+name: rethinkdb-interface
+description: AntelopeJS interface exposing RethinkDB query execution via RunQuery and the r query builder re-exported from rethinkdb-ts. Use when code imports @antelopejs/interface-rethinkdb, when a task mentions RunQuery, r.table(...), ReQL queries, RethinkDB CRUD/joins/aggregations in an AntelopeJS module, or when implementing the interface with ImplementInterface.

+
+# RethinkDB Interface
+
+Thin AntelopeJS interface over RethinkDB. It exports exactly two things:
+
+- `r` — the ReQL query builder, re-exported unchanged from `rethinkdb-ts`. Building queries with `r` is pure and consumer-side; nothing touches the network.
+- `RunQuery` — the only proxy crossing. It is an `InterfaceFunction` (AsyncProxy): the call is routed to whichever module implements the interface and owns the connection.
+
+## Imports
+
+```typescript
+import { RunQuery, r } from "@antelopejs/interface-rethinkdb";
+```
+
+That single subpath is the whole public surface (`.` in the exports map; `./package.json` is also exported for tooling).
+
+## Consuming
+
+```typescript
+import { RunQuery, r } from "@antelopejs/interface-rethinkdb";
+
+// Read
+const book = await RunQuery(r.table("books").get("bk-9f2c"));
+
+// Write
+const res = await RunQuery(
+  r.table("books").insert({ title: "The Icebound Atlas", addedAt: r.now() }),
+);
+const id = res.generated_keys?.[0]; // only present when the server generated keys
+
+// Optional RunOptions as second argument
+const overdueLoans = await RunQuery(
+  r.table("loans").filter({ status: "overdue" }),
+  { readMode: "outdated" },
+);
+```
+
+`RunQuery<T extends RQuery>(query, options?)` returns `ReturnType<T["run"]>`, so results are typed exactly as if you had called `query.run()` yourself.
+
+## Providing (implementer modules only)
+
+A module that owns a RethinkDB connection implements the interface with `ImplementInterface` from `@antelopejs/interface-core`:
+
+```typescript
+import { ImplementInterface } from "@antelopejs/interface-core";
+import * as rethinkdbInterface from "@antelopejs/interface-rethinkdb";
+
+ImplementInterface(rethinkdbInterface, {
+  RunQuery: (query, options) => query.run(connection, options),
+});
+```
+
+## Gotchas
+
+- Never call `.run()` on a query in consumer code — consumers have no connection. Always execute through `RunQuery`; the implementing module manages the connection.
+- `RunQuery` always returns a Promise, even for cursors/atomic values, because it crosses an AsyncProxy.
+- Calls made before an implementation attaches are queued by the AsyncProxy and resolve once a provider registers — they do not fail fast. A missing provider therefore looks like a hang, not an error. Under the AntelopeJS test harness (test-stub mode) it instead rejects immediately with the "Interface function called without implementation in test environment" error.
+- `r.now()`, `r.uuid()`, etc. build ReQL terms evaluated server-side at execution time, not local values.
+- `@antelopejs/interface-core` is a peer dependency; the host project provides it.
+
+## Deeper reference
+
+Full walkthrough (query builder, CRUD, query options, joins, aggregations) is in this package's `docs/1.introduction.md`. Exact types are in `dist/index.d.ts`; the complete ReQL API is documented by RethinkDB and `rethinkdb-ts`. Do not duplicate those here.
