What is RooFlow?

RooFlow is an experimental, open-source system designed to enhance the Roo Code VS Code extension by providing an alternative approach to AI-assisted development. It utilizes YAML-based system prompts across five integrated modes (Flow-Architect, Flow-Code, Flow-Debug, Flow-Ask, Flow-Orchestrator), aiming for improved efficiency and reduced token consumption compared to standard Markdown prompts. RooFlow features a persistent Memory Bank system, adapted from roo-code-memory-bank, to maintain project context across sessions. Key improvements include streamlined real-time updates, clearer YAML-based rule files, and simplified setup. It offers deep AI assistant customization through its "Footgun" feature while maintaining efficient token usage, making it a powerful tool for developers looking to optimize their AI interactions within VS Code.

Best used for

Ideal for developers who need to customize their AI assistant's behavior, manage system prompts efficiently, and maintain persistent project context within VS Code.

FAQs

What is the 'Footgun Power' feature mentioned in RooFlow's description?

The 'Footgun Power' refers to Roo Code's experimental feature that RooFlow leverages for deep AI assistant customization. It allows users to fine-tune the AI's behavior and responses, offering significant control over the assistant's functionality while aiming to maintain efficient token usage.

How does RooFlow improve upon the standard Roo Code Memory Bank?

RooFlow offers several improvements, including reduced token consumption through optimized prompts, five integrated modes for different development tasks, simplified setup, streamlined real-time updates to the Memory Bank, and clearer, more maintainable YAML-based rule files for instructions.

Can RooFlow be used alongside standard Roo Code modes?

Yes, RooFlow modes are installed alongside the standard Roo Code modes. Users can switch between Flow modes and standard modes at any time within the Roo Code interface, allowing for flexible integration into existing workflows.

What are the prerequisites for installing RooFlow?

To install RooFlow, you need the Roo Code extension installed in VS Code, Git accessible in your system's PATH, Python 3 accessible as 'python3' or 'python', and the PyYAML library installed via pip.

How do I update RooFlow or its MCP server information?

To update RooFlow, simply re-run the installation script. For MCP server information, you need to copy the latest full system prompt from Roo Code, save it as `system_prompt.md` in your project root, and then re-run the installer script.
