Open the full glossary- CLI (Command-Line Interface)Directing a computer by typing instead of clicking.
- CLI AgentA CLI Agent is an Agent / Harness that reads files, edits files, and runs commands from a terminal.
- GUI (Graphical User Interface)The point-and-click face of a program: windows, buttons, menus and icons — the counterpart of the type-it-yourself command line.
- SDK (Software Development Kit)A service's own pre-packaged toolkit: it wraps the details of calling its API into a few convenient functions so you do not assemble requests yourself.
- HTTPThe request/response language between clients and servers — and the transport every model API uses.
- MCP (Model Context Protocol)An open standard for exposing tools, resources and prompt templates to AI clients — write the server once, and every MCP-compatible client can use it.
- RegressionA regression is a decline beyond threshold versus the baseline, in quality, cost, safety, or reliability; check it before shipping.

Agent Interfaces: choosing between CLI, API, browser use, computer use, and sandboxes
Which door does an agent act through? Adapted from the MIT-licensed curriculum's Stage 8 concept chapter: eight recurring terms, a 'smallest interface first' decision table, the three tables to draw before letting an agent act (allowlist, actions, approval gates), and the four questions to ask of any browser/computer-use benchmark score. The bigger the door, the higher the risk — the first principle is to pick the smallest, most inspectable one.
Technical Debt Tracking and Refactoring Prioritization: From Gut Feel to Data-Driven Decisions
Once technical debt piles up, the team falls into the vicious cycle of 'bugs that are never fixed and no time for new features'. This article wires SonarQube, CodeClimate, LLM nodes, and a custom dashboard into a technical-debt quantification pipeline: extract code metrics, assess business impact, compute refactoring ROI, and rank priorities, so the tech lead can use data to persuade the product manager to allocate refactoring time.
The AI Coding Tools Map: Recognize the Form Factor First, Memorize Names Later
Cursor, Trae, Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, DeepSeek Harness, WorkBuddy and Doubao Work sorted into three categories by form factor: IDE-embedded, terminal agent, and orchestration platform. For each category: what it gives you, how much control and visibility it takes away, and how people actually mix them in practice — so you can decide which category your first tool should come from.
The Evolution of the Harness: Six Eras, Each With Its New Capabilities and New Ways to Crash
From pure-prompt chatbots, CoT and ReAct reasoning prompts, and function calling — the real turning point — to MCP standardization, long-running CLI Agents, and always-on multi-Agent orchestration: era by era, what new capability the harness gained each time, and what new failure mode that capability incidentally introduced.
What Is a Terminal: The Name of Everything in That Window You Just Opened
Every install guide's first line is 'open a Terminal.' You open it, see a dark window and a line of text, and don't know where to look next. This isn't a command list — it dissects the screen in front of you line by line: what that window is, why typing can make things happen, what the prompt is telling you, and the invisible but always-active 'current directory.'
What Is Claude Code: The Reference Template for Terminal Agents
The flow of one real session explains what Claude Code is: a coding agent that lives in your terminal, reading files, editing files, running commands and iterating until the task is done.
