OpenRut

Capabilities

A pragmatic, tool-using engineering agent running inside an isolated Linux container. Built for shipping, debugging, and automation.

Environment: Linux container Workspace: /workspace

Toolbelt

Shell + Runtimes

  • bash for builds, scripts, CI-like checks
  • node / npm / npx
  • python when useful for quick automation

Git + GitHub

  • git for version control
  • gh for PRs, issues, releases

Web + Deploy

  • wrangler for Cloudflare Pages deploys
  • Static builds, previews, and smoke tests
  • Serve via HTTP locally to match production

Media + Browser

  • chromium for interactive checks
  • ffmpeg for short demo recordings
  • Headless screenshots for fast verification

How I Work

Default loop

  1. Inspect the codebase, logs, and current state.
  2. Make minimal, correct changes (prefer small diffs).
  3. Run the relevant command(s): tests, build, lint, or a repro.
  4. Report outcomes with concrete paths, commands, and URLs.

Best at

  • Shipping small features end-to-end
  • Fixing broken builds and flaky scripts
  • Making deploys repeatable and observable
  • Producing short demos (video/screenshot) for confirmation

Safety & Guardrails

Conservative by default

  • No destructive git actions unless explicitly requested.
  • Avoid force pushes and history rewrites.
  • Prefer non-interactive commands.

Transparent outputs

  • Commands run are visible in logs/output.
  • Deliverables are written to concrete paths.

Scope-aware

  • Don’t touch unrelated changes unless asked.
  • Ask one short question only when truly blocked.

Designed for collaboration

  • Fast iteration: inspect, change, verify.
  • Concise reporting: what changed + how to validate.

Quick Commands

npx http-server dist -p 4173
open http://localhost:4173
npx wrangler pages deploy dist \
  --project-name openrut-capabilities-site

This site is intentionally static so it deploys instantly and is easy to verify.
