An architecture blueprint for translating Ultracode's high-effort planner, parallel workers, verification, state, and guardrails into Cursor or a custom agent harness.
A side-by-side comparison of OpenSpec and Superpowers for engineers and architects: what each tool actually ships, how spec generation differs, and where implementation discipline comes from.
Running one workspace agent in the cloud is a trick; running ten reliably is an engineering discipline. A source-backed guide to environment-as-code, secrets, private submodule auth, fan-out topology, and the review capacity that actually limits throughput.
A practical guide to the full vibe-coding loop — explore with Ask mode and OpenSpec, install skills, generate with Plan mode or spec-driven tools, review with Bugbot and /simplify, verify in the browser with Playwright MCP, deploy with MCP, and capture lessons in custom skills.
Why OpenSpec's explore → propose → apply loop is a better default than built-in Plan Mode: lighter ceremony, durable repo-native plans, and guardrails that keep exploration agnostic until you choose to commit.
A practical deep dive into OpenSpec's expanded OPSX workflows and custom schemas: when to use /opsx:new, /opsx:continue, /opsx:ff, /opsx:verify, /opsx:bulk-archive, /opsx:onboard, and how to design your own workflow.
A practical, source-backed guide for engineers and PMs adopting OpenSpec: when to start with an existing project, when to use it for a new build, and how to run the first workflow safely.
A practical guide for engineers and PMs on what belongs in the main AI coding conversation, what can be delegated to subagents, and what the real tradeoffs look like in Cursor and Claude Code.
A practical research audit for engineers and PMs: when agent skills improve coding agents, when default agents plus repo context are enough, and how to evaluate the tradeoff.
A friendly, evidence-based comparison of Claude Sonnet 4.6 1M and Cursor Composer 2.5 Fast across speed, intelligence, coding, agents, cost, and product fit.
A simple, source-backed guide for engineers and PMs to start with GitHub Spec Kit, understand the main commands, and use the workflow cleanly in Cursor or Claude Code.
A source-backed follow-up on routing GitHub Spec Kit phases across fast drafting models, deeper planning models, and stronger implementation models without treating all steps as the same kind of work.
A practical brownfield workflow for reconstructing one existing feature into spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md, and supporting Spec Kit artifacts without pretending you are starting from scratch.
A research-checked guide to adding GitHub Spec Kit to a brownfield repository, wiring it into Cursor IDE and Cursor Background Agents, and adapting the workflow for polyrepo delivery.
A practical engineer-first guide to turning a messy enterprise feature into specs, acceptance criteria, Beads task graphs, git worktrees, and parallel delivery across Cursor and Claude Code.
A grounded look at how Cursor's subagents and skills fit with Claude Code's subagents, worktrees, and the new /simplify command for research, implementation, and cleanup.
A research-checked comparison of Claude Code, Cursor, and Beads for planning, execution, persistence, and async collaboration in modern product development.
Learn Git from scratch — essential commands, GitHub CLI installation, and how to use Claude Code or Cursor to run Git for you. Five levels of depth for every type of learner.
