CLUSTER CODING-TERMINAL-AGENT · 103 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-12-10

Terminal AI coding agents

This cluster comprises terminal-first AI coding agents and orchestrators that help developers plan, write, review, and supervise code from the command line, including multi-agent coordination and persistent background workers. Dated entries begin with a single product in 2017-12, then remain sparse until early 2025, when monthly counts rise irregularly to a pre-index peak of 10 in 2026-05, with 6 in 2026-02 and 2026-06 and 5 in 2026-04 and 2026-07. Traction leaders are tiny-engineer (274 stars), umadev (257 stars), and cocode (163 stars).
