SuperPlane 1.0: The Open Source Software Factory for Teams

SuperPlane is an open source software factory designed to streamline the workflow of engineering teams. It automates the process from ticket to verified, merged pull request, ensuring shared standards and full visibility across the team. Each engineer on the team is assigned their own coding agent, but these agents must be coordinated and overseen to avoid duplicate efforts and ensure optimal performance.

The problem with most agent tools is that they are designed with the individual user in mind, rather than the team. This leads to a situation where each engineer runs their agent in their own unique way, resulting in forty private workflows and a lack of transparency. Furthermore, the agents still require oversight, as someone must determine whether a task is ready for execution, verify the results, manage CI, and address review comments.

Engineering teams often spend a significant amount of time on routine work, with engineers acting as "water carriers" for their agents. This is an automation problem that can be solved through a software factory. The recent rise in the detection of critical vulnerabilities in software dependencies highlights the need for faster response times. SuperPlane enables teams to address these vulnerabilities within an hour, even overnight, by starting the work immediately after a CVE lands.

SuperPlane is an open source, model-agnostic software factory that sits around your coding agents, providing a single, repeatable path from ticket to verified, merged pull request. The platform reads your backlog, scores each task for clarity, complexity, and verifiability, and helps improve weak spots before the task is executed.

Once a change is made, SuperPlane provides evidence such as passing checks, screenshots, recordings, and notes about any unverified aspects. Human or agent reviewers then review this evidence before it is merged into the main codebase.

The platform runs on your infrastructure and integrates with any models and agents you choose. It is built for the entire team, offering a shared environment where skills, setup steps, tools, and context are accessible to everyone. Every task runs in its own cloud development environment, allowing multiple tasks to be executed in parallel. This "second shift" enables teams to accomplish more without taking time away from their primary tasks.

A software factory works best when the entire team can share, see into, and improve it. One shared environment ensures that standards, readiness checks, and verification rules are consistent across the team. Sane defaults are provided, allowing teams to build custom automations that combine deterministic and agentic steps. The factory's run history is accessible through retries and handoffs, and a "Velocity" page displays the factory's contribution to the team's output.

SuperPlane is available now and can be used incrementally, starting with small, well-defined bug fixes, dependency and security updates, and small improvements. Most teams quickly discover the benefits of implementing the standards they establish, which can be applied to larger tasks in the future. SuperPlane was developed by a team that has extensive experience building developer tools at Semaphore, helping top engineering teams ship faster with CI/CD.

They believe that every engineering team should run a software factory and that it should be an open and shared resource.
