They read the ticket themselves, build against the design, open the pull request, and leave the app running for you to look at. All of it on your own machine, in a workbench that fits in one file. The essentials are here, the docs have the full reference.
★ Not in Codespaces or a bare devcontainer.
Say "implement ACME-1234" and it opens the issue, its description and its comments itself: Jira and Confluence, GitHub and GitLab issues, Notion, Linear.

When the screen exists in Figma or Claude Design, it reads the frame: layout, the components your design system brings, the tokens behind the colours.

It starts briefed on this workbench: which languages and services are here, how to reach the database. So it wires the app up instead of inventing a URL.

Three agents hand the work along: one plans and writes the plan down, one builds exactly that, one reviews what came out before it ever reaches you.
Docs →GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket are wired up, so it does the whole round trip: clone, branch, commit under the right name, push, open the pull request.

The app keeps running after the session ends, at a name you can type. One command puts it on your network over HTTPS, so you open it on your phone.
Docs →Attach VS Code, VS Codium, JetBrains or the Claude Code app over SSH, with zero setup. The workbench your agent works in is the one you open.
Docs →Three client projects side by side, each with its own Node version, database and logins. Your machine keeps none of it, nothing to uninstall later.

Everything the agent got is written down in one readable file: languages, services, repos, the servers it reaches. Nothing hides in a tool state.

It all runs on your machine. No rental, no hourly bill, no sign-up, and nothing leaves the device unless you deliberately send it somewhere.
Docs →One command and the old project runs again: same toolchain, same services, still signed in. No afternoon spent getting it to work first.
Docs →Dev containers, Docker Compose, MCP, SSH: none of it invented here. Monoceros wires the standard parts together so they hold as one workbench.
