Pros
  • Excellent JetBrains + VS Code support
  • Tight GitHub PR integration
  • Now offers multiple model choices
  • Free tier for individuals
  • Drops into Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, v0, Lovable and others
  • Named skills (minimalist, brutalist, audit, etc.) instead of one mega-prompt
  • Includes image-to-code and visual-audit redesign protocols
  • Fully open source with one-command install via npx skills
Cons
  • UX less integrated than Cursor
  • Multi-file edits are catching up but not yet leading
  • Quality is bounded by whichever agent actually executes the skill
  • No hosted UI, dashboard, or API - markdown rules only
  • Niche audience: assumes you already work inside an agentic coding tool
