[ AI CODING ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]
An AI-generated PR opened by a persistent, tool-using coding agent operating semi-independently on a task queue, as opposed to a one-off chat-assistant code suggestion — emphasizing the agent's ongoing role, not just the PR's origin.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The backlog agent alone accounts for most of this week's agent-generated PRs."
LORE & ORIGIN
Distinguished from the broader "AI-generated PR" once teams started running dedicated coding agents against their own backlog continuously rather than prompting one-off.
