## Choose when

### Choose agent-orchestrator if…

- agent-orchestrator is primarily Go; ATLAS_OS is TypeScript.
- License: agent-orchestrator is Apache-2.0, ATLAS_OS is MIT.
- Tags unique to agent-orchestrator: agent-fleet, agent-swarm, claude-code, codex-cli.
- You are working on large-scale projects with multiple parallel tasks that require efficient CI fixes, merge conflict resolution and code reviews.

### Choose ATLAS_OS if…

- ATLAS_OS is primarily TypeScript; agent-orchestrator is Go.
- License: ATLAS_OS is MIT, agent-orchestrator is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to ATLAS_OS: ai-agents, chatgpt, claude, cli.
- If you require a single-prompt pipeline that covers the full spectrum from specs to shipped releases, integrating multiple AI service providers without vendor lock-in.

## When NOT to use agent-orchestrator

- If your work primarily consists of simple or small projects with light tasks, the overhead of setting up Agent Orchestrator may outweigh its benefits.
- If you prefer traditional workflow tools without reliance on autonomous agent technology for day-to-day operations.

## When NOT to use ATLAS_OS

- For teams working on monolithic applications that rely heavily on custom workflow integrations beyond the provided hook system.
- If a project strictly forbids the use of AI-generated code due to regulatory or compliance concerns.
