How to use Anneal: what you can do with it

What is Anneal? Anneal is a local system that runs chains of coding agents to plan, review, implement, verify and merge tasks queued on a board, using the Codex and Claude subscriptions you already have.

How do I use it? Clone the repository and check out the release: git clone https://github.com/mosonlab/anneal.git, then git checkout v0.9.0; then install and build: npm ci, npm run setup:local, npm run build; start the database and migrate: docker compose up -d --wait --wait-timeout 60 postgres, then npm run db:migrate:release -- --fresh. Full steps below.

4 use cases

  • Deliver queued specs as merged pull requests overnight

    Write task specs, queue them on the board, and collect merged pull requests when the chains finish.

    View prompt
    Using the mosonlab/anneal repository, set up the local release at v0.9.0 and queue the spec in <path-to-spec-file> on the board for <project-name>. Report the board status and the pull request URL when the chain finishes. Verify that the chain's merge step completed and that the pull request is merged into the target branch.

  • Trace which commits an Anneal chain produced

    Find chain-delivered commits in git history and follow each step through its recorded artifacts.

    View prompt
    In the <repo-path> repository, list every commit with an X-Anneal-Run trailer and group them by run identifier. Return a table of run, step and commit hash, and verify that each run identifier appears in the Anneal board records.

  • Reshape the twelve-step chain into your own agent workflow

    Edit agent roles, prompts, models and gates in the template data to fit your own team of agents.

    View prompt
    In the mosonlab/anneal repository, copy agents/templates/compound-engineer-workflow to a new template named <template-name>, change the step that uses the role <role-slug> to use <model> at <effort>, and report the changed fields. Verify that the template still lists twelve steps in order.

  • Run chains for several projects at the same time

    Queue tasks across multiple repositories and let independent chains run in parallel on one machine.

    View prompt
    Using the mosonlab/anneal repository, queue one spec for each of the projects <project-a> and <project-b> on the board, then report which chains are running at the same time. Verify that both chains advance without waiting on each other.

  4. Install and build: npm ci, npm run setup:local, npm run build.
  5. Start the database and migrate: docker compose up -d --wait --wait-timeout 60 postgres, then npm run db:migrate:release -- --fresh.
  6. In three terminals, run npm run dev:api, npm run dev:runner and npm run dev:web, in that order, then open http://127.0.0.1:5173.

These steps come from our top use case, Deliver queued specs as merged pull requests overnight, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
