Use a rig
Find a rig
Two ways to discover rigs — the Hub website and the CLI search.
On the Hub
Browse userig.xyz. The home page surfaces featured rigs; /use-cases groups them by purpose (research, ops, content, code review, …); /search lets you filter.
Every Hub page shows the rig's manifest (so you can see what it needs before installing) and a README rendered from the artifact.
From the CLI
rig hub search marketReturns matching author/name pairs with descriptions. The query is matched
against name, author, and description. Examples:
rig hub search "competitive intelligence"
rig hub search news
rig hub search dylan/The CLI hits the same endpoint as the website (GET /api/v1/packages?q=…).
What to look at before installing
A published rig is a snapshot of someone's workspace, plus a manifest. Before you install one you didn't write, glance at:
- The manifest — what env vars, MCP servers, tools, and plugins it expects. The Hub page shows this; from the CLI you can also
rig inspect hub:author/name(see Inspect) without installing. - Required tools — anything in
[tools]that you don't have installed (e.g.uvx, a specific language runtime) you'll need to install yourself. Rig won't install language runtimes for you. - Permissions — what Claude Code allow/deny rules the rig will write into your
.claude/settings.json. Documented in[permissions]. - Install hooks — if
[install].commandsis non-empty, those are shell commands the rig will offer to run duringrig install. Read them.
