It’s all about context management. Cursor handles the immediate file perfectly, while Claude Code acts as a true agent for the entire repository. Using them together creates a workflow that maximizes both speed and architectural consistency.
Context management is the secret sauce. A lot of devs blame the AI for "hallucinating" when usually it’s just a context issue. Using Cursor for the "micro" and Claude for the "macro" seems to be the winning formula for keeping the repo clean.
