Open SWE

LangChain coding agent that plans, implements and reviews pull requests

Stars: 11k
License: MIT
Last commit: Oct 2026
Last release: Oct 2026

Overview

LangGraph-based agent that investigates a repository, implements changes in a per-thread Linux sandbox, validates them and opens a pull request, then reviews PRs and watches CI with /baby-sit. Work starts from a dashboard, GitHub issues or PR comments, Slack or Linear. Deploys into your infrastructure with a backend, dashboard, GitHub and Slack apps, for teams building an internal coding-agent service.

Who it is for: Engineering teams building an internal coding-agent service

Strengths

Covers build, review, investigate and operate flows, with subagents for parallel work
Durable execution and thread state via LangGraph; sandboxes persist per thread
Configurable models, reasoning effort, skills, MCP integrations and sandbox providers
Push approvals gate detected git pushes; PR chat excludes mutation tools

Weaknesses

Production standalone Agent Server deployments require a license key
Maintainers are not accepting issues or contributions; breaking changes expected
LangSmith is the default sandbox and tracing provider; alternatives need configuration
CLI mode executes commands locally as you, with no sandbox isolation

What it needs

no GPU
Docker + Compose
Needs LangSmith (default sandbox and tracing), GitHub App, Slack app (optional), model provider credentials
Models: configurable LLM providers

How to choose

Check which models it can use: your own keys, local models, or only the vendor's.
See what it may do without asking (edit files, run shell, push) and how you approve.
Prefer agents that work in a branch or worktree you can throw away.
