Rome is a self-hostable agent operating system where humans and agents build, reuse, and refine actions, skills, and apps over time.

This file holds every use case of this repo. Each one starts with a "## " heading and ends with its URL.

## How to run a code review loop until no merge blockers remain with Rome

Repo: [rome-os/rome](https://github.com/rome-os/rome) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 45 minutes | Basis: From the README

Have Rome work through P1 and P2 review comments until a pull request has no merge blockers left.

**Who it is for:** A developer or tech lead with an open pull request that has blocking review comments and needs them cleared before merge.

**The problem:** Blocking review comments pile up, and each fix needs a round of edits, checks, and status updates.

**The outcome:** The blocking comments are addressed and the agent reports which blockers, if any, remain.

### Steps

1. Run `git clone https://github.com/rome-os/rome.git`
2. Run `cd rome`
3. Run `./scripts/quickstart-docker.sh`
4. Open http://localhost:7663 and finish first-run onboarding.
5. In chat, ask Rome: "Fix all P1 and P2 review comments until there are no merge blockers left. Let me know when you finish."

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the rome-os/rome instance at http://localhost:7663, ask Rome to fix all P1 and P2 review comments on <pull-request-url> until no merge blockers remain. Expected output: a summary of the changes made and any blockers still open. Verify on the pull request that each addressed comment is resolved before reporting completion.
```

### Caveat

The README gives this request as an example of what Rome can follow through on, not as a documented code review integration, so confirm how Rome reaches your repository before relying on it.

Risk, credentials: The agent needs write access to the pull request, so grant repository access only for the target repository and revoke it after the review loop ends.

## How to build a missing app from a plain-language description with Rome

Repo: [rome-os/rome](https://github.com/rome-os/rome) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 45 minutes | Basis: From the README

Describe a recurring need to Rome and have it scaffold, build, and iterate on a Rome App in one conversation.

**Who it is for:** A small business owner or power user who repeats the same task across chats and wants a dedicated tool for it.

**The problem:** Chat is good for one-off asks, but repeated work needs a place with its own data, actions, and interface.

**The outcome:** A git-tracked Rome App that keeps its data and workflows after the conversation ends, which you can keep private or publish.

### Steps

1. Run `git clone https://github.com/rome-os/rome.git`
2. Run `cd rome`
3. Run `./scripts/quickstart-docker.sh`
4. Open http://localhost:7663 and describe the app you need in plain language.
5. Ask Rome to iterate on the app in the same conversation until it fits the job.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the rome-os/rome instance at http://localhost:7663, describe <recurring-task> to Rome so it builds a Rome App for it. Expected output: an app with an app.yaml manifest and its source in git. Verify that the app still works after the browser is closed and the conversation ends.
```

### Caveat

The README describes Rome apps and the App Store but does not list which app categories are supported, so check the building guide at https://romeos.cc/docs/building-apps before scoping a large app.

## How to track a product price and get alerted on a drop with Rome

Repo: [rome-os/rome](https://github.com/rome-os/rome) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Ask Rome to watch a price and message you when it falls below your target.

**Who it is for:** A shopper waiting for a price drop on a game or product before buying.

**The problem:** Checking a price by hand is tedious, and the moment it drops is easy to miss.

**The outcome:** Rome keeps watching the price and tells you when it drops below your threshold.

### Steps

1. Run `git clone https://github.com/rome-os/rome.git`
2. Run `cd rome`
3. Run `./scripts/quickstart-docker.sh`
4. Open http://localhost:7663 and connect a chat channel such as Telegram, Discord, or WhatsApp if you want alerts there.
5. Ask Rome: "Track the price of <product-url> and let me know when it drops below <target-price>."

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the rome-os/rome instance at http://localhost:7663, ask Rome to track the price of <product-url> and notify me when it drops below <target-price>. Expected output: a confirmation that the price is being watched and a notification when the threshold is crossed. Verify that a test notification reaches the chosen chat channel.
```

### Caveat

The README gives price tracking as an example request and does not say which retailers or price sources Rome can read, so test with one product before trusting the alert.

## How to sort an inbox and draft replies for messages that need you with Rome

Repo: [rome-os/rome](https://github.com/rome-os/rome) | Difficulty: Advanced | Time: 60 minutes | Basis: From the README

Have Rome archive the noise, flag urgent mail, and draft replies that you review before sending.

**Who it is for:** A busy professional whose inbox fills with routine mail and urgent items mixed together.

**The problem:** Sorting mail by hand takes time, and urgent messages get buried under newsletters and notifications.

**The outcome:** The inbox is sorted, urgent messages are flagged, and draft replies wait for your review.

### Steps

1. Run `git clone https://github.com/rome-os/rome.git`
2. Run `cd rome`
3. Run `./scripts/quickstart-docker.sh`
4. Open http://localhost:7663, connect the mailbox you want Rome to sort, and confirm the access you grant.
5. Ask Rome: "Sort my inbox. Archive the noise, flag anything urgent, and draft replies for messages that need me."

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the rome-os/rome instance at http://localhost:7663, ask Rome to sort <mailbox-name>, archive routine mail, flag urgent messages, and draft replies for messages that need a human answer. Expected output: a list of archived, flagged, and drafted messages. Verify that no reply was sent without your review.
```

### Caveat

The README does not document a mail connector or which mail providers are supported, so confirm the mailbox integration in the docs before planning around it.

Risk, credentials: Granting Rome access to a mailbox lets it read every message and change labels or archive state, so use a narrow, revocable grant and review the action log.
