# romcp branding transition

The product formerly called Dominus is now **romcp**, written in lowercase. The current v3 development work continues under this name.

The official domain is **romcp.dev**, confirmed owned by the project owner on September 6, 2026. Use it for the website and launch documentation. DNS, hosting, email, and API endpoint setup remain separate deployment work.

romcp is the programmable development and operations toolkit that lets developers and AI agents build, test, diagnose, and operate Roblox experiences through a shared API.

## Implemented transition

- CLI, setup, Studio toolbar/panel, and admin-panel display branding uses romcp.
- This checkout exposes `romcp`, `romcp-mcp`, and `romcp-install-plugin` command aliases alongside the existing commands.
- `ROMCP_PROJECT_ROOT` configures the project for source ownership, building tools, and the control panel. It takes precedence over legacy `DOMINUS_PROJECT_ROOT` when both are present. An explicitly empty value is rejected instead of falling back. When neither is set, normal workspace discovery applies. `.dominus` project files remain in place.
- Existing installation and SDK instructions continue using the published `dominus-cli` package. No renamed npm package has been published or reserved by this change.

## Compatibility and launch work

The package identity/version, repository URL, license, `.dominus` storage, `DOMINUS_*` environment variables, Studio settings/widget identifiers, plugin artifact filenames, SDK type names, MCP tool/resource identifiers, and wire protocol names retain their existing values during the transition. This preserves saved credentials, dock state, host configuration, scripts, and update behavior.

Before launch, verify the package and repository destinations, introduce documented aliases/migrations for public identifiers, and test upgrades from existing romcp installations without creating duplicate plugins or losing configuration. The v3 feature scope and release validation remain unchanged.
