Afrexai Ai Coding Toolkit

# AI Coding Toolkit — Master Every AI Coding Assistant

> The complete methodology for 10X productivity with AI-assisted development. Covers Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and more — tool-agnostic principles that work everywhere.

## Phase 1: Quick Assessment — Where Are You?

Rate yourself 1-5 on each:

| Dimension | 1 (Beginner) | 5 (Expert) |
|---|---|---|
| Prompt quality | "Fix this bug" | Structured context + constraints + examples |
| Context management | Paste entire files | Curated context windows, .cursorrules, AGENTS.md |
| Workflow integration | Ad-hoc usage | Systematic agent-first development |
| Output verification | Accept everything | Review, test, iterate before committing |
| Tool selection | One tool for everything | Right tool for right task |

**Score interpretation:**
- 5-10: Read everything — you'll 10X your output
- 11-18: Skip to Phase 4+ for advanced techniques
- 19-25: Focus on Phase 8-10 for mastery patterns

## Phase 2: Tool Selection Matrix

### Decision Guide: Which AI Coding Tool When?

| Tool | Best For | Context Window | Autonomy Level | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **GitHub Copilot** | Line/function completion, inline suggestions | Current file + neighbors | Low (autocomplete) | $10-19/mo |
| **Cursor** | Full-file editing, multi-file refactors, chat | Project-aware (indexing) | Medium (tab/chat/composer) | $20/mo |
| **Windsurf (Cascade)** | Autonomous multi-step tasks, flows | Project-aware + flows | High (agentic flows) | $15/mo |
| **Cline** | VS Code extension, model-agnostic, transparent | Manual context + auto | High (tool use, browser) | API costs |
| **Aider** | Terminal-based, git-native, pair programming | Repo map + selected files | Medium-High (git commits) | API costs |
| **Claude Code** | CLI agent, complex multi-file tasks | Workspace-aware | High (full agent) | API costs |
| **OpenClaw** | Persistent agent, cron, multi-surface | Workspace + memory + tools | Very High (autonomou...

## What This Skill Does

Turns your AI coding assistant from a fancy autocomplete into a systematic development multiplier. Covers:

- **Tool selection matrix** — which AI tool for which task, with decision tree
- **Context engineering** — the #1 skill for AI code quality (rules files, context management, freshness)
- **SPEC prompt framework** — structured prompts that get 10X better output
- **5 workflow patterns** — TDD-AI, Scaffold→Fill→Review, Conversation Threading, Pair Programming, Autonomous Agent
- **Tool-specific power moves** — Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, Claude Code deep dives
- **Code quality guardrails** — Trust-But-Verify checklist, common AI failures, 3-Read Review
- **Cost optimization** — model routing, token awareness, monthly benchmarks
- **Team adoption playbook** — 3-month rollout plan with guidelines template
- **100-point scoring system** — measure and improve your AI-assisted development

## Install

```bash
clawhub install afrexai-ai-coding-toolkit
```

## Quick Start

1. Tell your agent: "Set up AI coding for my project"
2. It generates a rules file (.cursorrules / CLAUDE.md) tailored to your stack
3. Use the SPEC framework for every prompt
4. Follow the Trust-But-Verify checklist for every AI output
