Raid is a CLI that handles your local development workflows so you can focus on making software instead of fighting it. Builds can break when pulling master. Setup steps live in Slack and stale wikis. Raid codifies your entire workflow in a simple YAML profile — testing, patching, environment setup — as a single source of truth for every engineer on the team. Open source. Built in Go. AI-first features coming soon.
Hey PH —
I'm Alex, the engineer behind RAID.
Anytime we pulled in master we risked breaking our whole environment — builds would randomly fail, dependencies were missing, setup steps that worked last week suddenly didn't. The problem wasn't just the breakage. It was that nobody had written any of this down consistently. Every fix lived in someone's head, a Slack thread, or a Confluence page that was already six months out of date.
RAID fixes that by letting you codify your workflows in a simple YAML profile that lives in your repo. Automated testing, manual testing, patching, proxy setup, full environment spin-up — defined once, runnable by anyone, anywhere, consistently.
We've been running it in production for over a year. The next chapter is making it AI-first: built-in context generation and an MCP server that gives your AI coding tools the same understanding of your project that your senior engineers have.
Open source. Docs at raidcli.dev.
Would love feedback on:
- First-time setup — does it make sense out of the box?
- What workflows do you have that RAID doesn't handle yet?
- Anything unclear in the docs?
