I built Sniptail — an open-source bot that lets you run AI coding agents (Codex / Copilot CLI) against real repos directly from Slack or Discord.

Instead of AI living only inside one developer’s IDE, Sniptail turns it into a team-facing layer:

- Mention the bot and ask how a feature works - Run commands to ask, plan or implement collaboratively - Generate repo reports - Open lightweight PRs

All against explicitly approved repos.

Flow:

Slack/Discord → job queued in Redis → worker clones repo → agent runs → report or PR link posted back in-thread.

It’s self-hosted, repo-scoped, and modular (chat channel, agent, git provider are separate layers).

Not trying to replace Copilot/Codex/CC, the worker runs it on your behalf.

Repo:

If the project gains traction, the idea is to support:

- more agents (Claude Code, Open Code, …) - more channels (Telegram, Microsoft Teams, …) - more git services (Bitbucket, Azure Repos, …)

Feel free to try it, let me know if you find it actually useful!

Happy to go deep on architecture if helpful.
