# Dispatch coding agents from GitHub issue labels and return pull requests with Patchwork Agents

Use issue labels as a lightweight dispatch layer that fans repository work out to Claude Code, Codex, or Aider workers and brings back PRs.

## Prerequisites

GitHub App or webhook setup, Kubernetes or k3s environment, supported coding-agent credentials, repository access, Patchwork Agents deployment

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- docker build -f images/orchestrator/Dockerfile -t ghcr.io/<your-org>/orchestrator:latest .
- docker save ghcr.io/<your-org>/orchestrator:latest | sudo k3s ctr images import -
- docker build -f images/worker-claude/Dockerfile -t worker-claude:latest .
- docker save worker-claude:latest | sudo k3s ctr images import -

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- Tested on: VPS / 8 GB RAM / 4 vCPU / k3s single-node.
- ### 1. Prerequisites
- **Manual option**: k3s, Docker, and kubectl installed on the VPS

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- A VPS (or machine) with 4 vCPU / 8 GB RAM minimum
- API keys for your desired AI worker providers
- **Ansible option**: ansible installed locally + SSH root access to the VPS
