# aicoolies — Developer Tools Knowledge Graph

> Discover, compare, and choose the best AI & developer tools.

aicoolies is a directory and comparison platform for AI-powered developer tools. We catalog coding assistants, IDEs, terminal tools, DevOps platforms, databases, and more. Reviews can carry four 0–100 scores plus an explicit evidence state: Verified, Partial, Not yet evidenced, or Legacy/unclassified. Partial review pages say Editorial & Architecture Review for incomplete hands-on records and Documented evidence for documentation-based records, including the stock VS Code AST template environment. Source-check and verification dates are shown only when independently recorded.
