Can anyone recommend a workflow / tools that accomplishes a slightly more augmented version of antirez’ workflow & suggestions minus the copy-pasting?

I am on board to agree that pure LLM + pure original full code as context is the best path at the moment, but I’d love to be able to use some shortcuts like quickly applying changes, checkpoints, etc.

My persistent (and not unfounded?) worry is that all the major tools & plugins (Cursor, Cline/Roo) all play games with their own sub-prompts and context “efficiency”.

What’s the purest solution?

You can actually just put Cursor in manual mode and it's the same thing. You 100% manage the context and there's no agentic loop.

If your codebase fits in the context window, you can also just turn on "MAX" mode and it puts it all in the context for you.
