Coding agent

Also called: AI coding assistant, coding assistant, AI coding tool, AI pair programmer, AI developer

An AI agent that writes and changes code. It reads the project's files, makes edits, runs the code to see if it works and fixes errors, following your instructions.

For example: A developer tells a coding agent, 'Add a forgot-password link to the login page.' The agent finds the right files, writes the change and runs the tests.
