My Agentic Development Workflow (as of July 2026)
Using AI for development is changing fast, and my workflow is ever evolving like a side character in Lost. I’m starting to snapshot this now so I can look back on it in terms of how ridiculous it was to think this was optimal.
Current setup
Hermes (Nous) is the main coordination layer. Handles daily todos, cron jobs, web research, and delegates out to coding agents when needed.
- Cursor as the daily driver for anything that lives in a repo, split by job: one context for big features, one for debugging, one in agent mode.
- Claude Code / Codex / OpenCode when I want a raw terminal session instead of the IDE.
Three layer cake
Hermes is where I think. Cursor is where I build, it’s fast and it has the whole repo in context. The terminal tools are for the tasks that don’t deserve a project at all.
