# Overview

> Open source AI workflows to accelerate software development

Patchwork is an open-source framework for patching and managing code repositories using large language models. PatchWork allows you to automate workflows like PR reviews, bug fixing, security patching, and more using a self-hosted CLI agent and your preferred LLMs.

## Key Components

**Steps**: A set of reusable atomic actions that define various operations.

**Prompts**: Customizable natural language instructions that can be combined with user-defined inputs and/or systeme generated output to be passed to large language models.

**Patchflows**: LLM-assisted automations such as PR reviews, code fixing, debugging. Patchflows can be run locally in your CLI and IDE, or as part of your CI/CD pipeline.

## How it Works

Here's a overview video of how Patchwork works:
