SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Radicle collaboration can be complex and error-prone when setting up repositories, syncing with peers, and coordinating patches and issues across nodes. This skill provides a consolidated workflow guide and practical instructions to streamline decentralized development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Repository lifecycle: initialize, clone, seed, and sync Radicle repositories across the network.
  • Patch and issue workflows: create, review, and manage patches and issues with durable history.
  • Multi-agent orchestration: coordinate tasks across worktrees and delegates for scalable collaboration.
  • COBs support: leverage Plan COBs and Context COBs to capture plans and session observations for future sessions.
  • Cross-platform compatibility: supports both Claude Code and pi environments.

Quick Start

Initialize a new Radicle repository with rad init, then clone an existing one with rad clone and push a patch using git push rad HEAD:refs/patches.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage decentralized git repositories and sync patches across peers?

To manage decentralized git repositories, you can initialize projects with rad init, clone existing ones, and push patches using git push rad HEAD:refs/patches to sync across peers safely.

How do I create and review patches and issues in a decentralized git workflow?

Creating and reviewing patches and issues in a decentralized git workflow involves using Radicle CLI commands to submit, track, and manage collaborative code reviews with durable history across nodes.

Do I need the Radicle CLI installed to coordinate decentralized code collaboration?

Yes, coordinating decentralized code collaboration requires the Radicle CLI installed and identity setup using rad auth and rad node to provision repositories, patches, and manage peer syncing.

Can I orchestrate multi-agent worktrees for decentralized development across different environments?

Yes, you can orchestrate multi-agent worktrees for decentralized development across both Claude Code and pi environments to coordinate tasks and scale collaboration across delegates.

What are Plan COBs and Context COBs used for in Radicle collaboration?

Plan COBs and Context COBs in Radicle collaboration are used to capture plans and session observations, preserving context for future sessions and enhancing decentralized project coordination.

What is the best way to initialize a new Radicle repository and start collaborating?

The best way to initialize a new Radicle repository is using the rad init command, followed by rad clone to copy existing projects, enabling seamless decentralized git collaboration and patch creation.
