AgentMingo

Compare · GitHub Projects

A GitHub Projects alternative for teams running coding agents

If your team already lives on GitHub, Projects is the obvious place to plan, and GitHub can now assign an issue to Copilot, Claude or Codex to open a draft pull request[1],[2]. AgentMingo keeps GitHub for code, pull requests, reviews and CI, and puts the planning next to the coding agent threads your developers run themselves.

What stays on GitHub, and what moves

  • Stays on GitHub

    Your repositories, pull requests, reviews, CI and merges. AgentMingo's GitHub App reads them. Nothing merges by itself: you do, on GitHub or from AgentMingo as yourself.
    What the GitHub App reads and writes

  • Moves to AgentMingo

    The tasks. They live in AgentMingo, or in Jira if you follow Jira projects, and a task's key in the branch name ties threads and pull requests to it.

  • Not read

    GitHub Issues. A task can be exported to a new GitHub issue, one way, with a link back.

Built around the pull request

  • Review bot comments and CI check runs on the pull request go to the thread on its branch, sorted into must fix and suggestions.
  • A failure that main has too is marked not yours. A check that has failed and then passed on the same commit more than once lately is sent as likely flaky, to re-run first.
  • When main changes a file the thread edited, or the pull request stops merging cleanly, the thread is told.
  • Each pull request gets one plain status: Waiting on CI, Waiting on a person, Fixing, Blocked, Needs you or Ready to merge.

AgentMingo and GitHub Projects side by side

AgentMingo and GitHub Projects, on what both sides' docs describe. As of November 2026.

When to stay with GitHub Projects

  • Everything you plan is already a GitHub issue, and you want planning in the same place as the code.
  • You rely on roadmap views or custom fields[3]. AgentMingo's tasks have sprints, labels and estimates, not custom fields or a roadmap.
  • You want to assign issues to GitHub's coding agents and get draft pull requests back[1],[2].
  • You need issues kept in sync with another tool. AgentMingo only exports a task to GitHub Issues.
  • Your developers mostly use agents other than Claude Code. Works with Claude Code today; Codex and more are next.

Or use both

Keep Issues for bug reports and Projects for the roadmap, and plan agent work in AgentMingo, exporting a task when it should be visible on GitHub. Or skip AgentMingo's tasks altogether: threads, the review loop, conflicts and notifications all work without them.

Questions

Do I need GitHub Actions?

No. CI results come from check runs, from GitHub Actions or any CI that reports them. A commit status alone isn't passed on as a failure.

Does a draft pull request move the task?

Not until it's ready for review. A draft is tied to its task by its branch name, and the task moves to In review when the pull request opens for review or the draft is marked ready. It moves to Done when the last of its pull requests merges.

Do GitHub's coding agents work with AgentMingo?

They work on GitHub, outside AgentMingo. Check out the agent's branch in a Claude Code thread and that thread gets the pull request's review results.
