Supported Tools

Rasen works with many AI coding assistants. When you run rasen init, rasen configures selected tools using your active profile/workflow selection.

How It Works

For each selected tool, rasen installs:

Skills (always): .../skills/rasen-*/SKILL.md

Skills are the only delivery format — rasen no longer generates separate per-tool slash command files. Every supported tool that natively discovers project skills (Claude Code and 15+ others) picks these up automatically; consult your tool's own docs for how it surfaces a skill as an invocable command.

By default, rasen uses the full profile, which installs every workflow. If you'd rather slim down to the everyday essentials, switch to the core profile:

propose
explore
apply
sync
archive

Switch profiles (in either direction) with rasen config profile, then run rasen update.

Non-Interactive Setup

For CI/CD or scripted setup, use --tools (and optionally --profile):

# Configure specific tools
rasen init --tools claude,codex

# Configure all supported tools
rasen init --tools all

# Skip tool configuration
rasen init --tools none

# Override profile for this init run
rasen init --profile core

Installable tool IDs (--tools): claude, codex, hermes, omp. --tools all expands to exactly these four.

Every other ID in the table above is recognized but not offered for installation: Rasen adapts its dispatch, worker lifecycle, and resume behavior per agent, and naming an unadapted one explicitly fails with a message saying so — distinct from the error for an unrecognized token.

Workflow-Dependent Installation

rasen installs workflow artifacts based on selected workflows:

Full profile (default): every workflow ID
Core profile: propose, explore, apply, sync, archive
Custom selection: any subset of built-in workflow IDs plus valid workflows installed in the user-wide library. Required workflow dependencies are selected automatically.

In other words, skill count is profile-dependent, not fixed.

Generated Skill Names

When selected by profile/workflow config, rasen generates these skills:

rasen-propose
rasen-explore
rasen-new-change
rasen-continue-change
rasen-apply-change
rasen-sync-specs
rasen-archive-change
rasen-bulk-archive-change
rasen-verify-change
rasen-onboard

See Commands for how to invoke workflows and CLI for init/update options.

User workflows generate the same tool-specific skill format as built-ins. Validated nested sidecars are copied beside the skill, and update uses the managed-artifact ledger to detect source digest changes and clean up only files Rasen generated.
