IDE Agent

In-editor agent harness

A coding agent embedded in an editor: inline diffs, codebase search, terminal panes, and checkpoints while you steer. Optimized for interactive pair programming, not unattended delegation.

Concrete example

You highlight a function and ask for a refactor; the agent proposes a diff you accept line by line.

Why it matters

Best when you want to stay in the editor and review every change.
