reqloop

reqloop is the official Baton marketplace for requirement-level engineering loops. It is a multi-plugin repository: every directory under plugins/ is an independently versioned Baton PluginPackage, while the repository root owns only marketplace discovery and shared plugin authoring rules.

Architecture at a glance

A Baton Plugin coordinates a long-running domain loop, but it does not call a Harness directly. It proposes or submits scoped work through Baton's normal input, context, permission, and routing path. Harnesses provide intelligent execution capabilities, while Harness Plugins such as devloop constrain the development loop inside a Harness.

ReqLoop connects requirement, Forge, devloop, and Kubernetes observations and turns their state and durable user decisions into Resources. Its global Product/Component/Environment/Service catalog now provides read-only deployment visibility; delivery, evaluation, and deployment writes remain longer-term work.

The intended end-to-end development flow is:

develop a plugin
  → build and validate its manifest
  → link the marketplace or plugin into Baton
  → create and enable a PluginInstance in /plugins
  → start its Plugin Worker
  → use its command and Resource/Reconcile workflow
  → restore the same loop after Baton restarts

Status

The repository grows with Baton's external Plugin host and per-Instance Worker processes. Hello validates the smallest Package lifecycle; Hello Counter and Turn Coach exercise Resource/Reconcile, Baton-owned Resource watches, and durable proposals; ReqLoop coordinates global Product, Component, Environment, and Service Resources together with the Project-scoped development loop.

Install and use in Baton

Register this Git repository as a Marketplace and install the Package you need:

baton plugins marketplace add https://github.com/compforge/reqloop.git
baton plugins install compforge/turn-coach --marketplace reqloop
baton plugins install compforge/reqloop --marketplace reqloop
baton plugins list

For local development, replace the Git URL with the path to your checkout:

baton plugins marketplace add /path/to/reqloop

Package installation makes it available to Baton. To use it in a session, start baton, enter /plugins, open Installed, select the Package, and choose Enable in this session. Turn Coach reviews completed turns and recommends the next step; ReqLoop observes devloop review completion across Workspace checkouts, asks the user to accept or ignore actionable comments once, and proposes a Harness fix only when accepted.

Plugin domain models and Connectors stay inside their owning plugin. Baton core only supplies the generic Package, Instance, Resource/Controller and Interaction contracts.

Plugins

• Hello — a minimal 0.1.0 Package for validating Marketplace discovery, installation, and loading.
• Hello Counter — demonstrates a writable Resource combined with a baton.turn Controller.
• Turn Coach — an end-to-end canary for Baton-owned Resource replay, persistent state, and proposed input.
• ReqLoop — requirement-level coordination connecting development and deployment Resources, exposing active requirements as Harness context, and observing Kubernetes-backed Services by Environment.

See the ReqLoop architecture for its domain model, reconcile flow, integration boundaries, and roadmap.

See CONTRIBUTING.md before adding a plugin.
