rio

Rio is a fully autonomous, one-shot coding agent. It has no built-in interactive TUI, no conversation history, no human steer in the middle and no follow-up turns. Start a task and Rio runs until the task completes or aborts.

Getting Started

Install via uv:

uv tool install rio

Usage

Login to your preferred providers:

  • rio login anthropic
  • rio login github-copilot
  • rio login codex
  • ...

Run a adhoc task:

rio run "Fix gh issue 123."

Rio keeps its State in SQLite and executes independent Python scripts through uv. Committed work survives restart; interrupted scripts return UnknownExecution for inspection. See Architecture.

Run a predefined workflow:

rio run task.md

The workflow is to write the task in a Markdown file, then run Rio against it.

You can add a short instruction when invoking it:

uv run rio run "Follow feature.md, run the tests, and finish the implementation"

Use --provider NAME --model MODEL to choose a provider and a model.

Rio prints a compact human transcript by default. Use --output json for one JSON event per line. Each human-mode run prints a session id; continue it with rio run --resume SESSION_ID. Start a new run for a new task.

Documentation

See the documentation for tutorials, guides, command-line reference, and an explanation of Rio's architecture.

Development

uv run pytest
uv run ruff check .

To run the Lean 4 verification, install elan and build the pinned toolchain from the repository root:

cd tests/lean && lake build

See the Lean behavior models for their scope and limits.

  • rio.ai streams model responses from multiple providers.
  • rio.agent owns SQLite state, immutable cells, workers, and recovery.
  • rio.coding supplies provider configuration, credentials, and MCP clients.
  • rio.cli runs coding tasks.
