AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor CLI, and OpenAI Codex have fundamentally changed how developers write software. You can kick off a complex refactoring task, generate an entire feature branch, or debug a stubborn production issue all from a single terminal prompt. But there’s a catch: these tools are tied to your workstation. Step away from your desk, and you lose visibility into what your agent is doing, whether it’s finished, or if it needs your input.
