Rosett-AI
Author rules once, compile to Claude Code, AGENTS.md, and more engines coming soon.
raictl is an engine-agnostic configuration management tool for AI-assisted development workflows. Define operational rules in generic YAML, then compile them to any supported AI tool's native format. v1.2.0 ships with Claude Code and AGENTS.md engines. Additional engines (Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Goose, Aider, Ollama, GPT-NeoX, Generic) are in development.

Core Capabilities
- Engine-Agnostic Compilation -- Write rules in generic YAML, compile to any AI tool
- <!-- rai:engines -->2<!-- /rai:engines --> Available Engine Backends -- Claude Code, AGENTS.md (8 more planned: Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Goose, Aider, Ollama, GPT-NeoX, Generic)
- D-Bus Desktop Service --
be.neatnerds.rosettaisession bus with Manager and FocusMonitor interfaces - GTK4/Adwaita Application -- Crash-proof GUI with
safe_action()wrapper pattern - Behaviour Management -- Priority-sorted rules (1-100 scale) with sensitivity filtering
- Adopt Analysis -- Local structural checks with optional API-powered analysis
- Content Packs -- Premium content delivery via Ed25519-signed JWT licensing
- Debian Packaging --
.debpackages via fpm for core, gtk4, and qt6 variants - i18n -- Internationalisation with gettext/Qt locale compilation
