Maestro AI: A Router That Stops Overpaying for LLM Calls
Maestro AI routes each LLM call in Cursor and Claude Code to the cheapest capable model, escalating to premium tiers only when task complexity demands it.
How Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex actually load your rules
Cursor loads .mdc rules conditionally, Claude Code loads CLAUDE.md upfront, Codex merges AGENTS.md by directory depth. How each tool actually works and what rule-writing habits transfer across all three.
trelix v1.0 to v2.7: From Simple Search to a Platform
trelix's evolution from v1.0 to v2.7 covers a knowledge graph, seven retrieval legs, an agentic loop, and production hardening that turned it into a platform.
Treat the Context Window Like a Budget, Not a Junk Drawer
An open-source context-engineering framework has AI agents draft a context manifest before work begins, disciplining token budgets with decay rules and cross-platform parity checks.
n8n-decanter: An MCP Guard That Turns Code Nodes Into TypeScript Files
An MCP guard proxy extracts n8n Code node source into typed files in git, blocking the jsCode write while keeping full agent access to structure.
