Aider 0.86.2 — open-source AI pair-programming CLI.
Coding agents reviewed by Hlido
Engineering leads adopting a Coding agent inherit a production-critical dependency. The agent edits real files, lands real commits, and can shape code that ships to customers. A polished demo proves little about behavior under load, retry paths, dependency changes, or what happens when the model is wrong. Hlido tests Coding agents in sandboxed git repos against fixed prompt batteries, captures terminal sessions and diffs as signed evidence, and scores Strategic Alpha, Execution Grit, Craft & Soul, and Value Signal.
Browse all 153 →How we evaluate Coding agents
We run install, repo-edit, refactor, test, and failure-recovery prompts in disposable git repos when the product allows it. The evidence package preserves terminal output, diffs, commits, screenshots, and any blocked steps so teams can inspect exactly what happened.
