I juggle Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Codex daily. Here's what actually works:

• The secret is context engineering feed AI code that works, it writes code that works

• Use open-source aggressively. Load proven repos with /add-dir as context

• Debugging servers? Let AI call your APIs directly it catches errors in real-time, not you describing symptoms for hours

• Stuck with one agent? Switch mid-task without losing context

I've been experimenting with different AI tools and realized: sticking to just one limits you.

Here's how I split my workflow:

• Design (big picture): Antigravity

• Design (details): Cursor Visual Editor

• Overall logic: Claude Code

• Tricky logic that won't solve: Codex

• File cleanup: Gemini CLI

Each tool has its strengths. Mixing them gets way better results than forcing one to do everything.
