Research lands in your repo as a draft PR

Outrider is a free GitHub Action that scouts new methods relevant to your AI system on a schedule you set, and opens a draft PR only when one wires cleanly into an existing call site. When a change is premature it opens an Issue, and when nothing fits it skips. One artifact per window, so it never spams your repo.

$ remyxai outrider init --repo owner/name --auto-interest

// 01 how_it_works

From the frontier to your repo in four steps

[1] interest

Define an interest

One command or the Studio UI profiles your repo and creates a Research Interest from its code and merge history.

[2] rank

Rank candidates

The Remyx engine ranks new work from the sources it indexes against your interest and what your team has shipped.

[3] validate

Validate the fit

Outrider clones your repo and checks each candidate for a real call site, picking the most implementable. Cheap filters run first, so a run that can't help exits before any model cost.

[4] decide

Open the artifact

remyx-ai[bot] opens a draft PR with code and tests, files an Issue for ideas worth watching, or skips. You review and decide.

// 02 outcomes

Every run ends one of three ways

Outrider would rather skip than open noise. Each run resolves to exactly one artifact, or none.

draft_pr

The candidate wires into an existing call site and clears the validators. Outrider opens a draft PR with the integration, code, and tests.

discussion_issue

The idea is relevant but not a clean fit yet, no call site, too many stubs, or unreachable code. Outrider opens an Issue with the attempted diff.

skip

Nothing cleared the confidence, dedup, or fit gates. No artifact is created, and the run records a status in the Action log.

// 03 refinement_chain

Every draft gets a second pass

Opening the draft isn't the end of the run. Outrider walks it through three phases before it asks for review. Turn the chain off for a cheaper recommend-only run.

fidelity

Diffs the draft against the method's reference implementation and reports a coverage matrix: what it covers, what it defers, and where it deviates.

convention

Rewrites the PR to your repo's template and the conventions of your recent merges, and folds Outrider's own scaffolding into a collapsible block.

test

Runs lint and a focused test pass on the touched files. On a pass it flips the draft to ready-for-review; on failure it stays a draft for you to take over.

// 04 setup

Switch it on in minutes

Either path provisions the workflow and fires the first run. A draft PR or Issue lands in minutes.

from the cli
$ pip install remyxai
$ export REMYXAI_API_KEY=...
$ remyxai outrider init \
    --repo owner/name \
    --auto-interest

Installs Outrider on the repo and creates a Research Interest from it in one step.

from studio
# no terminal required
create a Research Interest
from your repo, then choose
"Set it up for me"

Connect GitHub once, create the interest from your repo, and let Remyx provision the workflow.

without the github app
$ remyxai outrider setup-local \
    --repo owner/name \
    --auto-interest \
    --anthropic-key sk-ant-...

Provisions with your own authenticated gh CLI. PRs then come from your account instead of remyx-ai[bot].

// 05 trust

Server-side setup. Your local git is untouched

You authorize once through the Remyx GitHub App. The action runs in your own Actions as remyx-ai[bot], with a token scoped to the repo and revocable on its own.

  • pinned at remyxai/outrider@v1.6; a same-repo install self-mints its token, no github-token needed
  • commits are authored by remyx-ai[bot] and show as Verified
  • bring your own Anthropic key for the coding agent, billed to your account
  • the agent only edits Python and markdown under strict size caps, and never touches CI, Dockerfiles, or dependency manifests
  • observe-only by design, with a human gating every merge
