Free and open source. Runs anywhere Perl runs.
Built with Perl. Runs on macOS and Linux. Zero external dependencies beyond Perl core. Install via Homebrew or Docker.
Full Model Context Protocol support with stdio and HTTP/SSE transports. Connect to any MCP server with OAuth 2.0 + PKCE authentication.
Spawn parallel AI agents that work simultaneously on different tasks. Coordinate complex work across multiple sub-agents.
Execute tasks on any SSH-accessible system. Run builds, gather diagnostics, or deploy across your infrastructure.
Complete git operations: status, diff, commit, branch, push, pull, stash, tag, and blame. All from the AI chat.
Persistent memory across all sessions. CLIO learns patterns, stores solutions, and recalls previous discoveries.
See the model's thinking process in real time. Streaming display of reasoning content with toggle control. Supports OpenRouter reasoning models.
Connect to OpenAI, Anthropic, GitHub Copilot, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, local llama.cpp, LM Studio, or any OpenAI-compatible API.
Perfect for remote development. Run CLIO on any server you can SSH into. All processing happens where your code lives.
CLIO reads, writes, searches, and refactors files. Apply patches across multiple files with automatic snapshots and undo support. Executes shell commands with safety validation.
Built-in grep, semantic search, and code intelligence. Work directly in your development environment without switching contexts.
Break down complex work into structured todos. Track progress through multi-step tasks. Export sessions to HTML for documentation and review.
Monitor performance with `/stats`, manage context with session persistence, and maintain momentum across long sessions.
CLIO implements The Unbroken Method - a systematic approach to AI collaboration that maintains continuous context and demands complete ownership.
Not just a tool, but a methodology for effective human-AI collaboration.
Download for terminal. Works anywhere Perl runs.
