The Issue-to-PR
Pipeline
Incredibuilders automates your entire development lifecycle — from claiming a GitHub issue to merging a production-ready PR. Six structured stages. Enforced quality gates. Zero context loss.
Six Stages. One Pipeline.
Zero Context Loss.
Each stage runs as an isolated subagent with focused context. Structured JSON handoffs — not accumulated conversation history.
Issue Pickup
Claim issues with intelligent priority sorting
7-tier priority algorithm selects the right issue. Branch created, requirements extracted, environment ready.
Feature Planning
Documentation-first design that saves 80% on tokens
Reads docs/ before code. Creates PLAN.md with phases, file changes, and test strategy. Requires your approval.
Feature Dev
Parallel implementation with automatic quality review
Spawns parallel subagents for independent files. Security scanning, standards compliance, and tests written alongside code.
Feature Validate
Build verification hard gate + automated testing
Build must pass — no exceptions. Framework-aware test execution, dead code detection, and component-specific checklists.
PR Create
Auto-generated PRs with full traceability
Pre-flight checks, auto-generated description from context, issue linking with 'Closes #N', and reviewer assignment.
PR Merge
CI auto-fix, review handling, and cleanup
Ralph Loop auto-fixes linter and format issues. Smart review categorization. Epic auto-close. Full cleanup on merge.
Built Different
Not just another AI code generator. A complete development lifecycle with enforced standards at every step.
Context Isolation
Each stage runs as a fresh subagent. No token exhaustion. No context window limits. Complex features complete every time.
Documentation-First
Reads your docs/ folder before exploring code. Reduces token usage by 80-90% and ensures implementations match your standards.
Enforced Quality Gates
Build verification is a hard gate — not a suggestion. Plan approval required before coding. Acceptance criteria validated before merge.
Portable Skills
Write once, use everywhere. Same pipeline skills work across Claude, Copilot, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini.
Self-Healing Pipeline
The Ralph Loop auto-fixes linter errors, format issues, and minor CI failures. Up to 3 attempts before escalating.
Epic & Dependency Tracking
Automatic epic detection, sub-issue routing, dependency checking, and auto-closure when all sub-issues merge.
Your Command Center in VS Code
Everything you need to run the full pipeline, right from your editor. No CLI required.
One-Click Pipeline
Run the full 6-stage pipeline on any issue with a single click. No terminal, no setup, no context switching.
Visual Progress Tracking
Real-time sidebar showing stage progress, status indicators, and estimated time remaining for each pipeline run.
Batch Overnight Runs
Queue multiple issues and let the pipeline process them sequentially. Start it before you leave — review PRs in the morning.
Token & Cost Monitoring
Track token usage and cost per stage in real time. Set budgets for batch runs and monitor efficiency trends over time.
From Issue to Merged PR
Three steps. Fully automated. You stay in control at every approval gate.
Pick an Issue
Select a GitHub issue or let the 7-tier priority algorithm choose for you. Feature branch created. Requirements extracted. Environment ready.
AI Plans, Builds & Tests
Documentation-first planning, parallel implementation, and multi-phase validation — all automated with structured JSON handoffs between stages.
Review & Merge
Auto-generated PR with full context and traceability. CI issues auto-fixed. Reviews categorized. Epic auto-closed on completion.

Portable Agent Skills specification means no vendor lock-in. Start in one tool, continue in another.
Write skills once as portable SKILL.md files. They run everywhere — across Claude, Copilot, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini. Structured JSON context travels with you, so you can switch tools mid-issue without losing progress.
