# rote™ — by modiqo

> rote™ is **agent tool infrastructure**: a local-first tool surface, execution layer, and learning canvas that turns real tool use into replayable, governable workflows (skills) teams can share. Free local execution, paid coordination. Shipping Q2 2026.

## Quick facts

- **Product:** rote™ (lowercase) — agent tool infrastructure for safe, repeatable, reusable tool execution.
- **Company:** modiqo (Modiqo Inc.)
- **Status:** Pre-launch · shipping Q2 2026 · waitlist open
- **Pricing principle:** Free local execution and tool calls; paid when teams need shared, governed coordination (libraries, retention, audit, RBAC).

## Core primitives

- **Adapter** — canonical tool surface (schema + auth + permissions) so agents don't reinvent tool usage.
- **Trace** — structured record of real tool execution: calls, sequencing, outcomes, evidence.
- **Crystallize** — convert a successful trace into a deterministic, replayable flow/skill.
- **Recall** — choose a known-good skill for an intent: faster, cheaper, more deterministic, easier to govern.
- **Hub** — shared workspace for libraries, governance, retention, RBAC, and audit.
