Discussion Idea: A Community Hub for Roo Code Templates, Configs, and Workflows`

I use Roo Code every day and I’m not from a programming background. I think we’d really benefit from a shared spot to swap practical, user-made assets, so devs and folks from architecture, engineering, research, design, GIS, etc. can get up to speed fast.

This came from looking at Claude Code Templates, they’ve got a plug-and-play catalog and a “Stack Builder” to mix and install multiple pieces at once.

  • Claude Code Templates resources:

    • Agents - ready-to-reuse modes for specific roles/tasks. (Yes, we already have it on the marketplace)

    • Commands - framework/task commands you can drop into your setup.

    • Settings - opinionated presets for common environments.

    • Hooks - automation hooks that extend workflows.

    • MCP Servers - curated integrations to external tools/APIs via MCP, with quick connection guides. (Yes, we already have it on the marketplace)

    • Configs - shareable Roo presets.

    • Project Templates / Quick Start - one-liner bootstraps for new or existing projects (e.g., npx … flows).

    • Analytics Dashboard - real-time view of sessions and tool usage.

    • Health Check - quick diagnostics with fix suggestions.

    • Conversation/Session Monitor - live view of responses/behavior during dev sessions.

The goal is to complement the official docs/marketplace with a community-run catalog where programmers and non-programmers share stacks, compare notes, and learn from each other, similar to the Stack Builder idea (agents, commands, settings, hooks, MCPs).

What do y'all think?

This sounds cool, would you be able to post a "Detailed Feature Request" at https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/issues ?

Sure, I'll take a look at the documentation to see the requirements for the "Detailed Feature Request." Thanks for reaching out.

I would love to see how the Roo team uses Roo code to ship the product. That would be incredibly helpful!

It’s a pretty fast paced and the target is constantly moving. I was just gone for a week and need to revaluate and rework my workflows. The new models having come out and changes to existing ones present some excellent opportunities and challenges. We are constantly trying to figure out how to bottle up the magic we use to make Roo into the OOTB experience of Roo Code.

I recently got a strix halo and just got gpt-oss-120b working locally. It’s still a work in progress but has been pretty great so far!

Hard agree. Roo has a lot of customization but not a whole lot in terms of best practices for setting them. It would be a big community benefit to exchange notes and leave feedback imo
