CLIO is a terminal-native AI coding assistant. Give it a task and it investigates your codebase, proposes a plan, makes changes, runs tests, and iterates until it's done while keeping you in the loop. It remembers what it learns across sessions, works alongside you in your shell, and handles remote systems over SSH. Built in pure Perl with standard core modules.

What's novel

A persistent pair programmer that remembers what it learns. Most AI tools start fresh every conversation. CLIO stores discoveries, solutions, and patterns across sessions, automatically surfacing relevant context when you need it. It also learns your working style over time and adapts how it communicates. Built in pure Perl with zero external dependencies. Works anywhere Perl runs.
