attune-ai 2.9.1

AI-powered developer workflows for Claude with cost optimization, multi-agent orchestration, and workflow automation.

Attune AI

AI-powered developer workflows with cost optimization and intelligent routing.

The easiest way to run code review, debugging, testing, and release workflows from your terminal or Claude Code. Just type /attune and let Socratic discovery guide you. Smart tier routing saves 34-86% on LLM costs.

pip install attune-ai[developer]

What's New in v2.9.0

• XML Prompt Benchmark Suite - A/B testing harness (benchmarks/xml_vs_plain/) that measures XML vs plain text prompt quality on Claude 4.x with 5 automated metrics. Real API results: 100% parse success, +68% quality score.
• Data-Driven XML Configuration - Per-workflow XML settings based on 30-call benchmark on Sonnet 4.5. Security-audit uses XML (+30% quality, +15% cost). Code-review and perf-audit use plain text (lower cost, same quality).
• XML Enabled by Default - All 10 XML templates and 5 wizards now use structured XML prompts unless explicitly disabled. Enables machine-parseable output for dashboards and automation.
• 14,915 Tests Passing - 83% coverage across security, unit, integration, and behavioral tests.

	Attune AI	Agent Frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen)	Coding CLIs (Aider, Codex)	Review Bots (CodeRabbit)
Ready-to-use workflows	15 built-in	Build from scratch	None	PR review only
Cost optimization	3-tier auto-routing	None	None	None
Cost in Claude Code	$0 for most tasks	API costs	API costs	SaaS pricing
Multi-agent teams	4 strategies	Yes	No	No

Key Features

Claude-Native Architecture

Attune AI is built exclusively for Anthropic/Claude, unlocking features impossible with multi-provider abstraction:

• Prompt Caching - 90% cost reduction on repeated prompts
• Flexible Context - 200K via subscription, up to 1M via API for large codebases
• Extended Thinking - Access Claude's internal reasoning process
• Advanced Tool Use - Optimized for agentic workflows

Multi-Agent Orchestration

Full support for custom agents, dynamic teams, and Anthropic Agent SDK:

• Dynamic Team Composition - Build agent teams from templates, specs, or MetaOrchestrator plans with 4 execution strategies (parallel, sequential, two-phase, delegation)
• 13 Agent Templates - Pre-built archetypes (security auditor, code reviewer, test coverage, etc.) with custom template registration
• Agent State Persistence - AgentStateStore records execution history, saves checkpoints, and enables recovery from interruptions
• Workflow Composition - Compose entire workflows into DynamicTeam instances for orchestrated parallel/sequential execution
• Progressive Tier Escalation - Agents start cheap and escalate only when needed (CHEAP -> CAPABLE -> PREMIUM)
• Agent Coordination Dashboard - Real-time monitoring with 6 coordination patterns
• Inter-Agent Communication - Heartbeats, signals, events, and approval gates
• Quality Gates - Per-agent and cross-team quality thresholds with required/optional gate enforcement

Modular Architecture

Clean, maintainable codebase built for extensibility:

• Small, Focused Files - No file exceeds 1,000 lines; logic extracted into mixins and utilities
• Cross-Platform CI - Tested on Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows with Python 3.10-3.13
• 14,915+ Unit Tests - Security, unit, integration, and behavioral test coverage at 83% coverage

Intelligent Cost Optimization

• $0 for most Claude Code tasks - Standard workflows run as skills through Claude's Task tool at no extra cost
• API costs for large contexts - Tasks requiring extended context (>200K tokens) or programmatic/CI usage route through the Anthropic API
• Smart Tier Routing - Automatically selects the right model for each task
• Authentication Strategy - Routes between subscription and API based on codebase size

Socratic Workflows

Workflows guide you through discovery instead of requiring upfront configuration:

• Interactive Discovery - Asks targeted questions to understand your needs
• Context Gathering - Collects relevant code, errors, and constraints
• Dynamic Agent Creation - Assembles the right team based on your answers

---

Claude Code Plugin

Install the attune-ai plugin in Claude Code for integrated workflow, memory, and orchestration access. The plugin provides the /attune command, 18 MCP tools, and 3 skills (memory-and-context, workflow-orchestration, refactor-plan). See the plugin/ directory.

