Minimize Reader Load
Uni-pstack Runtime Adapter
This is a portable port of upstream Cursor pstack. Apply these overrides before following the original workflow:
- Cursor Task or subagent calls mean Codex delegation. In Codex, use native Codex subagents. In Claude Code, launch Codex CLI workers using the installed pstack skill spawn-codex-worker script or direct codex exec.
- Replace upstream Composer, Claude Opus, and other panel defaults with Codex gpt-5.6-sol and task-appropriate reasoning: medium for routine implementation and exploration; high for judgment, synthesis, and high-risk work. Use the supported fast or priority tier.
- Claude-only fallback model policy lives in the installed pstack delegation reference. Do not infer Claude model choices from this skill.
- Cursor-only commands such as loop, babysit, deslop, control-ui, and control-cli are conceptual cues. Use the host terminal, browser, review, subagent, and git tools directly.
- Cursor paths become host-appropriate project or user configuration paths. Preserve the workflow intent, not Cursor-specific storage.
Maintainability is the work a reader must do to understand code. Track two axes:
- Layers to trace. How many indirections sit between the question and the answer.
- State to hold. How much hidden or mutable context the reader must keep in their head.
Why: Code is read far more than it is written. LOC, cyclomatic complexity, and "clean architecture" are proxies. Reader load is the thing that matters. The two axes are independent. A flat file with 50 globals can be as hard to reason about as a 6-layer adapter stack. Guard both. This is the human analog of Guard the Context Window: working memory is finite for readers too.
