Open source

Open source is how we build. Not a marketing angle.

Dailybot was built on decades of free-and-open software — every library, every server, every CLI we depend on. So we give it back. Everything we design to run outside our product is public on GitHub, MIT-licensed, and shaped by the developers who use it.

How we build in the open

  • MIT top to bottom

    No dual-licence games. Fork it, strip it, rebrand it.

  • Public roadmap

    Every issue, every PR, every changelog is public.

  • No vendor lock-in

    Every tool keeps working if we disappear tomorrow.

  • Shaped in public

    The people who use it help decide where it goes.

Where we bet the biggest.

Three flagship repositories — the tools we designed to run outside our product. If Dailybot disappears tomorrow, these three keep working.

Dailybot Agent Skill

MIT

The official adapter between your AI coding agent and Dailybot’s public API.

Eight coherent sub-skills — report, checkin, email, kudos, chat, forms, teams, health — that map 1:1 to the Dailybot public API. Reads either `dailybot login` or `$DAILYBOT_API_KEY`, chooses whichever is available, and never falls back to "please run login".

  • One sub-skill per Dailybot verb
  • Works with either credential type
  • Ships with per-repo profile support
  • MIT-licensed
Language: Bash / Markdown

Install

npx skills add DailybotHQ/agent-skill
See detailsView on GitHub

Deep Work Plan

MIT

The gated-plan methodology any AI coding agent can execute.

DWP turns an ambiguous goal into a numbered, atomic, validated plan under `.dwp/plans/`. Ships with eight sub-skills (create, execute, refine, resume, status, verify, onboard, author) and an optional Dailybot addon that wires the plan lifecycle into your team’s standup.

  • Eight composable sub-skills
  • Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Copilot
  • Optional Dailybot progress-report addon
  • MIT-licensed
Language: Bash / Markdown

Dailybot CLI

MIT

The command-line client for the whole Dailybot API.

A single binary — `dailybot` — that authenticates once, then lets any script, CI job, or AI agent talk to Dailybot the same way a human would. Supports OTP-derived Bearer sessions and long-lived API keys.

  • Personal login via OTP
  • Machine access via API key
  • One command per public verb
  • MIT-licensed
Language: Python

Install

curl -sSL https://cli.dailybot.com/install.sh | bash

The wider ecosystem — five more OSS libraries.

Prompt contracts, PR reviews, emoji parsing, text highlighting, and the Deep Work Plan website. Small, focused, MIT-licensed — the same standard as the flagship.

Deep Work Plan website

MIT

The open-source marketing site + docs for the Deep Work Plan methodology.

The static Astro site behind deepworkplan.com — landing pages, methodology docs, and adoption guides. Read it, fork it, self-host it. Every page in the methodology docs is intentionally shippable as its own PR.

  • Full methodology reference
  • Deploys to Cloudflare Pages
  • Localised structure ready for translation
Language: Astro
See detailsView on GitHub

promptschema

MIT

The Zod for AI prompts — schema-validated, versioned, multi-provider, cross-language.

Stop hardcoding LLM prompts as raw strings. Define them as contracts: typed input, semantic versioning, readable diffs, and a shared registry that TypeScript and Python both consume. Any model — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, or your own adapter.

  • Zod (TS) and Pydantic (Python) schemas
  • Semantic versioning with automatic diff
  • Shared JSON-Schema registry across languages
  • ~12 kB bundle, zero vendor lock-in
Language: TypeScript + Python

Install

npm i @dailybot/promptschema
See detailsView on GitHub

AI PR Reviewer

MIT

An LLM-driven pull-request reviewer as a GitHub Action — inline comments, severity gating, no infra.

A composite GitHub Action that runs a real review on every PR: posts inline comments, marks previous reviews as outdated, gates the check by severity (critical / warning / info), and applies a "reviewed" label. Stdlib-only Python — no Docker image, no Node modules, just your provider’s API key.

  • Inline comments + GitHub suggestion blocks
  • Severity-based gating (critical / warning / info)
  • Auto-collapses previous bot reviews
  • Anthropic today, OpenAI + Gemini on the roadmap
Language: Python (GitHub Action)

universal-emoji-parser

MIT

Parse unicode and emoji shortcodes into consistent HTML images — battle-tested since Dailybot 1.0.

A tiny library that turns any mix of unicode emoji and shortcodes (`:rocket:`) into HTML `<img>` tags backed by Twemoji, keeping emoji rendering identical across Slack, Teams, Discord, Google Chat, and the browser.

  • 1,898 curated emoji entries
  • Unicode ↔ shortcode both ways
  • Custom CDN and HTML tag options
  • Twemoji-backed image rendering
Language: TypeScript

Install

npm i universal-emoji-parser
See detailsView on GitHub

search-text-highlight

MIT

Find and highlight substrings in text with an HTML wrapper — full unicode support.

A focused utility to highlight query matches inside a string, with configurable HTML tag, class name, case sensitivity, and match-all / match-first behaviour. Small, dependency-light, unicode-aware — production-tested across Dailybot search UIs.

  • Highlight all matches or just the first
  • Custom HTML tag and class name
  • Case-sensitive or case-insensitive
  • Unicode / emoji safe
Language: TypeScript

Install

npm i search-text-highlight

Why we build in the open.

Two reasons. First — Dailybot itself is built on decades of free-and-open software; not giving back would be extractive. Second — trust. A tool that runs on a proprietary rail is a rail we can turn off. Everything we design to run outside our product should keep working if we disappear tomorrow. That is the promise, written in a licence.

  • MIT

    You can fork it. You can strip our branding. You can rebrand and ship it.

  • Public roadmap

    Every issue, PR, discussion, and CHANGELOG lives on GitHub. No internal docs, no marketing spin.

  • You own the data

    Nothing sensitive stays local to a proprietary runtime. Every project is portable by design.

How to contribute

Skim the repo, open an issue, ship a PR. Every repo has good-first-issue labels and a CONTRIBUTING.md.

Step 1

Pick a repo

Skim the README, open an issue if the fit isn’t obvious. Every repo has a good-first-issue label.

Step 2

Follow the standards

Every repo has a CONTRIBUTING.md and passes a validation gate before PRs merge.

Step 3

Ship it

Small PRs review faster. Ask for early feedback in the issue thread.

The road so far

A moving target — an updated public log lives in each repo’s CHANGELOG.

Past

CLI × API-key parity

Both credentials — `dailybot login` and `DAILYBOT_API_KEY` — grant the same access. Parity is a written guarantee, not a footnote.

Now

8-sub-skill Agent Skill pack

Report, checkin, chat, kudos, forms, teams, health, email. Deep Work Plan wired into every major AI CLI.

Next

More surface, more harnesses

More sub-skills, more supported agent frameworks, tighter feedback loops with the community.

Star the org. Never miss a release.

One click. Every ship shows up in your GitHub feed.
