Clear the bug backlog
Send the small bugs nobody has time for to an agent, and get them fixed the same day.

From a real task: filed, then merged.
The work
You already have the list: a clipped label, a dropdown that hides on a phone, a column that truncates. Each one is a small, clear task. File it in plain English, the way you'd describe it to a teammate. An agent reads the report and finds the cause, fixes it, then opens a pull request. A person reads the diff and merges it.
Why it stalls
A ten-minute fix has to compete with every larger project on the board, and it never wins. So it sits in the backlog for months, and the same small annoyance repeats every time someone hits it.
How it runs
Plan, code, review, merge, verify
- plan
Reproduces the reported bug and checks whether it is really a one-line fix or a symptom of something bigger.
- code
Fixes the underlying cause instead of papering over the symptom, and updates the test that should have caught it.
- review
Checks the fix against the existing test suite for the file it touched.
- merge
Opens a pull request against the base branch, sized to the actual fix.
- verify
Confirms the reported behavior is gone and nothing else changed.
What you need on hand
- A repo CodeHerder can reach
- One sentence naming the bug, the way you'd report it to a teammate
- A person free to read the diff before it merges
Proof, not a promise
A real task: filed, then merged. A cut-off dropdown arrow that turned out to hide the whole profile menu →

Hand off dependency bumps, migrations, and lint fixes: the chores every repo needs and nobody wants to own.
