- Always use Yarn as the package manager - never use npm or other package managers
- Run all general commands (e.g. not for starting a server) from the repository root using Turbo orchestration (yarn build, yarn lint, yarn format)
- Before creating new utilities or shared functions, search in packages/shared/src to see if one already exists
- When importing from the shared package, use the @open-swe/shared namespace with specific module paths
- Follow strict TypeScript practices - the codebase uses strict mode across all packages
- Use ESLint and Prettier for code quality - run yarn lint:fix and yarn format before committing
- Console logging is prohibited in the open-swe app (ESLint error) - use the `createLogger` function to create a new logger instance instead
- Build the shared package first before other packages can consume it (yarn build from the root handles this automatically via turbo repo)
- Follow existing code patterns and maintain consistency with the established architecture
- Include as few inline comments as possible
This is a Yarn workspace monorepo with Turbo build orchestration containing three main packages:
**apps/open-swe**: LangGraph agent application
- Core LangChain/LangGraph agent implementation with TypeScript
- Contains three graphs: programmer, planner, and manager (configured in langgraph.json)
- Uses strict ESLint rules including no-console errors
**apps/web**: Next.js 15 web interface
- React 19 frontend with Shadcn UI components (wrapped Radix UI) and Tailwind CSS
- Modern web stack with TypeScript, ESLint, and Prettier with Tailwind plugin
- Serves as the user interface for the LangGraph agent
**packages/shared**: Common utilities package
- Central workspace dependency providing shared types, constants, and utilities
- Exports modules via @open-swe/shared namespace (e.g., @open-swe/shared/open-swe/types)
- Must be built before other packages can import from it
- Contains crypto utilities, GraphState types, and open-swe specific modules
**Root Configuration**:
- turbo.json: Build orchestration with task dependencies and parallel execution
- .yarnrc.yml: Yarn 3.5.1 configuration with node-modules linker
- tsconfig.json: Base TypeScript configuration extended by all packages
**Package Manager**: Use Yarn exclusively (configured in .yarnrc.yml)
**Installation Process**:
- Run `yarn install` from the repository root - this handles all workspace dependencies automatically
**Key Dependencies**:
- LangChain ecosystem: @langchain/langgraph, @langchain/anthropic for agent functionality
- Next.js 15 with React 19 for web interface
- Shadcn UI (wrapped Radix UI) and Tailwind CSS for component library and styling
- TypeScript with strict mode across all packages
- Jest with ts-jest for testing framework
**Workspace Structure**: Dependencies are managed on a per-package basis, meaning dependencies should only be installed in their specific app/package. Individual packages reference the shared package via @open-swe/shared workspace dependency.
**Testing Framework**: Jest with TypeScript support via ts-jest preset and ESM module handling
**Test Types**:
- Unit tests: *.test.ts files (e.g., take-action.test.ts in __tests__ directories)
- Integration tests: *.int.test.ts files (e.g., sandbox.int.test.ts)
**Running Tests**:
- `yarn test` - Run unit tests across all packages
- `yarn test:int` - Run integration tests (apps/open-swe only)
- `yarn test:single ` - Run a specific test file
**Test Configuration**:
- 20-second timeout for longer-running tests
- Environment variables loaded via dotenv integration
- ESM module support with .js extension mapping
- Pass-with-no-tests setting for CI/CD compatibility
**Writing Tests**: Focus on testing core business logic, utilities, and agent functionality. Integration tests should verify end-to-end workflows. Use the existing test patterns and maintain consistency with the established testing structure.
