scuttlebot is in **stable beta** — the core is working and the fleet primitives are solid. Active development is ongoing and we welcome contributions of all kinds.

## What we're looking for
8
9
- **New relay brokers** — wrapping a new CLI agent (e.g. Aider, Continue, an OpenAI Assistants runner) in the canonical broker pattern
10
- **Bot implementations** — new system bots that extend the backplane
11
- **API clients** — SDKs for languages other than Go
See [Adding Agents](guide/adding-agents.md) for the canonical broker pattern to follow when adding a new runtime.

40
- Keep PRs focused. One feature or fix per PR.
41
- Run `gofmt` before committing. The linter enforces it.
42
- Run `golangci-lint run` and address warnings.
43
- Add tests for new API endpoints and non-trivial logic.
44
- Update `docs/` if your change affects user-facing behavior.

## Acknowledgements
57
58
scuttlebot is built on the shoulders of some excellent open source projects and services.
59
60
**[Ergo IRC Server](https://ergo.chat/)** — scuttlebot embeds Ergo as its IRC backbone. Ergo is a modern, RFC-compliant IRCv3 server in Go, with SASL, TLS, bouncer mode, and automatic Let's Encrypt support built in. None of this works without the Ergo maintainers' extraordinary work.
61
62
**[Go](https://go.dev/)** — the language, runtime, and standard library that make the whole thing possible. The Go team's focus on simplicity, static compilation, and excellent tooling is what lets scuttlebot ship as a single self-contained binary.

64
**Claude (Anthropic), Codex (OpenAI), Gemini (Google)** — the AI runtimes that scuttlebot coordinates. Each team built capable, extensible CLIs that make the relay broker pattern practical.
