The record

Purpose: CloudRig is a Blender Studio add-on for rig generation and rigging workflow tools.
Metarig workflow: Users set parameters on a metarig, then generate a control rig that can be regenerated as the metarig changes.
Rig components: Component types assigned to metarig bones define rig behaviors and can be customized with parameters.
Features: The add-on includes component types for features such as limbs, spines, eyes, and bone tweaks.
Custom rig UI: CloudRig lets riggers organize built-in and custom properties into panels, labels, and rows in a custom rig interface.
Animation controls: The rig UI can include IK/FK switches and snap and bake operators when supported by the rig components.
Installation: CloudRig is available on the Blender Extensions platform and can be installed from within Blender.
Workflow tools: The add-on includes hotkeys and pie menus intended to speed up rigging workflows.
Troubleshooting: After rig generation, a log can identify potential issues and may provide buttons to address some of them.
Limit: CloudRig does not automatically fix rigging mistakes, though it can detect issues and suggest fixes.
Scripting: Post-generation scripts allow procedural changes, but require familiarity with Python.
Script behavior: A generated rig's embedded cloudrig.py script may prompt for permission to execute and does not execute automatically when the file is linked or appended.
Maker: CloudRig is developed by Blender Studio for its open movies, beginning with CoffeeRun in 2020.
Workflow: The documented workflow is to change settings and regenerate the rig.
