Overview

CLI Agent Orchestrator (CAO) is a multi-agent orchestration tool designed to coordinate multiple AI coding CLI tools (such as Claude Code, Kiro, Codex, etc.), enabling supervisors to delegate tasks either in parallel or sequentially to specialized agents. CAO runs a local `cao-server`, which launches provider CLIs within isolated terminal sessions and provides supervisory tools for coordination. These agents maintain their full CLI processes along with native authentication and capabilities. Ideal for developers who need to use multiple AI coding tools simultaneously.
