Workflows That Write Code
CodingAgentStep is an autonomous code-generation step type for workflows. Docker-sandboxed, multi-language, and fully auditable — it clones your repo, writes code, runs tests, and produces a pull request with a clear diff.
How It Works
CodingAgentStep in the workflow builder
Define a natural-language task, pick a model (Claude Sonnet 4.6 recommended), and configure sandbox settings. The agent clones your repo, writes code, runs tests, and creates a pull request — all inside a single workflow step.
- Natural-language task description
- Model selection per step
- Docker sandbox isolation
- Automatic PR creation
Docker Sandbox
Isolated execution in every run
Every execution runs in an isolated Docker container. No access to host filesystem or network. Configurable memory (up to 2 GB), CPU time limits, and execution timeout. All file changes are captured and committed.
- Isolated filesystem per execution
- No network access to host
- Configurable resource limits
- Full audit trail of changes
Real-World Use Cases
From test generation to framework migrations
Auto-generate unit tests for untested modules, create documentation from code, migrate between frameworks, generate boilerplate from specs. Each execution produces a PR with a clear diff.
- Test generation and coverage improvement
- Documentation sync with code changes
- Framework and dependency upgrades
- Boilerplate generation from specifications
How It Works
Three steps to autonomous code generation
Add CodingAgentStep
Add a coding agent step to any workflow. Describe the task in natural language — "write unit tests for the auth module" or "migrate the API client from v2 to v3."
Configure sandbox
Set the model, memory limits, timeout, and target repository. The agent spins up a Docker container, clones the repo, and begins execution in full isolation.
Review output
The agent produces a pull request with code changes, test results, and execution traces. Review the diff, check the test output, and merge when ready.
