Warp opens source with Oz-managed agents and public roadmap

• Warp said its terminal is now open source, with the code hosted in a new GitHub repository, according to Warp's open-source announcement.
• The company also opened its roadmap and contribution process, with Warp's repo thread pointing contributors to the public repo and Warp's roadmap post saying discussions now happen in the open.
• Warp's biggest process reveal is that Warp's Oz-managed workflow post assigns coding, planning, and testing to Oz-managed agents, while community contributors focus on ideas, direction, and verification.
• The new workflow includes a built-in /feedback skill that can submit feedback and open GitHub issues from inside Warp, per Warp's feedback post.
• Warp also said Warp's sponsorship post that OpenAI is the founding sponsor of the open source repository and that the management workflows run on GPT models.

You can browse the repo, read the contribution guide, and inspect the first public roadmap issue. The unusual bit is not just that Warp opened the code. Warp's workflow diagram shows a staged pipeline where agent systems handle most implementation work, and Warp's roadmap post adds a /feedback shortcut that pipes product feedback straight into GitHub.

Warp framed the change as opening three things at once: the code, the roadmap, and the contribution process. The public repo is live at github.com/warpdotdev/warp.

That is the part most terminals promise eventually and few actually ship. Warp is now putting the product surface and the governance surface in the same public place.

Warp's contribution model is heavily agent-mediated. According to Warp's Oz-managed workflow post, Oz-managed agents do the coding, planning, and testing.

The flow diagram in Warp's workflow diagram breaks the path into seven stages:

1. Issue opened
2. Triaged
3. Ready to plan
4. Ready to implement
5. Ready to review
6. Verification
7. Shipped

Warp's stated split is simple: agents handle execution, while community members provide ideas, direction, and verification.

Warp said roadmap discussions now happen in the open, and the first public tracker is already up as roadmap issue #9233. The same post says Warp now includes a /feedback skill that can submit feedback and open GitHub issues directly from the terminal.

That makes the contribution loop unusually short. The terminal is now both the product surface and one of the intake surfaces for the repo behind it.

One more detail arrived mid-thread: Warp said OpenAI is the founding sponsor of the new repository, and that the agentic management workflows are powered by GPT models.

That ties the open source move to a specific operating model, not just a licensing change. Even the congratulatory reply from Zed's reaction post underlined how notable the move was among terminal vendors.
