AI-powered, "agentic" Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and command-line interface (CLI) developed by Amazon (AWS).
- Steering: Workspace-specific markdown files (like tech.md or structure.md) that provide the AI with persistent context abot a project’s conventions, libraries, and architectural rules.
- Agent Hooks: Automation triggers that execute specific actions (like updating documentation or running tests) when files are created, saved, or modified.
- Powers: Modular packages that combine MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools, steering rules, and hooks for specific technologies (e.g., AWS services, Stripe, or Postman) to give the agent domain-specific expertise.
- Autonomous Agent: A feature that can handle complex, multi-repo tasks asynchronously in an isolated sandbox, such as upgrading libraries across multiple microservices.
- Model Context Protocol (MCP): Support for the MCP standard, allowing the IDE to connect to external data sources and tools.
