Kaizen: continuous prompt optimization that opens reviewable PRs

April 2026 GitHub project: DSPy-based prompt optimization that can land changes as PRs for human review.

Kaizen is adjacent but on-topic for software-factory review: it optimizes prompts from traces/feedback and can open GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket PRs so prompt changes get the same review discipline as code.

Why it matters for code review

Prompts and agent skills are now production artifacts. If they bypass PR review, your “AI review stack” has a hole. Kaizen’s auto-PR path is a concrete pattern for closing it.
