Which AI tools I use and why.
Harnesses:
Codex, Claude Code, Opencode + Maki (with OpenCode Go, uses DeepSeek V4 Flash and GLM 5.2):
I change between those agents on terminal depending on token limit and tasks,. Codex is best overall, I prefer fast older models.
Skills:
I maintain my own set of skills, often on how to use lightweight CLIs.
MCPs:
I use MCPs for my Laravel apps mostly.
Other:
QuiverAI for vector graphics, like vectorizing a sketch or creating logos. Close runner up: Recraft.AI
OpenRouter for trying out new models and batch operations.
