Definition
Agentic coding is AI-driven software development where a model plans, edits files, runs commands, and iterates on errors largely on its own, rather than acting as a turn-by-turn autocomplete. The promise is end-to-end task completion; the open problems are reliability over long sessions, repository-scale context, and trust.
