Summary

AutoDev Studio is an open-source, model-agnostic multi-agent SDLC harness that orchestrates a chain of agents to automate the software development lifecycle, reducing costs by 7–75% compared to Claude Code for similar tasks.

Built AutoDev Studio: an open-source, model- and provider-agnostic multi-agent SDLC harness that learns a codebase once instead of rediscovering it for every task. It orchestrates Product manager agent→ Dev agent→ QA agent→ Review agent → Revision agent→ GitHub PR, tracks per-agent token and cost usage, and supports both local models and cloud providers including free options like Groq. Benchmark highlights: - 7–75% cheaper than a cold "claude -p" run - Evaluated on repositories up to ~82k LOC - Example: $6.83 → ~$1.70 for the same bug - Full benchmark (including where it doesn't win) is in the README If you find the project interesting or useful, I'd really appreciate a ⭐ on the repository. It helps more people discover the project and motivates me to keep improving it.
