A single category could not describe tools that ship as a CLI, an editor plugin and a desktop app at once, and 7 of the 40 entries were filed under a surface they only partly match — cline is "an SDK, IDE extension or CLI assistant" in one `extension` slot, Reasonix ships CLI, desktop and VS Code under `cli`, warp is a terminal filed as `ide`. Tags cover five facets: surface (at least one), model access, workflow, integration, and origin (at most one). tagVocabulary in validate.go is the single source of truth — the validator, its error messages, and the dashboard's filter chips all derive from it, the last via a new facets field in site/data.json. The dashboard now filters on tags with multi-select chips grouped by facet: OR within a facet, AND across facets, plus a clear-filters control, and search matches tags as well as name and description. Only tags some row actually carries get a chip, so chips and rows cannot disagree. Tag pills are tinted per facet, replacing the category badge. All 40 entries are tagged from each repo's own README, topics and docs; CONTRIBUTING documents every tag and the evidence rule for applying one. A leftover `category:` key now fails validation with a message naming its replacement, rather than being silently ignored. README.md and data/history.jsonl are the regenerated updater output.

## How it works
1. `data/agents.yml` is the curated source list.
2. A daily GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/update.yml`) runs the Go updater.
3. The updater fetches live repo metadata via the GitHub GraphQL API in one batched query.
4. Star counts are appended to `data/history.jsonl` for 7-day delta computation.
5. This `README.md` is regenerated from `templates/readme.tmpl` and committed back to the repo.
6. `site/data.json` is regenerated and the [dashboard](https://tiennm99.github.io/awesome-coding-agents/) (`site/index.html`) is redeployed to GitHub Pages.
**Δ7d:** Change in stars over the past 7 days; `—` means fewer than 7 days of history.
## Contributing
**Inclusion criteria** — a repo belongs on this list when it is:
1. **An AI coding agent or assistant itself** — a tool that autonomously writes, edits, or reviews code. Frameworks, wrappers, observability layers, and workspaces *for* agents are out of scope.
2. **Notable**: roughly **10,000+ GitHub stars** (the current list floor).
3. **Open source and actively maintained** — no push in **6 months** means the entry is dropped. The daily run flags anything past **3 months** for review, so the ranking reflects tools people can actually use today.
Archived or abandoned repos are kept only when they are historically significant, and are marked as such in [`data/agents.yml`](data/agents.yml).
Add an agent to [`data/agents.yml`](data/agents.yml):
```yaml
agents:
- owner: github-username-or-org
repo: repository-name
tags: [terminal, byo-model, interactive, community]
```
**Tags** describe a tool across five facets — the [dashboard](https://tiennm99.github.io/awesome-coding-agents/) filters on them, OR within a facet and AND across facets:
| Facet | Tags |
|-------|------|
| Surface (at least one) | `terminal` · `editor-plugin` · `ide` · `desktop` · `web` · `self-hosted` |
| Model access | `byo-model` · `single-vendor` · `local-models` |
| Workflow | `interactive` · `autonomous` · `review` · `app-builder` · `research` |
| Integration | `mcp` · `acp` · `headless` |
| Origin (at most one) | `vendor` · `community` |
Apply a tag only when the repo's own README, docs, or topics back it up. See [`docs/CONTRIBUTING.md`](docs/CONTRIBUTING.md) for what each tag means.
Open a PR. The next daily run picks it up automatically.
PRs are validated automatically by CI (`go run . -check`): owner/repo must be non-empty and look like a real GitHub slug, every tag must come from the vocabulary above with at least one surface tag and at most one origin tag, and duplicates (case-insensitive) are rejected.
