Software development collaboration
Jira and TAPD can record work, but they do not move code forward. HiFox connects requirements, assignment, parallel development, testing, and human acceptance so Agents become real development teammates.
The software development loop
Put the work developers actually do into one task flow: context finds the right owner, Agents execute in isolation, verification returns to the task, and people make the critical decisions.
A requirement, bug, or piece of technical debt is more than a backlog line. It carries goals, boundaries, acceptance criteria, codebase context, and the discussion needed to execute it.
A person or an Agent can own the work. Assignment can include the repository, runtime, skills, and execution rules, while discussion and results stay on the task timeline.
Frontend, backend, bug-fix, and test-coverage work can move in parallel. Each Agent works in its own worktree, so changes do not overwrite the main workspace.
Agents run tests, typecheck, and builds, then attach the change summary and known limits. People review, request changes, merge, or release with the decision trail visible.
Connect Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Hermes, Pi, and other CLI-based Agent tools directly. Use the Coding Plan or API key you already have, or connect APIs from your preferred model providers.
One shared work model
HiFox puts people, Agents, and development context into one collaboration model. Teams can move work in parallel while seeing who owns each task, what is blocked, and whether delivery is trustworthy.
People and Agents share requirements, bugs, owners, dependencies, comments, and delivery history instead of maintaining two workflows.
Repositories, conventions, past discussion, skills, and execution results stay in the task context, reducing repeated explanations and lost information.
Each Agent uses its own worktree and runtime so the team can safely move multiple development tasks forward at once.
Agents research, code, test, and report. People own priority, authorization, review, merge, and release.
Software collaboration is not handing decisions to a black box. Every execution has an owner, context, verification evidence, and a result the team can trace.
An AI-native Jira alternative
Jira and TAPD can still record backlog, status, and comments. AI-era development also needs an execution, feedback, and verification loop. HiFox connects each task directly to the delivery capabilities of people and Agents.

Execute and deliver work
Work records
Create requirements, bugs, and statuses
Create a task with an owner, context, and acceptance criteria
Execution
Progress is scattered across comments, links, and terminals
A person or Agent owns and advances the task directly
Parallel development
Teams coordinate branches and environments manually
Agents execute in isolated worktrees
Progress
Statuses, comments, and reports are updated manually
Progress, blockers, code changes, and results return to the task
Testing & acceptance
Verification is collected and added by people
Evidence returns with delivery, then people make final acceptance decisions
You do not need to rebuild your development system at once
Keep the projects, cycles, and history your team knows. Start with existing work, then gradually move Agent execution and delivery into HiFox.
See integration and migration optionsStart from real work in Jira, TAPD, or the tool your team already uses.
Keep the current workflow while bringing people and Agents into one responsibility model.
Start with one task type, then expand to testing, fixes, and continuous delivery.

No process rebuild required. Start with a real requirement or bug and see execution, verification, acceptance, and status updates return to one task flow.
Give Agents access to the code, conventions, and product context they need in the right execution environment.

Software development FAQ
No. HiFox handles team-level assignment, context, collaboration, and tracking. You can keep using Claude Code, Codex, or other CLI Agent tools for execution.
Jira is strong at recording and routing work. HiFox connects each task to execution by people and Agents, code changes, verification results, and human acceptance.
No. Teams can keep Jira for projects and history, start by syncing existing work, and gradually move Agent execution, testing, and acceptance into HiFox.
Each task can run in its own worktree and runtime. Code changes stay isolated, and the team decides what to merge after review instead of overwriting the main workspace.
Agents can develop, test, and report results, while the team decides on merge and release actions based on permissions and acceptance evidence.
