Sortie is an orchestration tool that converts issue tracker tickets into autonomous agent sessions.
The tool addresses the problem of bridging the gap between task management systems and autonomous AI agents. It works by reading tickets from issue trackers, extracting their requirements, and spawning autonomous agent sessions that can work toward resolving those tickets. The approach enables teams to automate workflows by having agents take direct action on tracked work items rather than requiring manual intervention at each step.
Teams should consider Sortie if they use issue tracking systems like GitHub, Linear, Jira, or Gitea and want to reduce manual task handoff overhead. It suits projects where autonomous agents can meaningfully contribute to resolution—such as code generation, DevOps automation, or routine development tasks. The tool is particularly relevant for organizations building agent fleets or swarms, where coordinating multiple agents across tracked work becomes a bottleneck that Sortie can help eliminate.
The project shows active development with regular commits addressing core functionality and integrations. Work spans multiple areas including support for different issue tracker platforms, agent orchestration logic, and CLI tooling. The codebase demonstrates ongoing refinement of how tickets are parsed and translated into agent-executable tasks, with attention to making the agent session lifecycle robust and reliable.
