rab is a lightweight, extensible, Rust-based coding agent.

Inspired by pi coding agent.

rab is an archaic Slavic word for slave or servant, commonly found in the phrase Раб Божији (Rab Božiji) — Servant of God. It shares the same origin with a robot, carrying the same notion of a servant who performs work on behalf of another — a fitting name for an agent broker that orchestrates tireless AI agents. Some call coding agents clankers — a term that evokes clumsy, rattling machinery. rab is the opposite: a quiet, devoted servant, faithful rather than noisy.
