## Choose when

### Choose agent-orchestrator if…

- agent-orchestrator is primarily Go; aiox-core is JavaScript.
- License: agent-orchestrator is Apache-2.0, aiox-core is Other.
- Tags unique to agent-orchestrator: agent-fleet, agent-swarm, claude-code, codex-cli.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- You are working on large-scale projects with multiple parallel tasks that require efficient CI fixes, merge conflict resolution and code reviews.

### Choose aiox-core if…

- aiox-core is primarily JavaScript; agent-orchestrator is Go.
