# robld

> Roblox Studio interface for agents. A CLI (`robld`, pronounced "robuild") so coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, Cursor, and similar) can work on Roblox games like a pro.

This is the product page for humans and agents: https://robld.com/

## Prerequisites

- Roblox Studio must be installed: https://create.roblox.com/download
- macOS or Windows only. Roblox Studio is not available on Linux, so robld cannot work on Linux.

## Install

Have the user (or you) copy the install prompt from https://robld.com/ into the coding agent. That is the whole install:

1. Confirm the OS is macOS or Windows and that Roblox Studio is installed. If Linux, stop.
2. Download the matching binary:
   - https://robld.com/releases/latest/robld-darwin-arm64
   - https://robld.com/releases/latest/robld-darwin-amd64
   - https://robld.com/releases/latest/robld-windows-amd64.exe
3. Put it on PATH (`~/.local/bin/robld` on macOS, `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\robld\robld.exe` on Windows).
4. From the project folder, run `robld --install` once. That writes the Roblox skill for Claude, Grok, Codex, Cursor, and `.agents`.
5. Then the human can prompt you to create or work on a game in the current folder.

Machine-readable release metadata (version, date, sha256, download URLs):
- Latest: https://robld.com/releases/latest.json
- All versions: https://robld.com/releases.json

Do not ask the user to run these steps by hand unless a permission dialog needs a human.

## After install

- Run `robld` from the game folder until stdout contains `READY:`.
- `robld --new "Name"` creates a new place. A Roblox game URL or place id also works.
- `robld --version` prints the version. `robld --update` updates robld and reinstalls the skill.
- Luau lives on disk (Studio Script Sync). World state is `place.rbxlx`. Playtest, inspect, parts, and assets go through Studio MCP.
- If `git` is installed and the folder is not a repository, `git init` and commit often.
- Full CLI how-to is the skill written by `robld --install`.
