llm-rovodev 0.1.3

LLM plugin exposing the RovoDev model for the llm CLI

llm-rovodev

Plugin for LLM adding a model called rovodev that shells out to acli rovodev run and returns the parsed response.

Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as LLM:

llm install llm-rovodev

To learn more about installing and using the Rovo Dev CLI itself, see: Introducing Rovo Dev CLI – AI-Powered Development in your terminal.

Usage

This plugin adds a model called rovodev. You can execute it like this:

# Basic usage
llm -m rovodev "What is 2+2?"

# Allow up to 15 minutes for complex runs (minimum enforced is 120s)
llm -m rovodev -o timeout_seconds 900 "Run a long multi-step task"

By default it parses the box-drawn "Response" section from the external acli rovodev run output and prints just that content.

Notes:

• The plugin executes an external CLI: acli rovodev run.
• Rovodev non-interactive "run" prompts can only contain 256 characters. To work around this, if your prompt exceeds 256 characters, the plugin writes it to a file under ./.llm-rovodev/ and instructs the agent to read it. These files are deleted after the next run of llm using this plugin.
• Many advanced features are not yet supported: no API keys, no schemas, no tools, no attachments, no token usage tracking, etc.
• Enable LLM_ROVODEV_DEBUG=1 to see the exact command, redacted env, timing, and (on errors or missing Response blocks) full stdout/stderr. This can help diagnose CLI behavior quickly.
• Options:
  • -o yolo true forwards --yolo to acli rovodev run.
  • -o config-file <path> forwards --config-file <path> to acli rovodev run. Relative paths are normalized to absolute before being passed through. The config file can set which model Rovo Dev runs with, whether sessions are persisted between runs, and more.
  • -o timeout <seconds, minimum 120> to set a timeout which will kill the subprocess that spawned rovodev.
  • -o raw true will output unfiltered stdout text from acli rovodev subprocess.
