@florin_dev anything in particular?

@poteto I'd love to know your pstack setup :D

@LuxVeritasAeter yup will have a few

@poteto I would love if it had multiple successful examples.

alright im gonna write a new post on tackling big migrations and refactors by yourself

@luisdepombo promise! x.com/poteto/status/…

@poteto Just don’t have AI write it

@MountainsGuy1 i always do my writing by hand. writing is thinking and i don't want to outsource that!

@poteto Have your agent do it.. duh 😂

@mweinbach let me know what you think! easiest way to get started: - run /setup-pstack and choose which models you want - use /poteto-mode whenever you’re doing anything that requires rigor that’s it! the other skills are more situational, the mode skill uses them for you as needed

@poteto I'll try it!

Cursor with GPT 5.6 Sol is an absolute beast Would love to have it delegate Grok 4.5 subagents to do work honestly, that could be killer

@dagostpro @cursor_ai lmk what you think, i use it all the time

@poteto @cursor_ai Need to try /arena

so many exciting new models launching this week! so nice that you can use them all in @cursor_ai if you're feeling rich you can get an /arena (from pstack) across fable, sol, and grok 4.5 to work on your hardest hardest tasks

@cursor_ai cursor.com/marketplace/cu… github.com/cursor/plugins…

Good review of Grok 4.5

@fredrikalindh 💀

finally got cursor's first elongated model

@stanzillaz if you run /setup-pstack with your own models that won't get changed, so you can run it again later when Grok 4.5 is available in EU!

@poteto Grok is not available to me yet, guess I should wait for before I fumble up all the settings with reroutes, yeah?

updated pstack to use grok 4.5 github.com/cursor/plugins…

@jessethanley it should update automatically!

@poteto If we have it installed via plugin anything we have to do to get updates?

@jessethanley we have something coming soon that should make this easier!

Now we're good.

Okay so here is my take after merging in ~12 PRs from Grok 4.5 via @cursor_ai into @Bento this morning: It is good and safe to setup as default but only if you have guardrails/not default harness setup. This is the first model from Grok/Cursor you can use for day to day coding, as you were with Opus or GPT 5.5, but you have to have your harness spec'd out to keep it focused and on task. For Cursor users, this means installing @poteto pstack and using the skills to kick off agents ("/poteto-mode build X feature"). If you do that it crushes just as the other models do. If you don't it loses the plot. Example from a PR this morning: customer reported an issue with a timezone picker (kyiv/kiev). With /poteto-mode (pstack): 1 file change, a few lines. Worked. Without skills: 15 file changes, dedicated Bento::Kyiv classes (????), just a mess. Worked but absolute slop. I also find that it has a habit of refactoring aggressively which is sometimes nice but can be annoying as often I just want very targeted fixes. Again, spending time on skills and playbooks seems to be the key to making this model work and stopping it from doing this. I also imagine the ponytail project would also help here greatly. It also says "code judo" a lot. TAKEAWAY: Spend 1 hour today playing with pstack or learning what it is and making your own version then use Grok 4.5 day to day!

Grok 4.5 launched today. It displays frontier-level shell discipline, chaining Bash commands and filtering their outputs more frequently than any other model tested.

@mikhailmits definitely

@poteto better than composer in your opinion?

it's fast, cheap, and good. first of many more!
