CLI Documentation

Everything you need to know about the Claudio CLI: features, commands, and workflows.

Overview

Claudio CLI is a plug-and-play AI development platform that runs on top of your existing Claude Code subscription. Install it once, log in, and you have a local orchestrator that can plan, build, review, QA, and ship real GitHub PRs, plus a set of focused tools for the rest of your workflow.

No Anthropic API key to manage, no per-token bill. Claudio uses your Claude Code subscription to run agents on your machine, and charges a flat subscription that costs a fraction of API-billed tools.

โ—Beta

๐Ÿงช Open Beta: Claudio is in active open beta. Expect frequent updates and fast iteration on feedback. We ship improvements daily.

Requirements

Before installing Claudio CLI, make sure the following are in place:

  • Node.js 18 or higher

  • Claude Code installed globally

    $npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
  • A Claude subscription (Pro, Max, or Team)

  • GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated

Feature Pipelines

Describe a task and Claudio runs a complete, observable development pipeline against your GitHub repo. Every stage is a specialized agent that emits structured progress into a live TUI. The output is a merged PR, not a chat transcript.

  • PM: writes the spec as a GitHub issue

  • Designer: drafts UI mockups before any code is written (UI features only)

  • Design Reviewer: validates mockups against the design system and signs off on the spec

  • Dev: implements the feature on a branch and opens a PR

  • Reviewer: reads every diff line and auto-fixes issues

  • QA Frontend: boots your dev server and validates in a real browser, including visual checks against the spec

  • QA Backend: exercises endpoints, CLI commands, and exports against the spec

  • Fix QA: applies minimum-viable fixes to QA findings and re-verifies in the same scenario

  • Regression: runs end-to-end Playwright tests on the open PR to catch broken neighboring features

  • Merge: ships the PR and deletes the feature branch

Two execution modes:

โ—

Work mode: runs a batch of tasks in parallel (1โ€“5 concurrent), re-plans as slots free up, and auto-retries stuck tasks up to 3 times.

โ—

One Shot: single task, single focused archer. Fastest path from description to open PR.
