A coding agentcoding agent, n.: An AI agent that writes and fixes software by itself: it reads a codebase, edits files, runs commands and tests, and keeps working until a feature is built or a bug is fixed. product from Anthropic for agentic codingagentic coding, n.: Writing software by directing AI agents that plan, edit and test code themselves, with the human acting more as a reviewer and manager than as the person typing every line., in which Claude models work directly in a developer's environment — searching the repository, making edits, running shell commands, builds and tests, and handling git — under a permission systempermission system, n.: The rules that decide what an AI agent may do on its own, what it must ask a person about first, and what it may never do — like a phone's settings for which apps can use the camera. that asks before risky actions unless configured otherwise. Around the core agent loopagent loop, n.: The repeating cycle at the heart of an AI agent: the model decides what to do next, software carries it out, the result is shown to the model, and the cycle repeats until the task is finished. it popularized harness features now common across agents: a CLAUDE.md agent instruction fileagent instruction file, n.: A plain-text file kept in a software project that tells AI coding agents how the project works — how to build and test it, which conventions to follow, what to avoid — read at the start of every session. loaded into every session, subagentssubagent, n.: A helper AI agent that a main agent starts to handle one piece of a job; it works in its own separate workspace and reports back a short summary when it is done. with separate contexts, lifecycle hookshook, n.: A user-supplied script or check that runs automatically at set moments in an AI agent's work — before a command, after a file edit, when it tries to stop — enforcing rules the AI cannot skip., skillsagent skill, n.: A packaged how-to guide for an AI agent — written steps, sometimes with small programs and examples attached — that sits unread until a job of that kind comes up, when the agent opens it., plugins, MCPModel Context Protocol, prop. n.: An open standard that lets AI assistants plug into outside apps and data — files, calendars, databases, business software — through one common connector instead of a custom link for every pairing; often likened to a USB-C port for AI. integrations, an operating-system-level sandboxsandbox, n.: A sealed-off computer space where an AI agent can run programs and change files without being able to harm the real system, reach private data or contact the outside world unless allowed. for shell commands, and headless and cloud modes for backgroundbackground agent, n.: An AI agent you hand a task to and then leave alone: it works by itself in the cloud, often for many minutes or hours, and reports back with finished work for you to review. work. Its runtime was also released as a software development kit, renamed the Claude Agent SDK in September 2025 to reflect its use for agents beyond coding.
