What's built today

Rooben ships with a complete spec-driven orchestration engine. Everything below is live in v0.1.0.

Orchestration

  • ✓Spec-as-contract — validated YAML/JSON specs reviewed before execution
  • ✓LLM-based planning — automatic decomposition into DAGs of parallel tasks
  • ✓Multi-agent execution — fan-out/fan-in with concurrency, retries, circuit breakers
  • ✓Checkpoint and resume — periodic state snapshots for crash recovery
  • ✓Replanning — re-decomposes remaining work when tasks fail
  • ✓Deadlock detection — cancels blocked tasks instead of hanging

Verification

  • ✓Chained verifier — multiple strategies in sequence (test runner + LLM judge)
  • ✓Test runner — executes pytest against skeleton and generated tests
  • ✓LLM judge — Claude/GPT evaluates output against acceptance criteria
  • ✓Feedback loops — failed verification produces specific feedback for retries

Agents & Providers

  • ✓Four agent transports — LLM, MCP, HTTP, Subprocess
  • ✓Four LLM providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Ollama
  • ✓MCP toolkit registry — 10 built-in toolkits with auto-detection by domain

Trust & Safety

  • ✓Per-workflow budget enforcement — hard limits on tokens, USD, wall-time, concurrency
  • ✓Cost tracking — per-call, per-task, per-agent, per-workflow attribution
  • ✓Rate limiting — token-bucket limiter per agent
  • ✓Credential sanitization — automatic redaction of keys and secrets

Extensions

  • ✓Plugin system — pip-installable via Python entry points
  • ✓17 bundled extensions — 11 templates, 3 integrations, 3 agents
  • ✓AI-assisted builder — create new integrations through conversation
  • ✓Extension manifest — rooben-extension.yaml for integrations, templates, agents

Dashboard

  • ✓Web UI — React + FastAPI with live DAG monitoring and verification display
  • ✓Scheduling — cron-based recurring workflows with lifecycle management
  • ✓Community browsing — discover and install extensions from the hub
  • ✓Setup wizard — guided first-run with API key configuration

Developer Experience

  • ✓Interactive refinement — rooben refine interviews you and builds a spec
  • ✓Quick start — rooben go "..." generates and runs from a single sentence
  • ✓SDK — six protocols for building on top of Rooben
  • ✓Cross-run learning — agent insights stored and injected into future prompts

CROSS-LLM PROVIDER

Every workflow uses the best model for each task

Rooben already orchestrates across providers. What's coming makes it even smarter.

Already Built

  • ✓Workflows use Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock, and Ollama simultaneously
  • ✓Per-task provider routing based on agent configuration
  • ✓Cost tracking across all providers in a single workflow

Coming Soon

  • ○Cross-provider skill generation — specs that leverage each model’s strengths
  • ○Model arbitrage — auto-select the cheapest model that meets quality thresholds
  • ○Cross-provider agent marketplace — share and discover multi-model workflows
