Tutorials

Step-by-step guides for common Claudio workflows.

Getting Started

Quick Start: Your First Parallel Session

5 minutes - Install Claudio and run your first parallel development session. Perfect for getting started.

Development Workflows

Choosing Orchestration Modes

10-15 minutes - Learn when to use Plan, Ultra-Plan, TripleShot, and Adversarial modes. Includes decision guide and practical examples.

Feature Development

15-20 minutes - Build a complete feature by breaking it into parallel tasks. Learn to coordinate multiple instances working on different components.

Code Review Workflow

10 minutes - Use multiple specialized instances for thorough code reviews: security, performance, bugs, and documentation.

Large Refactor

20 minutes - Coordinate a major refactoring effort across your codebase. Handle dependencies, conflicts, and staged rollout.

Platform-Specific Guides

Each platform guide covers worktree considerations, build strategies, testing approaches, dependency management, and CI integration specific to that technology stack.

Web Development (Node.js/React/Vue)

20-30 minutes - Use Claudio with JavaScript/TypeScript web projects. Covers npm/yarn/pnpm, build caching, dev server coordination, and framework-specific workflows for React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, and more.

Go Development

20-30 minutes - Use Claudio with Go projects. Covers module caching, build optimization, test parallelism, workspace patterns, and code generation workflows.

Python Development

20-30 minutes - Use Claudio with Python projects. Covers virtual environment management, pip/poetry/conda, testing with pytest, and framework-specific patterns for Django, Flask, and FastAPI.

Rust Development

20-30 minutes - Use Claudio with Rust projects. Covers Cargo workspace management, target directory isolation, build caching with sccache, and incremental compilation strategies.

iOS Development

20-30 minutes - Use Claudio with Xcode projects. Covers DerivedData management, build strategies, Swift Package Manager, simulator coordination, and handling project.pbxproj conflicts.

Android Development

25-35 minutes - Use Claudio with Android Studio projects. Covers Gradle build caching, module-based development, emulator coordination, and Jetpack Compose workflows.

Architecture Guides

Full-Stack Development

25-35 minutes - Use Claudio with multi-service applications combining frontend and backend. Covers Docker Compose coordination, database isolation, API contract management, and service orchestration.

Monorepo Development

25-35 minutes - Use Claudio with large monorepos. Covers sparse checkout optimization, Turborepo/Nx integration, package-targeted development, and efficient CI pipelines.

Data Science & ML

25-35 minutes - Use Claudio with machine learning projects. Covers Jupyter notebook management, experiment tracking, GPU resource coordination, and model versioning with DVC.

Tutorial Tips

Before You Start

  1. Ensure Claudio is installed: claudio --help
  2. Have your backend CLI authenticated (Claude Code or Codex)
  3. Work in a Git repository: git status
  4. Initialize Claudio: claudio init

Getting Help

  • Press ? in the TUI for keyboard shortcuts
  • Run claudio <command> --help for command help
  • Check Troubleshooting for common issues

Best Practices from Tutorials

Practice Why
Break tasks into independent units Minimizes conflicts
Be specific in task descriptions Better AI output
Monitor conflicts regularly Catch issues early
Create PRs in dependency order Cleaner merges
Use cost limits Predictable spending
Include build/test commands in tasks Ensures verification
Consider platform-specific caching Faster iteration
