AI coding assistants and agent tooling help developers write, change and review code with language models, either inside an editor or as agents that work through a terminal. The category also includes the tooling around those agents: orchestrators that run several agents in parallel on isolated branches, usage and cost trackers, policy guards for shell commands, and session viewers. Reusable instruction packs for agents belong with skills and plugins, not here.
What belongs in this category: A product belongs here when it either performs coding work through a model or manages, observes or constrains the coding agents that do, rather than only supplying prompts or instructions for them.
