Agent skill · davila7
rote
Compile a proven agent skill (a SKILL.md plus references) into a deterministic pipeline that runs without an LLM in the loop, then serve it back to Claude as an MCP tool. Use when: rote, compile this skill, turn this skill into a workflow, make this skill deterministic, make this skill cheaper or faster, harden this skill for production, run this skill as a background job.

What this skill does
rote: compile a skill into a deterministic pipeline You orchestrate the rote CLI. It runs an LLM compiler agent over a source skill once, and emits a pipeline that runs forever after without an agent loop. Your job is to resolve the inputs, run the CLI, and interpret the output. You never classify nodes or write pipeline.yaml yourself; the CLI's compiler agent does that. When this applies Use it on a skill the user has already run many times and wants to run many more, unattended. Exploratory or one-off work should stay an agent loop: flexibility is the point there, and there is nothing proven to compile yet. Say so and stop if that is what you are looking at. 1. Identify the source skill The source is a directory containing a SKILL.md, optionally with a references/ folder. The user names it, or you infer it from context: a skill just discussed, a path in the conversation, .claude/skills/ or skills/ in the project. Confirm the resolved absolute path with the user before running. Compilation costs real time and tokens, so never guess and go. If the directory has no SKILL.md, stop and ask. 2. Pick a runtime target Runtime --runtime Language Choose when --- --- --- --- DBOS (default) dbos Python No orchestrator to deploy. SQLite for dev, Postgres for prod Temporal temporal Python You already operate a Temporal cluster Plain Python python Python Max legibility, stdlib only. Refuses pipelines with HITL gates Cloudflare Workflows cloudflare TypeScript Serverless, managed, wrangler deploy-ready DBOS (TypeScript) dbos-ts TypeScript Zero orchestrator on the TS side. Postgres only Inngest inngest TypeScript Mounting into an existing Node or Next.js app If the user has no opinion and no existing infrastructure, use dbos. It is the default and the only Python target with zero standing infrastructure, so you can omit --runtime entirely. 3. Resolve the CLI The CLI ships on PyPI as rote-cli and its executable is named rote. …
