Why would we create a framework to make coding easier when nobody writes code by hand any more?
Make one that's optimal for Ai somehow
Like convex.dev

#62I wonder when all of them will adopt AGENT.md and stop using gemini.md/claude.md/crush.md/summary.md/qwen.md https://agent.md [redirect -> https://ampcode.com/AGENT.md ] https://agent-rules.org
Yep, that's a peeve of mine. I've resorted to using AGENT.md, and aliasing Claude, Gemini, etc to a command that calls them with an initial instruction to read that file. But of course they will forget after some time. The whole agentic coding via CLI experience could be much improved by: - Making it easy to see what command I last issued, without having to scroll up through reams of output hunting for context - Maki…
I think most of them provide an option to change the default file, but it'll be really good if they all can switch to AGENT.md by default
Till then you can also use symlinks
there are issues opened in some repos for this
- Support "AGENT.md" spec + filename · Issue #4970 · google-gemini/gemini-cli

#63Claude Code but can use GPT-5 built in. Not a bad selling point
Claude Code can use GPT-5 via LiteLLM

Agree. It's all English. That's the whole point of these tools.
Why are we purposely creating CLI dialects?
Re: Cursor CLI
#65With all the frontier labs competing in this space now, and them letting you use your consumer subscription through the CLI, I don’t understand how the Cursor products will survive. Why pay an extra $X/mo when I can get this functionality included in the $Y/mo I’m already paying OAI/Anthropic/GOOG?
Because you can always use the best model. Yesterday is was Claude Opus 4.1, today it's GPT-5. If you just were paying Anthropic you will be stuck with Claude.
Yeah but I still want a general purpose chatbot subscription also. So I’d have to buy Cursor + something else.
I guess Cursor makes sense for people who only use LLMs for coding.
Re: Cursor CLI
#66Does it work with local LLMs like through Ollama or llama.cpp?
Re: Cursor CLI
#67That's funny. I was really hoping that Anthropic would make a "Claude GUI".
In one of their Claude Code talks they said it didn’t seem worth it, given their expectation that all IDEs will become obsolete by next year.
Xcode pretty much hung up their hat this year, and threw in with Claude.

#68Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't really need an IDE, but I do need a great code review interface.
As someone who hasn’t used Claude Code yet, can’t you configure it somehow to use a different tool of your liking, or it has to be in the cli?
I end up using the VCS tooling (lazygit for me), but coding agents really need to be integrated with this review environment. We need an extra step where the agent will group its changes into logical units (database models in one commit, types in another, business logic in another, tests in another), rather than having to review per-file.
Programming has changed from writing code to reviewing/QAing and reprompting, but the tooling hasn't yet caught up with that workflow. We need Gerrit for coding agents, basically.

I agree that cursor has to take an aggressive and differentiated approach to succeed, but they have the benefit of pushing each lab into a commodity.
I pay for Cursor and ChatGPT. I can imagine I’d pay for Gemini if I used an android. The chat bots (1) won’t keep the subscription competitive with APIs because the cost and usage models are different and (2) most chat bots today are more of a UX competition than model quality. And the only winners are ChatGPT and whatever integrated options the user has by default (Gemini, MSFT Copilot, etc).

Yeah I suspect some of these providers will become Microsoft in the '90s type bully holdouts on implementing the emerging conventions. But ultimately with CLI interface you have workarounds to all the major providers read in your system guidelines. But in an IDE - e.g. like MS had with VisualStudio - you more lock-in potential for your config files.
Yesterday, I was writing about a way I found to pass the same guideline documents into Claude, Gemini, and Aider CLI-coders: https://github.com/sutt/agro/blob/master/docs/case-studies/a...
