How Sweep Worked
- You create a GitHub issue describing the change ("Fix the login redirect bug" or "Add dark mode toggle to settings")
- Sweep reads your codebase — understands the project structure, dependencies, patterns
- Sweep writes code — creates the implementation following your project's conventions
- Sweep opens a PR — with descriptive title, summary, and the actual code changes
- You review — leave comments on the PR, and Sweep can respond to feedback and make adjustments
What It Could Handle
- Bug fixes from issue descriptions
- Small feature implementations
- Code refactoring tasks
- Documentation updates
- Test additions
Limitations
- Worked best on small, well-defined changes
- Large features or architectural changes were beyond scope
- Required clear issue descriptions for best results
