OpenSwitchboard is open source

[justinhelmer]

OpenSwitchboard is open source under the Apache License 2.0, as of v1.19.3.

Mention it in Slack and an agent reviews the PR, ships the fix, or answers the question — on the model you choose, with its tools running where you decide.

Try it

Node 24 and an Anthropic API key. No Slack needed for the first answer.

npx @coreplane/switchboard init --organization <your GitHub org> --anthropic-key <your key>
npx @coreplane/switchboard ask "what can you do?"

init writes .env and config/config.yaml into ~/.switchboard; ask runs the whole pipeline and prints the general agent's answer. Get started takes it from there to Slack and to a production deployment on Cloudflare.

What ships on every release

• @coreplane/switchboard on npm, published through trusted publishing — no token anywhere.

• Three images on GHCR (switchboard, switchboard-resident, switchboard-sandbox), each with SLSA build provenance and an SPDX SBOM. Check one yourself:

  gh attestation verify oci://ghcr.io/coreplanelabs/switchboard:1.19.3 --owner coreplanelabs

• Docs at openswitchboard.dev.

How it is put together

Four seams — Channel, Provider, Executor, Agent — each an interface with more than one implementation, and a dispatcher between them for directives, config layers and authorization. Architecture and How a request flows are the two pages to read first; every non-obvious choice has a decision record.

Contributing

Bugs and small fixes: open a pull request. Anything that changes behavior or a public surface: start a thread here in Discussions or an issue first. Security problems go through private vulnerability reporting, never a public issue. CONTRIBUTING.md has the setup and the review loop — every PR here is reviewed by Switchboard itself, in the open.
