What it does

  • Runs Python, XML, and YAML launch files with their normal arguments, substitutions, and includes.
  • Shows each launched process with its state and lets you start, stop, mute, unmute, or debug it from the terminal.
  • Offers namespace view grouping processes by top-level ROS namespace with bulk start, stop, mute, and unmute.
  • Includes an optional Codex-backed Agent and Diagnosis panel for inspecting nodes and logs.
  • Provides a JSON command-line interface and a local Unix-socket session for external scripts and tools.
  • Includes an MCP stdio server so coding agents can query status, logs, and control processes.
