Clio is an AI-powered CLI copilot designed to assist users with DevOps tasks across various cloud platforms and services. It targets developers and operations engineers seeking to streamline command-line interactions with tools like kubectl, aws, az, gcloud, and gh, offering an interactive and safe way to manage infrastructure and workflows.

How It Works

Clio leverages OpenAI's capabilities to interpret natural language commands and translate them into executable CLI operations. It operates by invoking specialized "agents," which are essentially GPTScripts that define how to interact with specific tools or services. This agent-based architecture allows for easy extensibility, enabling users to create custom agents for new tools or workflows without modifying Clio's core code. The system prioritizes safety by requiring user confirmation before executing any potentially impactful commands.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation:
  • macOS/Linux: brew install gptscript-ai/tap/clio
  • Windows: winget install gptscript-ai.clio
  • Manual: git clone https://github.com/gptscript-ai/clio.git && cd clio && make build
• Authentication: Requires OpenAI API key (via environment variables) or GitHub authentication.
• Dependencies: Access to relevant CLIs (kubectl, aws, az, gcloud, doctl, exo, eksctl, gh) for the desired integrations.
• Docs: https://clio.gptscript.ai/

Highlighted Details

• Supports Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, Exoscale, and GitHub integrations.
• Extensible via custom GPTScripts placed in user-specific agent directories.
• Prioritizes safety with explicit user confirmation for command execution.
• Provides examples for creating custom agents, including adding context tools for richer interactions.

Licensing & Compatibility

• License: Apache License 2.0.
• Compatibility: Permissive license suitable for commercial use and integration with closed-source projects.

Limitations & Caveats

The effectiveness of Clio is dependent on the user having the necessary CLIs installed and configured for the target services. Custom agent creation requires understanding GPTScript syntax and structure.
