Roo Code Workflow: An Advanced LLM-Powered Development Setup

This gist outlines a highly effective and cost-optimized workflow for software development using Roo Code, leveraging a multi-model approach. This setup has been successfully used to build working applications, such as Baccarat game simulations with betting strategy analysis, and my personal portfolio site.

Core Components & Model Allocation

The power of this setup lies in strategically assigning different Large Language Models (LLMs) to specialized "modes" within Roo Code, optimizing for performance, cost, and specific task requirements.

Setup

On every machine in the cluster install openmpi and mlx-lm:

conda install conda-forge::openmpi
pip install -U mlx-lm

Next download the pipeline parallel run script. Download it to the same path on every machine:

This guide allows you to use the TPM on your computer to decrypt your LUKS encrypted volumes. If you are worried about a cold boot attack on your hardware please DO NOT use this guide with your root volume!

Preflight Checks

Verify that you have a TPM in your computer:

Background:

I have a mid-2012 15” non-Retina Mac book pro with a 1TB hard drive. I decided that I wanted to make my system faster by replacing the hard drive with an ssd and while I was at it I decided I also wanted to have Windows and Ubuntu partitions. Doing it this way meant that I had no data on the SSD while I experimented with partitions and boot managers although everything I did should be possible on a drive with an existing system.

Goals:

Multiple OSs installed with the ability to add more
