AI Coding Agents
Picking a coding agent is half the job. The other half is how you run it: one in your editor, a fleet in parallel worktrees, or a cloud agent that hands you a pull request. Every tool here is already in the directory, with one line on why it's worth a look. For a flat list in directory order, see the AI coding agents best-of list. 30 tools listed.
