Coding assistants help you as you work: they read your Project’s code and write alongside you in the IDE. To build an agentic system and deploy it for other people to use, see Agents.
What’s included
The Domino Standard Environment ships with three coding agents, pre-installed and ready to use:
In VS Code workspaces, all three agents come as pre-installed extensions. Claude Code and Codex also work as CLI tools in any workspace IDE, including the VS Code terminal.
Domino-aware agents
Coding assistants that run in Domino detect your Domino project automatically. They interact with platform resources, including datasets, jobs, and registered models, through a skills framework. Your coding agent knows about your project files, datasets, and the full Domino platform. There’s no generic sandbox. The agent operates with full context of where the workspace runs and which tools are available.
Persistence
Workspace home directory persistence preserves your coding agent settings and chat history. When you restart a workspace, your agents keep their configuration, authentication state, and conversation context from previous sessions.Next steps
