Agentic IDEs (Claude Code, Cursor)
Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Windsurf — prompt patterns behind agentic coding workflows.
4 hours3 resources1 prereqs
Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, Codex — all LLM + tool use + git + filesystem. Shared patterns:
- Plan first — break big tasks into a todo list
- Read context selectively — open only needed files, ignore the rest
- Diff-based editing — change patches, not full-file rewrites
- Verify with tools — run tests, see type errors, feed back
- Self-review — summarize changes, ask user for approval
Learning these is gold for building your own agent.
