Set it up
Pick a contained repo or task
Start on a branch or side project where mistakes are cheap.
Install and configure
Set up Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, MCP. Read what it can run on your machine and limit permissions where possible.
Run it on a real task
Give it a well-scoped issue and let it work. Review the diff like any pull request.
Add guardrails
Keep tests and CI in the loop, and never let an agent push to main or touch production secrets unattended.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

Ask me 3 short questions about my situation (accounts I have, budget, what I want the output to look like). 2. Propose a step-by-step plan using these tools or cheaper alternatives, with the time and cost of each step. Use official pricing pages; say "check pricing" if unsure. 3.

Related use cases
Let your next coding agent search what the last one already tried
Switching from Claude Code to Codex or Cursor meant explaining the same work again, so a developer built Agent Recall: a local, redacted index of past agent transcripts that the next agent can search.
Get notified when your coding agent finishes or needs approval
Midway is a Rust CLI that pings you when long commands finish and when Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor and other agents are done or waiting for approval. Install with cargo install midway-cli.
Put one coding agent in charge of the others
Running Claude Code, Codex, Grok and Cursor in four terminals meant copying work between them by hand, so a former café owner and trader built Hivelane: one agent leads and the rest are on call.
See which coding agent chat is waiting on you from one local board
DHI Orbit is one local board for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and Antigravity that shows what needs you, what is working, your usage limits and a reply box.
