Smithers

Codebase maintenance framework that turns issues into reviewed, tested changes via flows, listed with a Jev session checker.

View on GitHub ↗

Overview

Smithers automates maintaining a codebase: it turns issues into reviewed, tested changes and, when enabled, keeps the project wiki current, using flows defined beside your code. It is available as a hosted app with Free and Pro plans, and as a CLI and TypeScript libraries for local execution and authoring; the release candidate requires Linux with Node 26.4.0. It is MIT licensed.

The fetched README does not mention Jev. A directory listing describes a Jev session checker wired into its workflows, which would let a flow ask typed questions about a session (for example whether work is finished or on track) before proceeding. Details are not available here.
