Coding Agents and CLIs
Five lessons on the coding agents that are not Claude Code. What each one does differently, the rules file each one reads, what your existing subscription already includes, and a decision table for picking one without guessing.
When you finish, you can
Name what Codex, Cursor, and Grok Build each do differently, set up the rules file each one reads, and choose the right tool for a given job.
