disqualifier 5f91d73e1f agent callout: read from git direct, don't clone into the project
The 'from git' tab now tells the agent to read docs/ straight from the
repo URL instead of git-cloning it into the working project — clone to
/tmp only if it needs a local copy.

rethink development

The reference for building and shipping on our network: the shared libraries, the coding standards, and how to get a project deployed.

This is a public site — it documents generic patterns and conventions. Real infrastructure specifics (hostnames, internal IPs, exact topology, secrets) stay out of it; examples use placeholders like <dev>, <project>, and /srv/....

!!! tip "Point your coding agent here" Want your agent aware of our libraries, standards, and deploy rules before it writes a line? Tell it to read this handbook — so it reaches for an existing rethink-public lib instead of reinventing it, follows our conventions, and builds a deploy-ready container.

=== "From the live site"

    ```text
    Read https://docs.rethinkstudios.io and follow it: prefer our
    rethink-public libraries, match our coding standards, and make anything
    deployable per the deploy guide.
    ```

=== "From git"

    Point it straight at the repo — no need to clone into your project:

    ```text
    Read the markdown under docs/ in
    https://git.rethinkstudios.io/rethink-public/handbook and follow it:
    prefer our rethink-public libraries, match our coding standards, and make
    anything deployable per the deploy guide. Clone to /tmp if you need it
    local.
    ```

Sections

  • :material-package-variant: Libraries


    The live list of the rethink-public library suite, pulled straight from Gitea — each entry links to the repo, where the README and tags live.

  • :material-ruler-square: Standards


    House coding standards — file hygiene, docstrings, type hints, linting, and how we handle errors.

  • :material-sitemap: Workflow


    Get hands on with how we dev — our Gitea, git habits, and the plan-in-chat / build-in-Claude-Code flow, plus shell setup.

  • :material-language-python: Virtual environments


    Project-based Python isolation — local .venv, Makefile, or Docker — and local version management with pyenv.

  • :material-rocket-launch: Deploy


    How to get a project running on rethink-net — containers, paths and mounts, permissions, and secrets.
