Thesis The way to scale with AI agents is to get out of the loop. Stop babysitting. Stop copy-pasting tickets into chat windows. Define the work, assign it to the agent, and walk away. agent-worker is a polling-based worker that watches your issue tracker for assigned tasks, claims them, executes an agent harness to do the work, and reports results back. You stay out of the loop entirely. Why polling? Webhook-based agent orchestrators like OpenClaw require you to expose ports and endpoints to the internet. That's a security surface you don't need. The polling pattern is simpler and more secure — your agent reaches out on its own schedule, nothing reaches in. This scales from a single agent on your laptop to hundreds of workers across many repos and projects without any additional infrastructure. Hooks: deterministic guardrails around non-deterministic agents Agents are powerful but non-deterministic. Pre and post hooks let you wrap agent execution with deterministic, auditable steps — checking out a branch, running tests, linting, pushing code. The agent does the creative work; hooks enforce the process. Agent-harness agnostic agent-worker is not tied to a single agent. It supports any agent harness that can accept a prompt and return a result.
