Examples¶

Rhylthyme includes built-in example programs that demonstrate different features and environment types. You can open any example directly from the web app sidebar under Examples, or use the links below.

Built-in Examples¶

Breakfast Schedule¶

JSON Structure¶

Every example follows the same structure. Here's a minimal program with two sequential steps:

{
  "programId": "hello-world",
  "name": "Hello World",
  "tracks": [
    {
      "trackId": "main",
      "name": "Main Track",
      "steps": [
        {
          "stepId": "greet",
          "name": "Greet",
          "task": "greeting",
          "duration": {"type": "fixed", "seconds": 5},
          "startTrigger": {"type": "programStart"}
        },
        {
          "stepId": "farewell",
          "name": "Farewell",
          "task": "farewell",
          "duration": {"type": "fixed", "seconds": 3},
          "startTrigger": {"type": "afterStep", "stepId": "greet"}
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

And here's a multi-track program with resource constraints:

{
  "programId": "pasta-dinner",
  "name": "Pasta Dinner",
  "tracks": [
    {
      "trackId": "pasta",
      "name": "Pasta",
      "steps": [
        {
          "stepId": "boil-water",
          "name": "Boil Water",
          "task": "cooking",
          "duration": {"type": "fixed", "seconds": 300},
          "startTrigger": {"type": "programStart"}
        },
        {
          "stepId": "cook-pasta",
          "name": "Cook Pasta",
          "task": "cooking",
          "duration": {"type": "fixed", "seconds": 600},
          "startTrigger": {"type": "afterStep", "stepId": "boil-water"}
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "trackId": "sauce",
      "name": "Sauce",
      "steps": [
        {
          "stepId": "prep-vegetables",
          "name": "Chop Vegetables",
          "task": "preparation",
          "duration": {"type": "fixed", "seconds": 600},
          "startTrigger": {"type": "programStart"}
        },
        {
          "stepId": "cook-sauce",
          "name": "Cook Sauce",
          "task": "cooking",
          "duration": {"type": "fixed", "seconds": 900},
          "startTrigger": {"type": "afterStep", "stepId": "prep-vegetables"}
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "resourceConstraints": [
    {"task": "cooking", "maxConcurrent": 4, "description": "Stove burners"},
    {"task": "preparation", "maxConcurrent": 2, "description": "Prep stations"}
  ]
}

Manual Triggers¶

Steps can require user interaction. A step with a manual start trigger waits for you to click Start Step before it begins:

{
  "stepId": "manual-step",
  "name": "Quality Check",
  "task": "inspection",
  "duration": {"type": "fixed", "seconds": 30},
  "startTrigger": {"type": "manual"}
}

See the Manual Controls guide for details on how manual triggers, variable durations, and indefinite durations work during execution.

Buffered Triggers¶

Use afterStepWithBuffer to add a delay between steps:

{
  "stepId": "rest-dough",
  "name": "Rest Dough",
  "task": "resting",
  "duration": {"type": "fixed", "seconds": 3600},
  "startTrigger": {
    "type": "afterStepWithBuffer",
    "stepId": "knead",
    "bufferSeconds": 60
  }
}
