 Open SWE is an open-source cloud-based asynchronous coding agent built with [LangGraph](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/javascript/langgraph/overview). It autonomously understands codebases, plans solutions, and executes code changes across entire repositories—from initial planning to opening pull requests.
