rudder

What problem does it solve?

It prevents agents from improvising Rudder control-plane actions by giving a reliable, CLI-first procedure for claiming work, reading the right context, and closing issues with correct governance signals.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Heartbeat-ready orchestration: Run steps in the right order (identity → approval follow-up → inbox → mention wake → checkout → context → work → close-out).
• CLI-first control plane: Use rudder ... --json as the stable interface, with explicit rules for when API fallback is acceptable.
• Durable collaboration hygiene: Enforces checkout-before-work, structured reviewer decisions, and single close-out signals (comment/done/block/handoff).
• Organization skill management: Supports scanning, importing, listing, and enabling org skills so agents can reuse operating patterns.
• Planning and document handling: Updates issue documents with plan keys instead of appending to descriptions, and links back to #document-plan.

Quick Start

Use the rudder skill in your next heartbeat to claim one assigned issue, read its compact context, do the smallest useful chunk, and close it with exactly one structured close-out signal.
