# What Is an Agentic Workspace

An agentic workspace is the environment around a coding agent, not just the agent itself. It gives the agent room to run, and it gives the human enough visibility to inspect what happened.

For real development, that surrounding workspace matters. Fast intent-to-code loops are useful, but they are not enough on their own when a task touches project files, verification, and review.

## What Belongs In An Agentic Workspace

An agentic workspace should keep the core engineering surfaces close to the agent:

- terminal output
- files
- Git status and diffs
- session history
- verification commands
- review checkpoints
- cross-device visibility when a task keeps running

The point is not just to launch an agent. The point is to keep the execution loop inspectable while the agent works.

## Why A Terminal Alone Is Not Enough

A terminal is a strong runtime surface, but it is only one part of the workflow.

When an agent works only in a terminal:

- output scrolls away quickly
- changed files and diffs live somewhere else
- verification often happens in separate shell tabs
- long-running work is harder to inspect away from the desk

That terminal-first flow is fast, but it can make agent work feel opaque.

## Why An Editor Alone Is Not Enough

An editor shows the files, but it does not automatically show the full execution loop behind those files.

For agentic work, you also need to see:

- what the agent ran
- what the terminal reported
- what changed in Git
- whether verification passed
- whether a human has reviewed the result

Without that surrounding context, the final files can look cleaner than the actual process that produced them.

## Why Review Matters

Generated code can look plausible and still be wrong, incomplete, or risky.

Review matters because it keeps a human in the loop:

- inspect changed files
- read the diff
- run or confirm verification
- decide whether the result is ready

That is the core promise behind inspectable vibe coding. Speed still matters, but the work should stay reviewable.

## Where Coder Studio Fits

Coder Studio is designed as an agentic workspace for real development.

Today, built-in support covers Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. The larger direction is a workspace that can bring more coding agents together over time while keeping the same engineering surfaces visible: terminals, files, Git, sessions, review, and cross-device supervision.

Your code and runtime stay on your machine.
