Minions – Stripe's Coding Agents Part 2
Stripe’s minions are unattended LLM‑driven coding agents that now generate over 1,300 pull requests each week, all created without human‑written code. The system runs on Stripe’s pre‑warmed devboxes—standardized EC2 instances that spin up in about ten seconds—providing isolated, parallel environments for each agent. Minions use a custom "blueprint" orchestration that mixes deterministic workflow nodes with flexible LLM loops, while pulling context from scoped rule files and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). A centralized Toolshed server supplies nearly 500 curated MCP tools, enabling secure, low‑token, automated feedback and CI iteration.
