## 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:

```bash
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:

```bash
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:

```bash
# 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:

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

### Key Stats
- 800+ GitHub stars
