rooroo is a minimalist AI orchestration framework for VS Code, designed to streamline software development with specialized AI agents. It targets developers seeking a structured, efficient workflow for complex tasks, offering a clear Navigator-led process and organized artifact management.

How It Works

rooroo employs a Navigator-led orchestration model, where a central Navigator agent manages task decomposition, dispatch, and reporting. It utilizes specialized agents (Planner, Developer, Analyzer, Documenter, Idea Sparker) with distinct roles, promoting minimalism and specialization. Tasks are managed via a .rooroo/queue.jsonl file, with detailed briefings in .rooroo/tasks/TASK_ID/context.md that prioritize links over embedded content for efficiency. Agents report back using a structured JSON "Output Envelope."

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install the Roo Code VS Code extension.
• Load your .roomodes file (YAML for v3.18.0+, JSON for earlier).
• Reload VS Code.
• Initiate by selecting the Rooroo Navigator and stating your goal.
• Optional: Create a .roo/rules/ directory for custom agent instructions.
• See Workflow Diagram for process details.
