Coding Agent
Agent for software work
An agent harness aimed at reading, editing, running, and shipping code — usually with repo access, shell commands, and git. Distinct from autocomplete: it pursues a goal across many steps.
Concrete example
“Fix the failing auth test” — it finds the test, traces the error, patches code, and runs the suite.
Why it matters
Compare coding agents by harness behavior, permissions, and verification—not only by model brand.
