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).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
