    Claude Code

    Anthropic

    Anthropic's official CLI / IDE / web agent. Primary author at Blokz.

    Claude Code is our lead architect. It reads the spec, drafts the diff, runs the tests, and opens the PR — across CLI, IDE extensions, the desktop app, and the web. Everything on blokz.dev was built with it.

    AI insight: Ships the same agent across CLI, IDE extension, desktop, and web from one codebase — and it's the tool that wrote this very directory.

    Cursor

    Anysphere

    AI-first code editor. Multi-model, tab-completion native.

    Fork of VS Code with deep model integration — multi-line tab completion, agent mode, chat with codebase context. Strong for fast iteration on existing repos.

    AI insight: A full VS Code fork, so existing extensions and keybindings carry over — and one subscription covers Claude, GPT, and Gemini without a key.

    Warp

    Warp

    Agentic development environment born out of the terminal.

    A modern terminal and agent platform — multi-agent orchestration, codebase indexing, a built-in editor (Warp Code), and granular permission controls for running coding agents. Adds the Oz cloud layer for remote agent execution and team knowledge via Warp Drive. Free tier with monthly AI credits; paid Build/Max/Business plans add more credits and BYOK.

    AI insight: Began as a from-scratch Rust terminal and grew into a multi-agent dev environment — the command line reimagined as an agent surface.

    Zed

    Zed Industries

    The fast, open-source AI code editor in Rust, from the Atom creators.

    A GPU-accelerated, Rust-built editor with first-class agentic AI — parallel agents, edit prediction, and an open Agent Client Protocol that plugs into Claude, GPT, Gemini, MCP servers, and external CLI agents like Claude Code. Fully open source (GPL-3); BYO key or an optional hosted Pro tier.

    AI insight: From the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter — its open Agent Client Protocol lets external agents like Claude Code drive the editor.
