Announcing Rigkit

Rigkit is presented as a TypeScript-based tool for defining and provisioning cloud development environments for coding agents, addressing the gap between locally configured machines and remote environments that lack authenticated CLIs, personal settings, and network context. Inspired by Terraform’s production-infrastructure workflow, it provides commands to preview setup changes, apply configuration steps that may require human OAuth interaction, create fresh environments from prepared snapshots, and run custom workspace operations such as opening VS Code. Rather than relying on Docker or a fixed declarative format, Rigkit treats development environments as executable code, allowing teams to handle varied authentication methods, environment variables, editor preferences, dotfiles, CI-specific overrides, and provider integrations. Its example configuration uses Freestyle VMs to create a restricted virtual machine, clone and install a Next.js project, save a snapshot, recreate workspaces from that snapshot, and generate a browser-based VS Code link.
