Podiom is an open-source command-line coding agent orchestrator and task automation harness built in Go by the Podiom project. It is designed to manage autonomous coding workflows, interview developers to scope complex tasks, and run development loops across local codebases. Day-to-day operations center on the CLI, where developers issue goals, pin structured feedback during execution, and monitor repository modifications. The harness supports automated Git repository interactions and provides out-of-band status tracking by relaying test results and agent notifications to paired companion interfaces, including native iOS and Android clients. Podiom differentiates itself from single-binary terminal agents through its cross-surface monitoring and integration ecosystem. In addition to standard terminal execution, it incorporates dedicated plugin modules (such as podiom-discovery), mobile companion apps for real-time task notifications, and Home Assistant hooks for local automation environments. The project is open-source and distributed via GitHub releases and Homebrew tap packages.
CLI task orchestration — Executes and coordinates multi-step development loops directly from the terminal via a Go-based binary. - Mobile status notifications — Sends test run results and agent execution alerts to companion iOS and Android clients. - Interactive interview and feedback loops — Provides interactive prompt flows to scope project requirements and pin ongoing goal feedback. - Configurable Git integration — Automates branch and commit workflows with explicit configuration toggles for Git-enabled or non-Git projects. - Extensible plugin system — Supports modular capabilities such as discovery plugins for codebase indexing and inspection. - Automation integration — Includes built-in hooks for Home Assistant to expose task status over local smart home and telemetry setups.
Use cases
Use Case: Out-of-Band Task and Test Monitoring Developers running long-running agent refactoring tasks or test suites in the terminal can monitor progress remotely via push notifications to paired iOS or Android devices.
Use Case: Guided Task Scoping and Planning Engineers can initiate an interactive interview flow in the terminal to define requirements and pin feedback before allowing the agent to perform multi-file modifications.
Use Case: Automated Repository Maintenance Teams can orchestrate repeatable discovery and automated patching routines within local repositories using Podiom's CLI plugins and flexible Git controls.
Who it is for
Podiom is designed for backend engineers, system developers, and command-line power users who want autonomous task orchestration paired with mobile notifications for long-running workflows. It is not intended for users seeking a lightweight in-editor autocomplete extension or a purely GUI-based IDE.
Install guide
Installation Install Podiom via Homebrew (tap distribution) or by building the binary from source using Go: bash # Via Homebrew tap (standard installation method) brew tap Podiom/podiom brew install podiom # Or build from source git clone https://github.com/Podiom/Podiom.git cd Podiom go build -o podiom ./cmd/podiom
First Run Initialize the workspace configuration and inspect project setup: bash # Verify installation podiom --help # Configure project settings and check environment status podiom init
Example Session Run an interactive task scoping session and execute an agent workflow: bash # Start an interactive interview session to scope a task podiom task "Refactor internal API routing to use standard HTTP multiplexer" # Run with test notification alerts enabled podiom run --notify
