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:

  1. Layers to trace. How many indirections sit between the question and the answer.
  2. 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.
