rutis

Active·★ 149·MIT·Updated 2026-10-22

rutis is a plugin runtime with a small Rust core for software that writes, swaps and hot-reloads its own plugins, including agents. It guarantees dependency-ordered start, exactly-once cleanup and rollback on failure, with plugins in TypeScript, Python and Go running across processes and machines.

Features

01Lifecycle guarantees: gated start, LIFO cleanup that runs exactly once, and rollback when a load fails
02`rutis-host dev` reloads a plugin when its files change, and configuration updates live
03`rutis-host check` lists each plugin's dependencies and what it provides, and fails on a service nothing provides
04Plugins in TypeScript, Python, Go or Rust call each other's services by name, in-process or across machines
05Replacing a provider, even with one in another language, makes the plugins that use it follow

Use cases

↳Letting an agent write, test and replace its own tools without restarting the program
↳Building long-running services whose integrations can be hot-swapped safely
↳Mixing Rust, Node, Python and Go components in one application with clear dependencies
↳Prototyping a coding agent where the model, tools and interface are all plugins
