At a glance
Docs overview of Coder Agents, Agent Relay, IDE agents, and agents-in-templates—plus Terraform snippet to install Claude Code/Codex modules into a workspace template. This workflow is listed under sponsor, coding-agent, devtools, templates.
Coder blog explains why local Claude Code is risky for enterprises, then shows AWS/EKS reference setup, golden templates with Claude Code registry module, managed settings, and audited sessions.
Coder’s tutorial walks you through a Docker+Ubuntu workspace template in Terraform: coder_agent, code-server via coder_app, persistent home volume, then push with the CLI or dashboard.
Parallax is a Windows/Linux desktop workspace that runs Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity or any shell in named panes with a built-in editor, local Git, session directory, voice chat, and saved layouts—agents stay independent (no auto-orchestration); local-only data; subscription required ($11.99/mo or $99.99/yr USD) plus your provider plans.
Tern is a free closed-source Mac-native (CLI/TUI also on Linux) control plane for 16 coding-agent CLIs: each task gets its own git worktree/branch, changes land in one review queue with comments routed back to the agent, conflict radar, multi-step runs with gates, phone approvals without Tern servers, and a daemon that keeps agents alive after you close the window.
