Starter stack

AI stack for developers.

A developer stack should move from explanation to editor help to agentic changes without losing review discipline.

Recommended stack

• ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for learning and architecture discussion.
• Cursor, Windsurf, or Copilot for editor-centered changes.
• Claude Code, Codex, or OpenHands for multi-file repo tasks.
• GitHub for source control and pull-request review.
• MCP only when tool access is clearly useful and safe.

How to keep it sane

• Name the workflow before adding the tool.
• Keep a human approval step for anything public, financial, legal, or account-changing.
• Write down the verification check and run it every time.
• Replace tools that add friction without improving output.
