AI Coding Agents Compared: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot and More
Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Copilot and four open-source agents compared on licence, sign-in, where code runs, approvals and MCP support.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.
Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Copilot and four open-source agents compared on licence, sign-in, where code runs, approvals and MCP support.
The Safeguard CLI is a coding assistant that knows your vulnerabilities, fixes named CVEs, asks before acting, and works with your Claude or ChatGPT plan.
Zed, Cline, Kilo Code and OpenHands are open-source front ends for coding agents, like T3 Code. How they differ, and how to check what an agent changes.
Aider, Goose, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cline and Qwen Code are open-source terminal agents you can use instead of OpenCode. Here is what to check first.
Scan your repo with the Safeguard CLI before an OpenCode or T3 Code session, scan again after, compare vuln.json, fix new findings and recheck in CI.
Yarn routes packages with npmRegistryServer and npmScopes, requires HTTPS by default and strict SSL. How to scope private registries and avoid token leaks.
A yarn.lock v1 entry maps one or more version ranges to a single resolved version. Here is how to read it and why scanners use it instead of package.json.
Registries use different words for a dependency that should not be used. What yank, retract, deprecate and archived mean to a consumer, and which should fail a build.
An SBOM diff gives you the dependency section of release notes: components added, removed and updated, plus advisories cleared. Includes a template.
