How does modo help vs using a skill or claud.md that says to always do this? Not a critique just giving you a chance to sell it :)

yeah this is my question too. a good CLAUDE.md with some structure goes a long way already

A visual demo beyond entering an api key would be useful. A picture says a thousand words. I did not feel inclined to read all of the readme, but when i saw people here talking about mission control I went back one more time.

Do you feel like you need a demo for yet another VSC vibecoded clone?

This looks great. Building right into the editor looks like a solid way to go. I built "Agent Kanban" (anextension) for VS Code to enforce a similar "plan, tasks, implement" flow as you describe. That flow is really powerful for getting solid Agentic coding results. My tool went the route of encouraging the model via augmenting AGENTS.md and having the Kanban task file be markdown that the user and agent converse in…

I just posted something similar but with Obsidian Kanban plugin .md files:
