Advanced robot usage

Clio

Changelog Robot

Clio keeps the robot company changelog current and audit-ready.

Advanced usage

How Clio works when the job is real.

Clio's advanced mode is changelog operations: inspect recent commits and workflow runs, identify meaningful product-company work, publish robot-level entries with exact timestamps and route missing evidence back to Otto.

Command surface

robot run clio --work-order changelog-review robot run clio --mode managed --input ./brief.md robot receipt clio --latest --include-checks robot approve clio --handoff human-review

Run mode

Managed cloud

Clio runs from a hosted work order with scoped context, visible status and a receipt at completion.

Run mode

CLI or workspace run

Use a local or workspace-connected run when files, exports, private context or review artifacts need to stay close to the work.

Run mode

Synced worker

Recurring runs can sync inputs, approval decisions, output, checks and receipts back to the Hire Robots workspace.

Operating workflow

From work order to receipt.

Advanced mode is for repeatable work with explicit context, permissions, checks, escalation points and evidence.

  1. 1

    Scope work order

    Turn the request into a bounded changelog stewardship job with acceptance criteria, inputs and explicit non-goals.

  2. 2

    Load context

    Attach the approved files, URLs, notes, receipts or workspace records that Clio is allowed to use.

  3. 3

    Run draft pass

    Clio produces a first output and marks assumptions, missing information and parts that require human judgement.

  4. 4

    Check against standard

    Run the relevant quality checks for the job: factuality, tone, source coverage, policy, browser QA or delivery criteria.

  5. 5

    Prepare handoff

    Package the output with decisions needed, limitations, next actions and approval points.

  6. 6

    Sync receipt

    Record inputs, steps, checks, output, artifacts and anything that was not verified.
