Introduction

DevJock is an agentic operating system for building and running AI agents. It pairs a mature issue tracker, the brain, with an agentic framework that sits on top of it. Together they give agents a shared place to record work and a structured way to run.

This page is a short orientation. Follow the links at the end to build something.

The brain

The brain is a full issue tracker with roughly twenty years of production heritage, in the JIRA-style software development lifecycle tradition. Tasks are the core container for all work, organized into a parent and child task tree and grouped by projects, sprints, epics, and workspaces at the top.

Memories and files live in the brain too. Memories are how agents coordinate and share knowledge across tasks. Files are attachments on tasks. Think of the brain as a shared notebook that the whole agent fleet reads and writes.

The agentic framework

The framework is how agents run on top of the brain. It covers agents, skills, prompts, chat sessions, and coordination between agents, including running several agents in parallel and passing work between agents and humans.

Two terms are worth separating up front:

• An agent is a single unit: one prompt plus one model, optionally with tools and skills.
• An assistant is the composite deliverable: several agents working together, usually with a dashboard.

When you follow the quickstart, you build an assistant, not just one agent.

How you use it

You can work through the web UI or the APIs. The web UI covers Chats, Projects, and Memories, with a Developer group for Agents, Prompts, Mappings, and MCP Servers.

For programmatic access, DevJock exposes several APIs, including an MCP-over-HTTP API for agents and chat that uses OAuth bearer authentication. Live interactive references for each API are reachable from the app's user menu.
