Open at the core, local-first today
The honest version: Rhodd today is a local-first, open, deterministic compiler — and it’s pre-release (v0.1.0-rc.1). A hosted layer for teams is a direction we’re exploring, not a product you can buy. Here’s what’s real now, and what’s planned.
Open today
Everything Rhodd does runs on your machine and is yours to inspect. There is no cloud dependency to compile a baseline.
The compiler core
All nine compile stages — validate through handoff — run locally and deterministically. No account, no network.
Every artifact
Model, graph, plan, manifest, ownership, quality, .rhodd.lock and the .rhodd/ai handoff are plain files you own.
The full CLI
validate, graph, plan, generate, quality, apply, rollback, scan, compare, export and more — all in the binary.
Open on GitHub
The work happens in the open at github.com/rhodd-fdn/rhodd — read it, build it, file issues.
# install the rhodd compiler (Go binary — no npm)
sh install.sh --version v0.1.0-rc.1
# or
go install github.com/rhodd-fdn/rhodd-core/cmd/rhodd@v0.1.0-rc.1Planned, not shipping
These describe a direction, not products you can use today. They are not part of the pre-release, and the open-core boundary will be drawn as they take shape — we won’t pretend it’s settled.
Hosted coordination
Shared, server-side state and history for teams working across many repos.
Team governance
Access control and an audit trail over system definitions and changes.
A managed catalog
A registry of services and modules discoverable across a system.
Use the open core today.
Install the CLI, compile a baseline, and keep every file it writes. The hosted layer can wait until it’s real.
