AI Tools

Coding Agents / Extensions

TIP

Keep in mind many coding AIs run in root, so it's best to avoid giving them full drive / root access to avoid any sort of issues or accidental deletions as they can modify files and execute terminal commands. Remember to backup code first before running the AI or prompts, as they can sometimes break things. Running in a container or VM is recommended.
