- API tools—get the job done in a single request
2425
- privacy first—zero telemetry
2526
- lightweight—about 1MB of code

Coding agents are designed to offload the burden of relevant context selection from the programmer. With today's advancements in LLMs capabilities, the technology is dramatically accelerating the pace a new code is created. For some it is too fast too keep up though. Over time, they lose confidence in their understanding of the codebase they work on. Verifying AI-suggested changes can become challenging, making it easier for bugs or unintended behaviors to slip in.

CWC does not prompt-engineer any form of autonomous AI assistance, instead, it expects programmer to be constantly in the loop with the evolving codebase by requiring careful context selection.
