Why rp1?

Single-pass execution — Constitutional prompts encode expert patterns with built-in rules. No iteration loops, no "let me revise that" — tasks complete in one shot.

Codebase awareness — Run knowledge-build once. Your architecture becomes context for every command. No generic advice — everything respects your patterns.

Lean context architecture — Progressive disclosure and subagent delegation keep your main thread focused. Complex work happens in specialized agents, results flow back clean.

Validate before you build — Hypothesis testing catches bad assumptions early. Design decisions get validated against your codebase before implementation begins.

Start anywhere — Full blueprints with charters and PRDs, or jump straight in with a vague idea. Structured when you need it, flexible when you don't.

Quick Start

1. Install the CLI

# macOS / Linux (Homebrew)
brew install rp1-run/tap/rp1
rp1 install

# Windows (Scoop)
scoop bucket add rp1 https://github.com/rp1-run/scoop-bucket
scoop install rp1
rp1 install

# Or use the install script
curl -fsSL https://rp1.run/install.sh | sh

Homebrew and Scoop install the rp1 CLI binary. Run rp1 install next to install integrations into detected host tools, then run rp1 verify to confirm the installation. The standalone install script already attempts the rp1 install step automatically.

2. Initialize your project

cd your-project
rp1 init

This will set up rp1 and install plugins for your AI assistant (Claude Code, OpenCode, or Codex CLI).

3. Restart your AI tool and run

/knowledge-build    # Generate your codebase knowledge base

Beta Releases

Want to try upcoming features before they're officially released?

Install Beta

brew install rp1-run/tap/rp1-beta
rp1 install

Note: You cannot have both stable and beta installed simultaneously. Installing one requires uninstalling the other first.

Verify

rp1 --version
# Should show a pre-release version like 0.7.0-beta.1

Rollback to Stable

brew uninstall rp1-beta && brew install rp1-run/tap/rp1
rp1 install

Principles

Batteries Included	Skills, subagents, and finely-tuned prompts ship out of the box. No assembly required.
Always Open Source	Fully pluggable into existing agentic tools. Your workflows, your control.
Visual-First	Heavily leans on visual language — diagrams, charts, and structured outputs for clarity.
Continuous Evolution	Keep improving and adapting as frontier models mature. Today's best, tomorrow's baseline.
Model/Tool Agnostic	No lock-in to any frontier lab or platform. Works with Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex CLI, and more coming.

Platform Support

Platform	Status
Claude Code	Available
OpenCode	Experimental
Codex CLI	Experimental
Cursor, Goose, Amp	Coming Soon
