Fast Lane

Fast Lane is a terminal app that watches your GitHub repositories and hands the routine work to Claude Code: reviewing pull requests, fixing CI, bumping dependencies, answering review requests and mentions. It runs Claude in its own git worktrees, never in your checkouts, and asks you through a dialog whenever a decision is yours.

The Events tab: open PRs, issues and alerts, what changed, and what Claude is doing about each

You choose what happens on its own. Auto rules pick which PRs, issues and alerts start a session, which changes (CI failing, changes requested, a merge conflict…) resume one, and what Claude may do without asking.
