I love how AI coding agents dynamically create temporary tools to accomplish specific tasks. Instead of relying solely on pre-built capabilities, they can generate lightweight, purpose-built utilities on demand (eg scripts, parsers, transformations, test harnesses, automation layers, or debugging helpers) and discard them once the objective is complete.

It makes problem-solving feel less like using static software and more like collaborating with an adaptive engineering system that can extend itself in real time.

Is there a word/phrase for this ability/process? Tool Synthesis?
