Otto Dev

Otto Dev is your autonomous development agent. It takes groomed stories and implements them — writing code, tests, and pull requests following your team's standards.

What Otto Dev Does

• Feature Implementation — Takes a groomed story spec and implements the feature, following your project's patterns and conventions.
• Test Writing — Generates unit, integration, and end-to-end tests alongside the implementation.
• Pull Request Creation — Creates well-structured PRs with clear descriptions, linking back to the story spec.
• Code Review Assistance — Provides review context and can respond to PR feedback.
• Story Grooming — Helps break down epics into implementable stories with clear acceptance criteria.

How It Works

Otto Dev requires Otto Stack to be active so it understands your tech stack. When given a story to implement, Otto Dev:

1. Reads the story spec and acceptance criteria
2. Analyzes the existing codebase for patterns and conventions
3. Generates an implementation plan
4. Writes the code using Claude Code (your subscription)
5. Creates tests that verify the acceptance criteria
6. Opens a pull request for review

Quality Standards

Otto Dev follows strict quality standards. Every implementation includes proper error handling, input validation, type safety, and follows the security principles established by Otto Security. Code is written to match your existing patterns, not generic boilerplate.
