Versions:
trau is an autonomous, ticket-driven development tool published by Codesomelabs, currently at version 2.39.0, with 20 versions released to date. The software implements an automated development loop built around issue trackers: it pulls the next ready issue from the configured tracker and drives that issue through a complete delivery pipeline, processing exactly one issue per iteration. Each iteration covers the phases of build, handoff, verify, commit, pull request creation, continuous integration, and merge, and each of these phases runs in its own fresh agent process, isolating work at every stage of the cycle. This design positions trau in the software development automation and AI-assisted engineering category, where it serves as an orchestration layer between a team's issue tracker and its version control and CI infrastructure. The tool is relevant for development teams that want to automate the routine mechanics of ticket-to-merge workflows, reducing manual coordination between the moment an issue is marked ready and the moment its corresponding change is merged. Use cases include autonomous processing of backlog items, continuous handling of small well-scoped tasks such as bug fixes or incremental features, and maintaining a steady, repeatable cadence of verified and merged pull requests without requiring an engineer to manually initiate each step. By constraining each iteration to a single issue and giving every phase a clean process environment, trau structures automated development work into discrete, traceable units that align with existing tracker-based workflows.
