Minions: Stripe’s one-shot, end-to-end coding agents

Minions are Stripe’s homegrown coding agents, responsible for more than a thousand pull requests merged each week. Though humans review the code, minions write it from start to finish. Learn how they work, and how we built them.

Stripe’s “Minions” are unattended coding agents given the same engineering toolchain and context as humans, invoked from everyday workflows (e.g. Slack), producing PR-ready changes for human review. Runs on a fork of goose.

Over a thousand pull requests merged each week at Stripe are completely minion-produced, and while they’re human-reviewed, they contain no human-written code.

Motivation: developer attention is scarce; parallel unattended agents absorb many small tasks (helpful on-call).
