Subtract Before You Add

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.

When evolving a system, remove complexity first, then build. Deletion gives you a simpler base, which makes the next addition smaller and less brittle.

Why: Adding to a complex system compounds complexity. Removing first cuts the surface area, reveals the essential structure, and usually makes the next design obvious. Default to subtraction.
