AI Stack Blueprint

The AI Coding Agent Stack

Claude Code, Amp, and Aider — how to pick the right coding agent and build a workflow that ships.

Goal

Evaluate and deploy an AI coding agent stack matched to your workflow: compare agentic CLI tools (Claude Code, Amp, Aider) for autonomous code generation, layer in Cursor for in-IDE assistance, and establish an eval loop that catches regressions before they land.

Built For

Developers and engineering teams moving beyond tab-completion toward agentic code generation — especially those evaluating Claude Code, Amp, or Aider for real production tasks.

Architecture (85), Reliability (78), and Context (90) all exceed the 70-point threshold for strength, indicating a modular, mature, and momentum-rich stack. No A.R.C. sub-score falls below 65, and heat signals (Claude Code in peak phase, Aider stable at score 2) reflect ecosystem activity rather than structural risk. The blueprint is well-positioned to absorb tool changes and maintain regression detection across the coding agent layer.
