Overview
rwkv-architecture is an open-source productivity skill for Claude Code and compatible agents, published by Orchestra-Research. Its author describes it as: “RNN+Transformer hybrid with O(n) inference. Linear time, infinite context, no KV cache. Train like GPT (parallel), infer like RNN (sequential). Linux Foundation AI project. Production at Windows, Office, NeMo. RWKV-7…”. The project has 12k stars on GitHub and is available under the MIT license. Add it to your setup with `/plugin marketplace add Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs`.
What rwkv-architecture does
RWKV (RwaKuv) combines Transformer parallelization (training) with RNN efficiency (inference).

Installation
Add rwkv-architecture to your agent with:
/plugin marketplace add Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLsReview a skill’s source before installing it — skills can instruct your agent to run commands. This command comes from the skill’s public repository, which is the source of truth for setup steps. New to skills? Read how to install Claude Code skills.

Frequently asked questions
- What does rwkv-architecture do?
- RNN+Transformer hybrid with O(n) inference. Linear time, infinite context, no KV cache. Train like GPT (parallel), infer like RNN (sequential). Linux Foundation AI project. Production at Windows, Office, NeMo. RWKV-7 (March 2025). Models up to 14B parameters.
- How do I install rwkv-architecture?
- Run /plugin marketplace add Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs in your agent, then reload your skills. Review the source at https://github.com/Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs before installing.
- Is rwkv-architecture free to use?
- Yes. rwkv-architecture is free and open source under the MIT license, so you can read, run, and adapt it within that license's terms.
- Which agents does rwkv-architecture work with?
- rwkv-architecture lists Claude Code and Codex — named in its SKILL.md, its plugin marketplace or its repository topics. Skills use the portable SKILL.md format, so other agents that read that format may load it too.
- Where does rwkv-architecture come from?
- rwkv-architecture ships inside Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs, a repository that contains 41 catalogued skills in total. The repository's 11,807 GitHub stars apply to that whole collection, not to this skill on its own.
