Roadmap

In the code on GitHub today.

• The rook CLI: an interactive terminal session with agent characters, plus run --ci, replay, explain, verify, init, serve and login.
• 13 IBM Bob agents as Bob Shell custom modes: a Coordinator and 12 specialists, from Scout to Surgeon.
• Rules you approve, saved in rook/rook.yaml in your repo.
• A deterministic, seeded search against the real running app that checks every approved rule after every step.
• Minimal counterexamples, replayed on the real app (10 times by default) and saved as JSON plus a regression test.
• Fixes that count only after four engine checks, delivered on a rook/fix-* branch: a pull request for a GitHub repo, a local branch for a local folder.
• A GitHub Action that runs on pull requests, keeps one report comment updated and fails the job if an approved rule breaks.
• The web app, with Google sign-in, run history and the GitHub App link.

Available, with limits you should know about.

• Guest runs on this site offer two example repos, shop-app and minishop, with recorded IBM Bob answers, 3 runs a day.
• Hosted runs of your own repos are turned off on the hosted server. Run your own repos with the CLI on your machine.
• HTTP APIs only: no libraries, pure frontends, mobile apps or ML notebooks.
• Not on PyPI: install from GitHub. Live runs need Docker and your own IBM Bob key.
• In the web app, editing a single rule, replaying a counterexample and downloading the test are not built yet.

Planned, with no dates. Plans can change.

• Hosted runs of your own repos again, from a separate runner host.
• Self-serve deletion of your runs and data from the web app.
• Editing a single rule, replaying a counterexample and downloading the test in the web app.
• More guest example repos, once the Mapper can set up their dependent actions.
• Publishing the CLI on PyPI.
• Hosted plans. No price is set.
