What it is
A coding agent offered as a command-line tool, desktop app, VS Code extension, JetBrains plugin and Node.js SDK. It edits files, runs shell commands, connects to MCP servers and many model providers.
Who it might suit
Teams wanting one coding agent across editor, terminal and desktop, or an SDK for building agents of their own.
What to check first
It edits files and runs shell commands, and its README says an auto-approve toggle lets it run autonomously. Scheduled agents and chat-platform connections can also act without anyone at the terminal. The JetBrains plugin is not open-sourced.
How it runs
CLI, IDE extension, desktop app, npm SDK
