Kiro

Spec-driven agentic IDE — turn prompts into specs, then code.

FREEMIUMLocalmacOSWindowsLinuxCLI

Kiro is AWS's agentic IDE that brings engineering rigor to AI coding. Instead of vibe-coding straight to a diff, it first generates durable spec artifacts — requirements, a technical design, and a task list — then implements them. Agent hooks automate routine actions on file events, and it runs on Claude models.

Model support

Multi-model

  • Claude Sonnet 4.5
  • Claude Opus

    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.

    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.

    OpenAI Codex CLI

    OpenAI

    OpenAI's open-source coding agent for the terminal.

    A lightweight, open-source coding agent that runs locally in your terminal, reading your repository, editing files, and running commands in a conversational loop you review in real time. Built in Rust for speed, it supports Model Context Protocol tools, subagents for parallel tasks, and switching between GPT models.

    Tabnine

    Privacy-first AI coding assistant you control — completions, chat, and agents.

    An AI coding assistant built for enterprise control, offering completions, chat, and agentic workflows across all major IDEs. It never trains on or retains your code, and can be deployed as SaaS, in a VPC, on-premises, or fully air-gapped. Supports access to major LLMs plus bring-your-own and private models.

    AI insight: Deploys fully air-gapped on-prem with zero code retention — for teams that can't send their source to any vendor cloud.
