Coding Agents
Definition
Agents that read, write, and refactor code autonomously or semi-autonomously — Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and the workflows around them.
Why It Matters for Agents
The tooling changes weekly; the failure modes (silent edits, context pollution, conflicting parallel work) are stable. Track the changes that alter the failure modes.

OpenAI ships strict structured outputs for parallel tool use
Parallel tool calls now validate against JSON schema before execution — a whole class of agent failures disappears.
Agent-Ready Context
Batch multi-file edits into reviewable diffs. Isolate long tasks into subagents or worktrees. Gate autonomy behind evals in CI.