---

Quick Start

1. Install

pip install attune-ai

2. Setup Slash Commands

attune setup

This installs /attune to ~/.claude/commands/ for Claude Code.

3. Use in Claude Code

Just type:

/attune

Socratic discovery guides you to the right workflow.

Or use shortcuts:

/attune debug      # Debug an issue
/attune test       # Run tests
/attune security   # Security audit
/attune commit     # Create commit
/attune pr         # Create pull request

CLI Usage

Run workflows directly from terminal:

attune workflow run release-prep           # 4-agent release readiness check
attune workflow run security-audit --path ./src
attune workflow run test-gen --path ./src
attune telemetry show

Optional Features

Redis-enhanced memory (for multi-session coordination, real-time events):

pip install 'attune-ai[memory]'

All features (includes memory, dashboard, agents):

pip install 'attune-ai[all]'

See Feature Availability Guide for detailed information about core vs optional features.

Command Hubs

Workflows are organized into hubs for easy discovery:

Hub	Command	Description
Developer	/dev	Debug, commit, PR, code review, quality
Testing	/testing	Run tests, coverage analysis, benchmarks
Documentation	/docs	Generate and manage documentation
Release	/release	Release prep, security scan, publishing
Workflows	/workflows	Automated analysis (security, bugs, perf)
Plan	/plan	Planning, TDD, code review, refactoring
Agent	/agent	Create and manage custom agents

Natural Language Routing:

/workflows "find security vulnerabilities"  # → security-audit
/workflows "check code performance"         # → perf-audit
/plan "review my code"                      # → code-review

---

Cost Optimization

Skills in Claude Code

Most workflows run as skills through the Task tool using your Claude subscription — no additional API costs:

/dev           # Uses your Claude subscription
/testing       # Uses your Claude subscription
/release       # Uses your Claude subscription

When API costs apply: Tasks that exceed your subscription's context window (e.g., large codebases >2000 LOC), or programmatic/CI usage, route through the Anthropic API. The auth strategy automatically handles this routing.

API Mode (CI/CD, Automation)

For programmatic use, smart tier routing saves 34-86%:

Tier	Model	Use Case	Cost
CHEAP	Haiku	Formatting, simple tasks	~$0.005
CAPABLE	Sonnet	Bug fixes, code review	~$0.08
PREMIUM	Opus	Architecture, complex design	~$0.45

# Track API usage and savings
attune telemetry savings --days 30

MCP Server Integration

Attune AI includes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes all workflows as native Claude Code tools:

• 10 Tools Available - security_audit, bug_predict, code_review, test_generation, performance_audit, release_prep, and more
• Automatic Discovery - Claude Code finds tools via .claude/mcp.json
• Natural Language Access - Describe your need and Claude invokes the appropriate tool

# Verify MCP integration
echo '{"method":"tools/list","params":{}}' | PYTHONPATH=./src python -m attune.mcp.server

---

Agent Coordination Dashboard

Real-time monitoring with 6 coordination patterns:

• Agent heartbeats and status tracking
• Inter-agent coordination signals
• Event streaming across agent workflows
• Approval gates for human-in-the-loop
• Quality feedback and performance metrics
• Demo mode with test data generation

# Launch dashboard (requires Redis 7.x or 8.x)
python examples/dashboard_demo.py
# Open http://localhost:8000

Redis 8.4 Support: Full compatibility with RediSearch, RedisJSON, RedisTimeSeries, RedisBloom, and VectorSet modules.

---

Authentication Strategy

Intelligent routing between Claude subscription and Anthropic API:

# Interactive setup
python -m attune.models.auth_cli setup

# View current configuration
python -m attune.models.auth_cli status

# Get recommendation for a file
python -m attune.models.auth_cli recommend src/module.py

Automatic routing:

• Small/medium modules (<2000 LOC) → Claude subscription (free)
• Large modules (>2000 LOC) → Anthropic API (pay for what you need)

---
