01 / AI agent tools
AI agent tools are workflows, stack choices, and build paths.
If you searched broadly for AI developer tools, the useful answer is not a random list of coding assistants. Start with the stack map, compare the routes, or jump into one concrete workflow.
A cluster route into the public canon: stack map first, workflow next, build paths only when they matter.
Need The Whole Stack?
Start with the stack map.
Use it when the blocker is tool roles, boundaries, or how the pieces fit.
Need One Real Workflow?
Jump into the Datafast CLI path.
Use it when a concrete example matters more than the whole stack view.
Choosing Between Routes?
Use the compact map below.
Compare the stack map, Datafast workflow, build path, and SEO workflow before you click deeper.
Compact Stack Map
Compare the main routes before you choose one.
Use this compact map to see what each page covers, when to use it, where it stops, and what you get.
Maps the stack, tool roles, and decision boundaries.
Start here when you need the whole setup before choosing a workflow.
This note maps the stack. It is not the full command walkthrough.
You leave with the stack map, role boundaries, and the right next-note route.
Datafast Workflow
Datafast CLI for AI Agent Tools: Workflow, Artifacts, HandoffsShows one analytics workflow through commands, outputs, and handoffs.
Start here when you need one real loop before the broader stack view.
This note shows one workflow. It does not replace the stack map.
You leave with the command order, outputs, and handoff points for an analytics workflow.
Explains how Starkslab builds the CLI behind the workflow.
Use this once you need implementation details, not the routing overview.
This is the build walkthrough, not the broad AI developer tools answer.
You get the CLI shape, output rules, and build notes behind the tool.
Harness Layer
The Coding Agent Harness Layer: How to Orchestrate Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and More Without Workflow RotFrames the control plane above coding CLIs: routing, switching, continuity, and wrappers.
Use this after the stack/workflow view when coding-agent orchestration becomes the bottleneck.
This is the owner page for the harness sub-lane, not a separate card for every support note.
You get the control layer for routing, switching, session continuity, and wrapper choices above coding CLIs.
Applies the same command-and-output pattern to keyword, SERP, audit, and ranking work.
Use this after the stack or Datafast path when you want a second workflow example.
This is a follow-up page, not the first broad entry point.
You get the keyword, SERP, audit, and ranking flow as a second example.
Stack Map
