Concepts

These concepts explain the parts of rp1 that normal users interact with: workflows, projects, context, artifacts, Arcade, reviews, and team handoffs. You do not need to understand rp1 prompt authoring or runtime internals to use the product.

  • Workflows

    A workflow is a guided path for a job such as shipping a feature, reviewing a PR, investigating a bug, or generating project context.

  • Project Context

    Project context gives rp1 enough knowledge about your codebase to follow its architecture, language, and patterns.

    Learn more

  • Artifacts

    Workflows leave durable files behind: requirements, designs, task lists, reports, reviews, walkthroughs, and readiness notes.

    Read artifacts in Arcade

  • Arcade

    Arcade shows active and completed workflows, attention needed, artifacts, links, and comments in one place.

    Monitor work

  • Reviews

    PR review workflows produce findings and walkthroughs so you can decide whether to proceed, fix, or ask for a deeper look.

    Review PRs

  • Teams

    Shared project context and artifacts help teammates understand what was planned, changed, reviewed, and released.
