SuperPlane

Overview

SuperPlane is an open source AI software factory for routine engineering work. It continuously scans codebases and backlogs to identify high-confidence issues, applies workflow-level guardrails, and coordinates coding agents, source control, CI, review, approvals, and feedback. Verified changes are brought to human review, while ambiguous work stays with the team.

Key Features

• Continuous scanning of the codebase and backlog to find issues suitable for agent automation, ranked by confidence signals such as scope, available context, and test coverage.
• Workflow-level guardrails for allowed scope, required checks, review policies, approval points, and escalation paths, applied consistently to every run.
• Failure handling that captures agent or CI failures, gives the agent actionable feedback, reruns required checks, and escalates when human judgment is needed.
• Verification and review readiness, including agent review of merge confidence and remaining concerns before human approval.
• Flexible operation with any model, cloud or on-prem deployment, and coordination with existing source control, CI, and review tools.

Use Cases

• Automating focused bugs, maintenance work, paper cuts, test fixes, documentation updates, and small improvements with clear outcomes.
• Turning high-confidence backlog issues into verified, review-ready pull requests.
• Reducing engineer touchpoints and shortening the issue-to-reviewed-PR cycle for routine work.
• Applying consistent guardrails and approval policies to agent-generated changes.

Getting Started

• Sign up for SuperPlane Cloud and create a workspace.
• Connect a GitHub repository.
• Choose a small bug, a test fix, or a documentation update for the first run; SuperPlane imports the issues and assesses which tasks are suitable for an agent.
• Follow the quickstart for setup and read the product overview to learn how SuperPlane coordinates agents and verification.

Deployment & Requirements

• SuperPlane Cloud requires sign-up, a workspace, and a connected GitHub repository for the initial setup.
• Self-hosting can use Docker Compose on one Linux VM.
• Self-hosting can use Kubernetes on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• SuperPlane coordinates existing coding agents, source control, CI, and review tools; it does not replace those existing tools or infrastructure.

Before You Adopt

• License: Other. Review its terms before using, modifying, or distributing the project.
• SuperPlane depends on the coding agents, source control, CI, and review tools already used by a team rather than replacing them.
• Teams must define workflow guardrails such as allowed scope, checks, review policies, approvals, and escalation paths so SuperPlane can apply them consistently.
• Ambiguous work or tasks requiring human judgment remain with the team rather than being fully automated.
• When an agent or CI check still requires human judgment after failure feedback, the workflow pauses and escalates with context.
