The Ecosystem
The Ecosystem is Rook’s north star: one mind plans, many hands build. Where Multi-Agent splits work inside a single file, the Ecosystem splits it across files — the natural unit of a real project.
One mind plans. Many hands build.
Two tiers
Section titled “Two tiers”- One expensive brain — a cloud coordinator (Claude Desktop / Codex) plans across files, options, and disciplines.
- Many cheap hands — local swarms work each file in parallel, ideally at near-
zero cost per file:
- one file doing in-file modelling
- one mostly deterministic
- one running retry loops
- Fan-in — the results recombine through native Rhino composition: worksessions, import, linked models, references, and blocks → a master model.
The entity model
Section titled “The entity model”| Entity | What it is |
|---|---|
| Session | a live execution context — disposable |
| Artifact | a .3dm produced or consumed — durable |
| Work Unit | a role, its constraints, and the expected output |
| Merge Contract | how an artifact recombines — an edge, not a registry |
The subsidy
Section titled “The subsidy”The knowledge graph is what lets the cheap tier stay competent: intent routing carries the skill, so the local model doesn’t have to. That’s what makes “many cheap hands” actually work.
