Rump is a Node‑based toolkit that adds a set of opinionated Gulp tasks for building client‑side assets (scripts, styles, etc.) with sensible defaults and easy configuration. It automatically loads any `rump‑*` modules listed in a project’s `package.json`, lets developers customize source/destination paths, environments and cleaning behavior, and provides ready‑to‑use tasks such as `build`, `watch`, `lint` and `test`. The library is aimed at front‑end developers who want a quick, standardized build pipeline without writing extensive Gulp setup.
