AI Coding Assistant
A developer tool powered by an LLM that suggests, writes, edits, and reviews code in your editor.
- Spectrum: inline autocomplete (Copilot) to multi-file agents (Claude Code).
- Modern assistants read repo, plan, edit, run tests.
- Mainstream adoption: majority of professional devs.
When to use: Daily, on most non-trivial coding tasks; tool choice depends on workflow shape.
Example: Claude Code reads your repo, follows CLAUDE.md rules, applies edits with diff approval, opens a PR via gh.
