifacts through specialized AI roles and human approval gates.

The problem

AI-assisted engineering has speed. It doesn't have a review structure.

Every team already trusts a review structure: scoped requirements, an architecture pass, security sign-off, code review, a test plan. AI coding assistants skip straight to a diff — collapsing all of that into one chat window and one person's judgment about when it's done.

BinChicken doesn't make the model smarter. It puts the review structure back — as software, not as a habit someone has to remember to follow.

How it works

Eight roles. One artifact each.

Artifact-first, not chat-first

A workflow run is, in full, the artifact graph it produced plus the approvals gating it. Every artifact is versioned, attributed to a role and a provider, and links to the artifacts it was built on — a real audit trail, not a transcript.

Multi-provider execution

Claude, GPT, Gemini, local models, and whatever ships next are interchangeable execution workers behind a stable interface. Roles declare a preferred provider; nothing else in the platform changes when you swap one out.

Human approval, on the record

Security and release gates block automatically. A decision — approve, reject, or request changes — is captured with who made it and when. Nothing ships past a gate because no one objected.

Governance principles

Artifacts over chatEvery decision leaves a reviewable document — not a scrollback you have to re-read.
Roles over promptsScoper, Architect, Security Reviewer — specialized responsibilities, not ad-hoc instructions.
Approvals over autonomyA run does not proceed past a gate on its own. A human decision is required and recorded.
Auditability over magicEvery step, execution, and decision is a queryable event, not a black box.
Provider abstraction over model lock-inClaude, GPT, Gemini, or a local model — the same role, the same workflow, your choice of worker.
Clarity at 2am over visual flairMonochrome, dense, and legible under pressure. No color competes for attention that a status shouldn't get.

From issue to pull request, reviewed.

Point BinChicken at a repository. Every run ends the same way an engineer's does: a pull request, ready for a human to merge.
