Source-linked field guides for technical founders choosing tools, running parallel work, managing provider capacity, and keeping product context intact.
Every claim source-linked to current provider docs, official pricing, and git references.
13 practical guides across comparisons, workflows, usage, and safety.
Reviewed for current builds covering the agents, plans, and limits founders actually run.
A practical operating pattern for parallel coding agents, independent scopes, worktrees, review, and merge discipline.
Compare agents on your repository with the same bounded task and verification criteria.
Scope the work, launch the agent, watch for questions, and review diffs against evidence.
Bring the practice into a CmdBrief workspace so the product, task, and session stay together.
The official Claude Code desktop app, Conductor, Nimbalyst, Superset, Sculptor, Claude Squad, and CmdBrief — what each one is for, what it lacks, and how to choose, verified against each vendor’s own docs.
Read guideCompare Claude Code and Codex by workflow, supervision style, repository fit, and the practical value of using both.
Read guideCompare a terminal-first Claude Code workflow with an AI-native editor by context, control, and daily product operations.
Read guideSix ways to run several Claude Code sessions at once — terminal tabs, --worktree, the built-in claude agents view, the desktop app, tmux tools, and CmdBrief — with the commands, a comparison table, and the failure each one is prone to.
Read guideA practical operating pattern for parallel coding agents, independent scopes, worktrees, review, and merge discipline.
Read guideLearn where Claude Code fits in a local product workflow, how to scope tasks, and how to review its output.
Read guideUse Codex from a local repository with bounded tasks, explicit approvals, verification, and session continuity.
Read guideA repeatable loop for discovery, implementation, verification, review, and session handoff.
Read guideUnderstand provider-exposed usage windows, why limits vary, and how to plan agent work without relying on a fixed countdown claim.
Read guideChoose between Claude plans by workload, interruption cost, model access, and the value of additional capacity.
Read guideReview coding-agent subscriptions by outcomes, overlap, interruption cost, and provider dependence.
Read guideRun a local Model Context Protocol server directly, with clear transport, environment, and permission boundaries.
Read guideSet practical boundaries for filesystem access, commands, secrets, network calls, and high-risk actions.
Read guideGuides give you the operating loop. CmdBrief gives it a home — the agent, the task, the diff, and the product context in one local workspace. Create your account and put the next guide into practice.
4 questions
Technical founders running Claude Code, Codex, or other agent CLIs across real products. Each guide assumes bounded product work, not a toy repository or a staged demo.
Every guide ends with primary sources — current provider documentation, official pricing, or git references — so claims can be checked instead of trusted.
No. They are operating context. Confirm plan, pricing, model, and permission details in the official documentation linked at the end of each guide.
CmdBrief keeps the agent, task, diff, and product context attached to the same workspace, so the workflow a guide describes stays with the product it runs on.
