Uktics - AI dev agent that safely edits repos and opens PRs

by•
Uktics is an AI dev agent that turns natural language commands into safe GitHub pull requests. It understands repo structure, plans the change, edits the right files, blocks unsafe or unrelated changes, asks for approval with PIN, and creates draft PRs. Unlike normal AI coding tools, Uktics is built around real shipping workflow: prompt → scoped code change → approval → GitHub PR.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Ukesh, founder of Uktics. I built Uktics because most AI coding tools can generate code, but real software work needs more than generation. You need repo understanding, safe file scope, review, approval, and a clean GitHub workflow. Uktics turns a command like “create a pricing page and update navigation” into a scoped code change, asks for approval with PIN, and creates a draft pull request on GitHub. What makes Uktics different is the safety-first workflow. It does not just write random code. It plans the change, edits only the right files, blocks unrelated changes, and keeps the human in control before anything is applied. We’re still early, but the foundation is working: prompt → plan → safe edit → approval → draft PR. I’d love feedback from founders, developers, indie hackers, and teams who ship fast.

@proukesh The safety-first approach is smart—most teams are hesitant about AI touching their repos without clear guardrails. The approval workflow with PIN before PR creation sounds like it'd actually get adopted by security-conscious teams rather than sitting unused. Curious how you're handling cases where the AI's plan doesn't match what the developer actually wanted after they review it.

@saulfleischman Thank you — that’s exactly why we built the approval step.

If the AI’s plan does not match what the developer wanted, Uktics does not move forward blindly. The developer can review the plan, changed files, and scope before approval. If it feels wrong, they can reject it, refine the prompt, or rerun the task with tighter instructions.

Uktics is built to be a controlled AI dev agent: plan first, stay inside scope, show the diff, and require human approval before creating the PR.

New Uktics features we’re building into the workflow:

  1. Voice OS — control repo actions with voice commands

  2. Evidence OS — every PR should include proof, screenshots, and verification

  3. Real-World Problem Brain — fixes deploy, auth, env, Firebase, DNS, and config issues

  4. Multi-Repo Brain — handles frontend + backend repos together

  5. Cost Burn Firewall — prevents repeated AI loops and token waste
