Coding Agent
Software Developers, DevOps EngineersRecipe Overview
Complex software tasks span many files and edits, which is error-prone. A coding agent automates these tasks by breaking them into steps and using tests to guide corrections. The agent solves coordination by iteratively editing code and verifying it. For instance, it might first fix a bug in one file, run tests to check for regressions, then update related files as needed. This systematic approach reduces errors and handles complexity that would overwhelm manual editing. The agent can work across entire codebases while maintaining consistency and catching integration issues early.
