New Features

Agentic Coding AI Workflow in Beta

Give AI coding agents like Claude Code, Goose, and Aider the same structured, auditable, and governed environments your developers use. This beta release introduces foundational support for managing agentic workflows securely and at scale.

  • Provide agents with a safe, productive workspace: Limit permissions, enforce workspace policies, and log everything, just like you do for human developers.
  • See what agents are doing: Track active tasks in the dashboard or IDE with real-time status updates.
  • Stay in the loop: Get notifications when agents need input or are ready for review.

🧪 In early beta. Try it now and shape the future of enterprise-grade AI development.

Coder Desktop in Beta: Local Tools, Cloud Power

  • Bridge local and remote development: Connect to remote Coder workspaces from desktop IDEs, hardware, or custom tools through a fast, secure tunnel.
  • Stay productive in a poor network situation: Sync files automatically between local and remote environments for improved offline resiliency.
  • Simplify setup with native integration: No port-forwarding, browser-only restrictions, or IDE-specific plugins needed—just sign in and get started.

Prebuilt Workspaces in Beta: Start Workspaces in Seconds

  • Jumpstart development on any branch: Skip provisioning delays with pre-warmed workspace pools for faster onboarding, PR reviews, and branch switching.
  • Support high-performance and exploratory workflows: Speed up remote builds, GPU jobs, and preview environments to enable faster iteration and testing.
  • Customize for efficiency: Use presets to control idle infrastructure costs.

Run VS Code in the Browser—built into DevContainers

  • One-line setup: Add code-server to your devcontainer.json and launch a full-featured IDE in your browser.
  • No local install needed: Code from anywhere using just a browser. Perfect for cloud or remote workflows.
  • Open source and ready to use: Built by the creators of code-server, trusted by thousands of developers.

Aider Agent Module: Governed AI Pair Programming

  • Deploy Aider, an AI pair programming agent, through a governed module in the Coder Registry.
  • Bring your own LLM: Aider supports Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI, or any remote or local LLM provider to match your stack.
  • Standardize securely: Ensure consistent, compliant AI access across all environments without manual setup.

New Namespace Architecture for Code Modules

  • Module development is now centralized in the new coder/registry repo, using an author-namespace-based architecture to support clear ownership, easier discovery, and future growth.
  • All issues have been migrated, and the previous coder/modules repo will be archived soon (but remain historically accessible).
  • Modules remain backward compatible—existing modules from the old repo will continue to be served.
