The vocabulary this page depends on.
- →Coding Agent
A coding agent reads a repository, plans a change, edits files, runs tests and iterates until the task passes — instead of just suggesting snippets.
- →AI Software Engineering
AI software engineering is the practice of building software where agents write most of the code and humans own architecture, review and verification.
- →Context Engineering
Context engineering is the discipline of deciding exactly what information enters a model's context window, in what order and at what cost.
