Stack

Agency stack: Cursor for builds, Claude for client-ready thinking.

Agencies need repeatability. The stack should produce plans, diffs, QA notes, and client explanations without reinventing the workflow every job.

Cursor role

Use Cursor for implementation, refactors, and repo-aware changes. Create project rules per client.

Claude role

Use Claude to write specs, client summaries, QA checklists, and non-technical explanations.

Hardware role

Agencies need reliable backup machines, docks, and monitors. That gives the hardware section a real reason to exist.

Process rule

Every client task needs a current-state note, a proof path, and a definition of done before Cursor changes files.

FAQ

Is this overkill for one freelancer?

No, not if client trust matters. Repeatable packets save time.

Should agencies disclose AI use?

Follow your contracts, client expectations, and applicable law. Do not hide material workflow details where disclosure is required.

Affiliate note: outbound buttons may earn referral credit or commissions. Cursor subscriptions should still be purchased only through the official Cursor checkout reached by the referral link.
