Quick Use

Use it first, then decide how deep to go

This block should tell both the user and the agent what to copy, install, and apply first.

pip install optio
# Assign a task and let Optio handle the entire workflow
optio run "Add rate limiting to the API endpoints"

# Optio automatically:
# 1. Creates a plan
# 2. Writes the code
# 3. Runs tests
# 4. Creates a PR
# 5. Addresses review feedback
Intro

Optio is a workflow orchestration tool for AI coding agents that automates the full development lifecycle — from task planning to merged PR — with 800+ GitHub stars. Unlike standalone coding agents that just write code, Optio manages the entire pipeline: understanding requirements, creating implementation plans, writing code, running tests, opening PRs, and responding to review feedback. Best for teams who want to delegate complete development tasks to AI without babysitting each step. Works with: Claude Code, Codex, any CLI-based coding agent. Setup time: under 3 minutes.

Workflow Stages

1. Planning

Optio analyzes the task and creates a structured plan:

optio plan "Add rate limiting to API endpoints"
# Output:
# Step 1: Identify all API route handlers
# Step 2: Choose rate limiting strategy (token bucket)
# Step 3: Implement middleware
# Step 4: Add configuration options
# Step 5: Write integration tests
# Step 6: Update API documentation

2. Execution

The coding agent implements each step with progress tracking:

optio execute --plan plan-001
# [1/6] Analyzing route handlers... done
# [2/6] Implementing token bucket... done
# [3/6] Creating middleware... done
# ...

3. Validation

Automatic test execution and lint checking:

# Runs test suite, linters, type checkers
# Fixes issues automatically when possible
# Reports blockers that need human input

4. PR Creation

Opens a pull request with structured description:


## Changes

- Added rate limiting middleware (token bucket algorithm)
- Configuration via environment variables
- Integration tests for all rate-limited endpoints

## Test Results

- 42 tests passed, 0 failed
- Coverage: 89% on new code

5. Review Response

When reviewers leave comments, Optio addresses them:

optio review respond PR-123
# Reads review comments
# Makes requested changes
# Pushes updates
# Replies to each comment
