awslabs/cli-agent-orchestrator

uv tool install git+https://github.com/awslabs/cli-agent-orchestrator.git@main --upgrade (or install cli-agent-orchestrator from PyPI)
Prerequisites: Python 3.10+, tmux 3.3+, uv, and at least one supported provider CLI authenticated before launch (Kiro, Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Hermes, Kimi, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenCode, or Cursor CLI)

Usage

• •cao install code_supervisor (install the built-in supervisor profile)
• •Terminal A: cao-server (start the local server)
• •Terminal B in the project dir: cao launch --agents code_supervisor
• •cao shutdown --session {session-name} (or cao shutdown --all) to stop

Key features

• ✓Coordinates specialist coding-agent CLIs in isolated terminal sessions with native auth preserved
• ✓Control planes: Web UI (localhost:9889), shell CLI, operations MCP server, and plugins
• ✓Flows and workflows for scheduled runs and multi-step pipelines
• ✓Persistent cross-session memory plus opt-in self-learning (workflow outcomes into lessons)
• ✓HTTP API and PTY WebSocket for terminal streaming; roles/allowlists via tool restrictions

Best for

Running parallel or sequential multi-agent workflows with a supervisor delegating to specialist coding CLIs (e.g. AI-DLC portfolio work across repos)

Caveats

• ⚠Requires tmux 3.3+, Python 3.10+, and uv; at least one provider CLI must be installed and authenticated first
• ⚠Unqualified commands default to the Kiro CLI provider — other providers need a provider override
