Looks great. Is there an onboarding/xfer workflow from an existing Claude code harness?
I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time building my wiki, feature plans, retrospectives, client overviews, meta overview, log, skills, commands and the barrier to trying a new command surface or agent is always “will I maintain my edge”.
Or am I misunderstanding? Is it that I would just spawn windows to that existing harness and get to harvest additive features/data from rowboat on top?
Edit - my typical approach would be to scrape out features from a tool like this to bolt onto my harness, why would I not do that here?
You should be able to ask the assistant to copy over your data to its 'knowledge' folder. This is in ~/.rowboat/knowledge - you could copy it over manually too. Now Rowboat should be able to access and update it. If it's under knowledge then it auto-updates with new emails, meetings etc.
Alternately you can point Rowboat directly to your folder by setting workspace in the assistant chat and it should be able to read and use it. It can update it as well, but you would need to explicitly ask it to do so.
I'm happy to onboard you over a call if you'd like (you can DM me on Discord).
That's fair and you can do that. We built Rowboat with the principle that the whole should be better than the sum of the parts - the email client, notetaker, and surfaces all write back into one knowledge graph, which then improves each of them. So it's much better if you use Rowboat end to end.
That makes sense but I guess the biggest rub for me is… do my existing skills become contradictory or overlapping with what rowboat is doing… I guess I’d want to be able to actually read the skills rowboat employs and marry them with mine so that there’s no double work and there’s an opportunity for rowboats features to be additively beneficial.
Will take you up on that! Thank you!
You can read all the built-in skills today in https://github.com/rowboatlabs/rowboat/tree/main/apps/x/pack...
Each skill lives in its own subfolder with a skill.ts, and they're registered in the catalog at skills/index.ts.
And we're releasing an update shortly that makes them all readable and editable directly in the app, so merging yours with Rowboat's the way you describe becomes straightforward. Looking forward to the call!
