rio
Rio is a fully autonomous, one-shot coding agent built on SKILL.state: Scalable Long-Horizon Agent Skills. It has no interactive terminal UI, no conversation history, and no follow-up turns. Start a task, let it run, and Rio exits only when the task completes or aborts.
Each model step receives the fixed skill instructions, current JSON execution
state, and the result of the previous action. The task is stored in the
initial state's goal field; it is never treated as a user observation.
Reasoning and prior messages are not replayed.
Use
uv sync
uv run rio "Inspect this project and fix the parser"
uv run rio task.md
The normal workflow is to write the task in a Markdown file, then run Rio
against it. A sole *.md argument is loaded as the task:
uv run rio feature.md
You can add a short instruction when invoking it:
uv run rio "Follow feature.md, run the tests, and finish the implementation"
Use --provider NAME --model MODEL to choose a configured provider and
--approve to allow project instructions and extensions for that run. Rio
renders committed actions, state changes, retries, and the final result with
Rich.
Development
uv run pytest
uv run ruff check .
rio.ai is a multi-provider LLM streaming SDK. rio.agent is the
SKILL.state runtime, and rio.coding supplies the autonomous coding skill and
tools. rio.cli is the public one-shot command-line entry point.
