I cannot emphasize enough how much I prefer this "tutorial doc + build-it-yourself" coding workflow to the typical "ugh" feeling of reviewing huge agent PRs. You can try it right now and see for yourself: 1) Instead of having Claude Code make a PR, ask it to output a Markdown doc with a deep, detailed guide for a dev to implement the change, including teaching you background and context about the broader surrounding system, and rationale behind why we're doing things a certain way. Tell it to be very exhaustive and ultrathink. (The result should be go way more in-depth than a typical plan mode output, it may take a while so I tee this up well in advance) 2) Read the resulting doc. And then code it yourself! Use Cursor to go faster: tab complete is your friend. You can also use the Composer model in Cursor Agent to fast-forward thru tedious bits -- but avoid using slower models or doing too much AI work at one time. You are staying connected to the work and going step by step. Think about it as you go, correct course as needed. Go off-script from the tutorial doc whenever you want. What I find when I do this is that I'm able to reactivate the "building things manually" parts of my brain which help me make good decisions and understand what's going on, but I'm also able to go super fast with the AI tools.
