About Pilot

Pilot is an autonomous development pipeline that transforms issue tickets into pull requests. It integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Linear, Jira, Asana, Plane, and Discord to automatically pick up labeled tickets, plan implementations using codebase context, write code with Claude Code, run quality gates, and open a PR for review. Pilot is ticket-driven, not prompt-driven, reducing developer overhead. Its context intelligence cuts token usage by 92% while following project conventions. Works with a Claude subscription (Pro/Max) or Anthropic API key. The tool offers 260+ features including autopilot mode, approval workflows, quality gates, and self-improvement systems.
