AI coding tools are increasingly interacting directly with the system shell (terminal) rather than traditional code editors, driven by the rise of agentic AI and tools like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and CLI Codex. This shift, highlighted by benchmarks like Terminal-Bench, is occurring as some code-based tools face challenges and offers a versatile interface for developers.
Atlassian announces Rovo Dev CLI, an agentic AI coding experience for developers in the command line, offering code understanding, development acceleration, Atlassian ecosystem integration, security features, and extensibility. It achieves state-of-the-art results on the SWE-bench benchmark.
