⌨️ Coding Agents
Coding agents pair-program, review pull requests, and in some cases ship entire features autonomously. The category spans terminal-first tools, IDE-native assistants, and fully autonomous software engineers that take a ticket and return a tested pull request.

- Match the agent to where you actually work — terminal, IDE, or CI pipeline
- Check repo-scale context handling if you have a large codebase
- Prefer agents with permission gates and reviewable diffs if they can execute code
Common use cases
- Automating bug fixes and refactors from issue to pull request
