No Assignment, No Code: Planning with a Coding Agent in OpenProject

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

TL;DR – I plan my side project with a coding agent in OpenProject instead of a chat window. I write user stories (what and why); the agent, working as its own least-privilege user, turns them into features and tasks with specs (how) and hands them back for review. It only writes code for items assigned to it, and only when I ask. It works, it costs some ceremony, and the MCP tooling still has rough edges.
