## What it is
RA.Aid is a standalone autonomous coding agent built on LangGraph that researches, plans, and implements multi-step software development tasks. It can execute shell commands and edit code, optionally integrating with aider for code editing.

## Use cases
- autonomously implement a feature in my codebase
- ai coding agent that plans and executes multi-step tasks
- automate software development with an llm agent
- have an agent research and fix bugs for me
- cli tool to develop software autonomously
- agent that can run shell commands and edit code

## When to choose
- you want a terminal-based autonomous coding agent with multi-step planning
- you want optional aider integration for code edits
- you prefer an open-source Apache-2.0 agent you can run locally with various LLM providers

## When to avoid
- you need a fully sandboxed or guaranteed-safe tool - it executes shell commands and modifies code
- you want a GUI-first pair programmer rather than a CLI agent
- you cannot tolerate beta-quality autonomy and must review every change manually anyway
