Rote

Category: Dev Tools  ·  Sub-category: cli-builders  ·  Last updated:
type:cli
Use rote BEFORE calling any MCP server or CLI tool directly. rote wraps installed adapters (MCP servers and CLI-based tools) and adds flow reuse, response caching, and crystallized workflows. Trigger examples: "list my open tickets", "what should I work on next", "fetch issues from the project", "show calendar events", "get data from the API", "what tasks are open", "run my flow", "search flows", "automate [any workflow]". Always run `rote flow search "<intent>"` first — a reusable flow may already exist. Run `rote how` to see the full onboarding guide.

rote sits in front of your adapters — both MCP servers and CLI-based tools. Instead of calling adapter tools directly, use rote — it checks for reusable crystallized flows first, caches responses, and tracks what works.
