rch

What problem does it solve?

Remote compilation tasks are offloaded from the local machine to a fleet of remote workers to speed up builds.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Transparent interception of common build commands (cargo, bun, gcc) and routing to remote workers.
• Smart worker selection using availability, priority, and project locality to maximize throughput.
• Project affinity and incremental builds to reuse cached assets and avoid redundant transfers.
• Fail-open design: if remote execution fails, fall back to local builds to avoid blocking developers.
• Use Case: When multiple AI coding agents or CI jobs trigger concurrent builds, RCH ensures fast, parallelized compilation without user intervention.

Quick Start

• Start the daemon: rchd &
• Create or edit ~/.config/rch/workers.toml with your worker definitions (id, host, user, key, total_slots)
• Install Claude hook: rch hook install
• Validate with: rch doctor
