Autonomous coding agent

What is Autonomous coding agent?

An autonomous coding agent completes software tasks with minimal human direction — planning, writing, testing, and submitting code on its own.

"Autonomous" describes how much the agent does without step-by-step input. The safest autonomous tools still end at a human checkpoint — a pull request someone approves.
