USE CASE

Monorepo maintenance that lands as reviewable pull requests

A monorepo concentrates maintenance work: shared dependencies, lint rules, build config, and test harnesses that must change together across many packages. Hyperlane runs each maintenance task in an isolated cloud sandbox, verifies it against the repo’s own build and tests, and opens a pull request with the evidence attached.

The work is broad, repetitive, and checkable: exactly the shape an autonomous agent handles well, provided every change is verified against the packages that depend on it.

The work is broad, mechanical, and shared

A monorepo makes maintenance cheap to start and expensive to finish. One lint rule, one dependency bump, or one build-config change touches dozens of packages, and each package has its own consumers. The work is rarely difficult in one place; it is difficult because it has to be consistent everywhere and verified after every step.

One package per run, verified against the graph

Each Hyperlane run gets its own clone inside an isolated cloud sandbox. The agent applies the change to one package, then runs the repository’s own install, build, lint, and test commands. The verify-before-done gate means the run cannot finish on a plausible diff: it finishes when the checks pass, and the pull request carries that evidence.

Parallel runs without workspace collisions

Because every run has its own sandbox and branch, several packages can move at once. Runs do not share a working tree, a lockfile, or a terminal, so a stuck build in one package does not block the others. Long sweeps survive interruption through durable checkpoints: a run can resume where it stopped instead of starting over.

Where humans stay in the loop

Risky actions can require approval before they execute, and every step lands in the run’s audit trail. If a build behaves strangely, a person can open the live Linux desktop attached to the run, use Chrome, VS Code, or Files, and take over. Review still happens on the pull request, with the trace attached for context.

A first month that does not boil the ocean

Pick one class of change and one repository. Run it on a schedule through the API or CLI, review the pull requests, and measure how many you merge without edits. If the acceptance rate holds, widen to more packages and more change types. Monorepo maintenance is a volume problem, so the pilot should prove review load before it proves capability.

What Hyperlane ships

  • Autonomous agent loop that plans, edits, runs, and verifies work end-to-end
  • Every run executes inside an isolated, resource-capped sandbox
  • Live execution traces - diffs, terminal output, and reasoning as it happens
  • GitHub-native workflow: pushes branches and opens pull requests itself
  • Web app, REST API, TypeScript SDK, CLI, and MCP server interfaces
  • Dollar-for-dollar credits - pay $20, get $20 of agent work

Frequently asked

Does it understand our monorepo tooling?

It runs the commands your repository already uses, inside the sandbox. The agent detects the existing install, build, lint, and test setup, so verification uses the same signal your CI produces rather than a separate build definition.

How many packages can it change at once?

One run scopes one change. Parallelism comes from launching several runs, bounded by your plan’s concurrency. Start with a handful so review load stays manageable, then increase as the acceptance rate holds.

How do you keep pull requests reviewable?

Scope each run to one package or one mechanical change. A wider sweep fans out into separate branches and pull requests, so reviewers read small diffs instead of one merge that touches every package.

What does it cost?

Credits are 1:1 with dollars, so $20 buys $20 of model and agent usage. Agent computer time is metered against a monthly allowance that depends on your plan, with on-demand usage up to a hard ceiling. The Free plan includes 10 minutes of computer time each month.

Can it run on a schedule?

Yes. Runs can be started from the REST API, TypeScript SDK, or CLI, so a cron job or CI step can open maintenance pull requests on a cadence without anyone opening the workspace.
