Show HN: OpenProject Agent Engine – Automated Workflow and Agent Dispatch

A developer released OpenProject Agent Engine, an open-source tool that auto-assigns OpenProject work packages to AI agents, which complete the task, open a pull request and comment on the ticket before the engine routes it to a QA code review agent that merges the PR and closes the ticket or returns it to the original agent for fixes. The project is published on GitHub under 310networks and on Docker Hub as kookster310/op-agent-engine, and was posted to Hacker News as a Show HN with 1 point and 0 comments.

I started looking into OpenProject as an open-source JIRA alternative for personal project, and wanted a way to have my AI agents pick up tasks and complete them automatically.

So I put together this OpenProject Agent Engine. It auto assigns the 'work package' (ticket), then kicks off the agent to do the work. Once complete, the agent opens a PR then leaves a detailed comment on the ticket. The engine then assigns the ticket to a QA code review agent. If it passes, the PR gets merged and and ticket is closed. If it doesn't pass, it gets kicked back to the original agent to fix the issues.

Feedback welcome and hope it can help someone.
