Coding with agents

Coding agent

An agent that reads a repository, edits files, runs commands and tests, and opens pull requests.

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and similar tools work inside your codebase with your tools. They are fast at well-specified work and confident when wrong. The output is only as good as the tests, rules and review around it.

  • Hooks: Scripts the harness runs automatically at fixed points, such as before a tool call or after an edit.
  • Human in the loop: A person approves, edits or rejects the agent’s action before it takes effect.
