romyq 0.10.3

Autonomous AI software project manager

Romyq

Autonomous AI software project manager.

Give Romyq a software goal. It plans, codes, commits, audits, and keeps improving until you stop it.

Run romyq ui to launch the live dashboard while romyq run is active.

---

Install

pip install romyq

---

60-Second Quick Start

mkdir my-project
cd my-project
git init

cp .env.example .env
# Open .env and add your DEEPSEEK_API_KEY

romyq attach
# Edit mission.md — describe what you want built

romyq doctor
romyq run

That's it. Romyq takes over from here.

---

What Happens Next

• Romyq reads mission.md
• DeepSeek generates a task plan
• Claude Code implements each task
• Every successful task creates a git commit
• Romyq audits progress and keeps improving the project

Configuration

Copy the example file and fill in your keys:

cp .env.example .env

.env.example:

DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=
ROMYQ_CLAUDE_TIMEOUT=1800

---

Advanced Usage

Run against an existing repository:

romyq attach /path/to/repo
romyq run /path/to/repo

Set workspace via environment variable:

ROMYQ_WORKSPACE=/path/to/repo romyq run

---

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Claude Code installed and authenticated
• DeepSeek API key
• Git initialized in your project directory

---

Dashboard

romyq ui opens a live Textual dashboard that reads state files while romyq run is active in another terminal.

Install the dashboard:

pip install 'romyq[ui]'

Launch alongside a running loop:

# Terminal 1
romyq run

# Terminal 2
romyq ui

The dashboard polls state files every 2 seconds. No changes to the running loop are required.

---

Rate Limit Handling

When Claude hits a session or usage limit, Romyq detects it automatically instead of treating it as a task failure:

• Parses the reset time from Claude's output (e.g. resets 5:50am (Asia/Calcutta))
• Logs the reset time and timezone
• Sets status: rate_limited in state (visible in romyq ui and romyq status)
• Sleeps until the reset time plus a 5-minute safety buffer
• Retries the same task — no new DeepSeek call is wasted
• Falls back to a 30-minute sleep if the reset time cannot be parsed

The loop can be stopped early during a rate-limit sleep with romyq stop.

---

Loop Control

Run these from any terminal while romyq run is active in another:

romyq pause    # idle after current task (loop keeps running)
romyq resume   # resume a paused loop
romyq stop     # exit gracefully after current task (or wake from rate-limit sleep)

These commands write flags to .romyq/state.json. The loop reads them between tasks.
