Terminal-native coding agents — Claude Code, Codex CLI, Aider, OpenCode, Gemini CLI.
CLI agents are terminal-native coding assistants — Claude Code, Codex CLI, Aider, OpenCode, Gemini CLI. Unlike IDE extensions, they live in your shell, read your whole repo, run tests, and open PRs. This category covers releases, workflow changes, and the migration from autocomplete-style AI to task-level delegation.
