Skills (13)

• add-agents

  Expand Rutherford's crew: discover installed ACP agents from the community registry, adopt a local Ollama or LM Studio model as a free voice, or define a new agent by hand in config. Use when the user wants more agents available to Rutherford or asks why an agent is missing.

• agent-debate

  Run a multi-round debate where several coding agents argue a question, see each other's positions, and revise across rounds on persistent sessions, with an optional judge and convergence tracking. Use when the user wants agents to argue it out, stress-test a decision, or reach consensus on a hard tr

• background-jobs

  Run long Rutherford work as a background job (mode=async) and manage it: list jobs, watch activity, poll status, fetch the result, cancel, continue a durable job, or persist a run to disk. Use when a delegation, consensus, or debate will take minutes, or the user wants to keep working while it runs.

• code-review-panel

  Review a diff or a set of changed files across multiple coding agents at a senior or principal bar — a quick independent multi-model review, or a full review-then-debate-to-consensus flow. Use when the user wants code reviewed, a change checked for ship-readiness, or a multi-model review.

• configure-defaults

  Configure Rutherford's config.toml defaults: safety posture, trusted workspaces, the enabled-agent allowlist, default effort and timeouts, persistence, and local-model auto-detection. Use when the user wants to change Rutherford's default behavior or write or edit its config file.

• configure-panels

  Create or edit saved Rutherford panels (reusable crews of agents) in panels.toon — seats, models, per-seat roles and stances, and the aggregation strategy — then hot-reload them with reload_panels. Use when the user wants to define, change, or list a named panel for consensus, debate, or review.

• configure-permissions

  Set up Claude Code permissions so Rutherford's skills and tools stop prompting: allowlist the Rutherford MCP tools and read/write access to the .rutherford directories (project and home) in settings.json. Use during setup, or when the user is tired of approving every Rutherford config edit or tool c

• configure-roles

  Author or override Rutherford role personas (reusable system prompts) under a role_dirs or .rutherford/roles directory, and apply the restart needed for roles to load. Use when the user wants a custom reviewer, architect, or other persona, or to add or edit a Rutherford role.

• delegate-task

  Hand one task to one coding agent through Rutherford and get a normalized result — read-only by default, with files in scope, a chosen model, an effort tier, a role, or a resumed session. Use when the user wants a single agent (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and so on) to read, explain, or analyze some

• multi-agent-consensus

  Ask several coding agents the same question in parallel through Rutherford and compare their answers, or collapse them to one verdict with a strategy (unanimous, majority, plurality, weighted, or rank). Use when the user wants a second and third opinion, a cross-model answer, or a vote.

• safe-write-delegation

  Let a coding agent actually edit code through Rutherford in write or yolo mode, behind the trusted-workspace gate and the git-worktree sandbox. Use when the user wants an agent to apply a fix, make changes, or implement something, not just read.

• setup-rutherford

  Set up and verify Rutherford after installing this plugin: confirm the MCP server is connected, run doctor to see which coding agents actually drive, scaffold a config.toml, and install any missing npm ACP adapters. Use right after installing the plugin, when Rutherford tools are missing, or when th

• troubleshoot-connection

  Diagnose why Rutherford agents do not drive: read doctor per-agent states (not_installed, handshake_failed, no_answer, model_unavailable, error), run connect_only probes, fix PATH, auth, adapter, and Bedrock/Vertex model-id issues, and handle entitlement cases like Grok. Use when agents fail, doctor

Subagents (1)

• rutherford-orchestrator

  Routes a request to the right Rutherford mode — delegate, consensus, debate, review, or plan — after health-checking the crew with doctor. Use when the user wants to use Rutherford for a task without naming a specific mode, or wants a fresh, independent multi-agent take on their own work. Requires t
