Cheapest paid IDE agent

Get unlimited completions plus an agent for the price of a lunch.

Starter prompt

Explain this codebase's structure in 10 lines, then implement <small feature> with a test.

Config

AGENTS.md

- Prefer small diffs.
- Ask before adding dependencies.
- Run the linter after edits.

Setup steps

  1. Pick one editor.
  2. Add AGENTS.md.
  3. Use the agent for small features; completions for the rest.

Why this works

Both plans cost under $10 and cover most day-to-day coding.

Watch out

Cursor Plus doesn't include third-party models (Claude, GPT); you need Premium ($30) and prepaid credit for those.
