Roo Code

Roo-Code is an integrated development environment extension that functions as an autonomous software engineering agent. It connects large language models directly to your local file system and terminal, enabling the agent to interpret natural language requirements and execute complex development workflows.

The project distinguishes itself through a model-agnostic orchestration layer that allows developers to connect various large language model backends to their local workspace. By utilizing an iterative tool-use loop, the agent decomposes high-level tasks into sequential steps, interacting with the environment through a secure bridge that manages file operations and sandboxed terminal execution.

This extension supports a broad range of development activities, including generating source code from descriptions, refactoring existing files, and debugging technical issues. It also provides capabilities for automating build processes, running shell scripts, and integrating external tools to extend the functionality of the development environment.
