From the README

🐙 Claude Octopus

Every AI model has blind spots. Claude Octopus supports twelve external provider integrations — Codex, Antigravity CLI, Copilot, Qwen, Ollama, Perplexity, OpenRouter, OrcaRouter, OpenCode, Cursor CLI, Grok, and Kimi Code — alongside the built-in Claude Code host, with consensus gates that flag disagreements before you ship.

Claude-native first, Octopus for escalation. Use Claude-native /init, /review, and /security-review when Claude is enough. Use Octopus when you want multiple model opinions, adversarial review, or stricter multi-LLM workflows.
Claude Octopus is an independent open-source project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic.

🐙 Research, build, review, and ship — with twelve external providers checking the host's work. Claude-native handles the ordinary path.

🧠 Remembers across sessions. Integrates with claude-mem, agentmemory, and deja-vu for persistent memory — past decisions, research, and context survive session boundaries.

⚡ Spec in, software out. Dark Factory mode takes a spec and autonomously runs the full pipeline — research, define, develop, deliver. You review the output, not every step.

🔄 Choose the workflow the task needs. Use a focused method for architecture, debugging, or TDD. Use /octo:embrace for Discover → Define → Develop → Deliver, with quality gates between phases.

🐙 31 specialized personas (role-specific AI agents like security-auditor, backend-architect), 54 commands (slash commands you type), 63 skills (reusable workflow modules). Explicit workflows select the experts they need; ordinary Claude requests do not…
