<h1>OpenSRE v0.1: Build Your Own AI SRE Agents</h1>

The open-source framework for AI SRE agents, and the training and evaluation environment they need to improve. Connect the 60+ tools you already run, define your own workflows, and answer production questions on your own infrastructure.

> 🚧 Public Alpha: Core workflows are usable for early exploration, though not yet fully stable. The project is in active development, and APIs and integrations may evolve.

---

## Before you begin

Make sure you have:

- A terminal open in a code project
- A Git repository (recommended for the full workflow demonstration)

## Step 1: Install and start opensre

macOS or Linux:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://install.opensre.com | bash -s -- -gh
```

Windows (PowerShell):

```powershell
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://install.opensre.com/install.ps1))) -gh
```

Then start OpenSRE:

```bash
opensre
```

![OpenSRE CLI welcome screen with the sign-in prompt](docs/images/opensre-welcome.png)

Windows details: [Windows](docs/install/windows-local.mdx).

The installer fetches the latest build from `main` without requiring sudo. If `opensre` is not found, follow the PATH instructions printed by the installer or open a new terminal.

For supported platforms and troubleshooting, see [Install locally](https://www.opensre.com/docs/install/install-local).

## Why OpenSRE?

When something breaks in production, the evidence is scattered across logs, metrics, traces, runbooks, and Slack threads. OpenSRE is an open-source framework for AI SRE agents that resolve production incidents, built to run on your own infrastructure.

We do that because SWE-bench1 gave coding agents scalable training data and clear feedback. Production incident response still lacks an equivalent.

Distributed failures are slower, noisier, and harder to simulate and evaluate than local code tasks, which is why AI SRE, and AI for production debugging more broadly, remains unsolved.

OpenSRE is building _that_ missing layer:

> an open reinforcement learning environment for agentic infrastructure incident response, with end-to-end tests for realistic production failures

We do that by:

- building easy-to-deploy, customizable AI SRE agents for production operations and incident response
- running real-world end-to-end tests across cloud-backed scenarios [(tests/e2e)](tests/e2e)
- keeping semantic test-catalog naming so e2e vs unit and local vs cloud boundaries stay obvious [(tests/README.md)](tests/README.md)

Our mission is to build AI SRE agents on top of this, scale it to thousands of realistic infrastructure failure scenarios, and establish OpenSRE as the benchmark and training ground for AI SRE.

## Quick Start

Contributors: start at [`main.py`](main.py) for the process entrypoint map.

Run `opensre` to sign in and get started. The first launch activates the hosted model.

```bash
opensre
```

Webapp contributors can run `opensre setup --dev` to authenticate through `http://localhost:3000`.

**Interactive shell** — with no subcommand, `opensre` validates your account and starts a REPL (TTY required). You can exit and stay signed out, but the shell only opens for an active account. Describe incidents in plain language, watch the agent work, and use slash commands for session control (`/help`, `/status`, `/cost`, `/sessions`, `/resume`, `/compact`, `/new`, `/exit`), integrations (`/integrations list`, `/integrations verify`), and local agent fleet monitoring (`/agents`). Ctrl+C cancels an in-flight turn without losing session state. See **[interactive shell commands](https://www.opensre.com/docs/getting-started/interactive-shell-commands)** for the full reference.

**Headless CLI** — run one agent turn non-interactively from a terminal, script, or CI job:

```bash
opensre ask "why is checkout-api slow?"
```

See **[Headless CLI](https://www.opensre.com/docs/guides/headless-cli)** for stdin prompts, JSON output, and tool approvals.

**From Python** — drive the agent in-process from your own code (source checkout required):

```python
from bootstrap.embedded import start_embedded_session

session = start_embedded_session()
result = session.chat("why is checkout-api slow?")
if result.answered:
    print(result.primary_response_text)
```

See **[Python API](https://www.opensre.com/docs/guides/python-api)** for sessions, conversations, and custom output sinks.

**For your team's daily loop:** embed OpenSRE in the Python services and automations your teammates already use.
Start with the in-repo [Python API guide](docs/guides/python-api.mdx), then use it every day to make incident response repeatable.

Other useful commands:

```bash
opensre integrations setup
opensre fleet scan
opensre update
opensre uninstall   # remove opensre and all local data
```

---

## Deployment

An OpenSRE Cloud managed gateway, an AWS EC2 path, and a general self-hosted option:

- **OpenSRE Cloud managed gateway:** an organization admin provisions it in the web app; signed-in shell users can check, start, or stop it without handling infrastructure credentials locally.
- **Gateway (AMI + systemd):** `make build-gateway-image` then `make deploy-gateway` — Telegram gateway only, no Docker; the gateway is installed into a server image that new servers start from.
- **Self-hosted container (Railway / ECS / Vercel):** deploy the repo `Dockerfile`, select `MODE`, and set `LLM_PROVIDER` plus its API key. Use `DATABASE_URL` only when the gateway needs shared Postgres-backed state, such as Slack Events API replicas.

**[Full deployment steps and prerequisites → DEPLOYMENT.md](DEPLOYMENT.md)**

## How OpenSRE Works

When you ask a question or an alert arrives, OpenSRE automatically:

1. **Fetches** the relevant context and correlated logs, metrics, traces, and recent deploys
2. **Masks** sensitive identifiers (optional) before external LLM calls
3. **Reasons** across your connected systems to test hypotheses in a tool-calling loop
4. **Answers** with an evidence-linked response in the conversation
5. **Suggests** next steps and, optionally, executes remediation actions
6. **Posts** a summary directly to Slack, PagerDuty, or Telegram — no context switching needed

For the current code-level agent architecture after removing the old graph and chain
framework layers, see [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md).

## Security

OpenSRE is designed with production environments in mind: structured and auditable LLM prompts, local transcript handling by default, and no silent bulk export of raw logs. See **[SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md)** for responsible disclosure.

---

## Telemetry

First-party product analytics and Sentry (errors) are **opt-out**. Quick disable:

```bash
export OPENSRE_NO_TELEMETRY=1
```
