Something I realized about this category of tool (I call them "terminal agents" but that already doesn't work now there's an official VS Code extension for this - maybe just "coding agents" instead) is that they're actually an interesting form of general agent.

Claude Code, Codex CLI etc can effectively do anything that a human could do by typing commands into a computer.

They're incredibly dangerous to use if you don't know how to isolate them in a safe container but wow the stuff you can do with them is fascinating.
