About this tag
The developer agents tag brings together coverage of AI-assisted software development, with a focus on how coding tools work inside real projects. Current discussion centers on the “harness” around an AI model: systems that find and provide relevant code, dependencies, conventions, and specifications before changes are suggested or written.
