Personal workflows

Discussions

I’m interested to see what other people are using as their “workflows” these days.

I subscribe to Cursor Pro (not Ultra), and have tweaked my workflow to cope with various limitations. (These are mostly about context window size, rather than price.)

So, my workflow looks like:

  1. Go to Trello, pick a ticket to work on
  2. Go to Jules, and get that starting work on the ticket
  3. Go back to Trello, pick a second ticket to work on that I believe won’t overlap with the first
  4. Go to Jules, and get that starting working on the second ticket
  5. Go back to Trello… third ticket…. Jules :slight_smile: I find that three concurrent is about the sweet spot for my personal “context window”….
  6. By the time the third Jules VM is working away, the first is typically ready to look at, so I ask Jules to push that as a new branch to github…
  7. Github triggers our CI on pushes (for things like linting, unit tests, copy-paste detection, etc), so I look atany errors that the CI picks up, and paste those error messages back into Jules as a new prompt on that Jules task
  8. Once it’s passed CI, I create a Github PR, but don’t yet assign it to anyway. This kicks off a Gemini Code Review
  9. Then I pull the branch down to my laptop (with Cursor), fire up the docker stack, and test.
  10. Anything I come up with in testing normally gets thrown at Cursor to resolve.
  11. If I’ve resolved anything in Cursor, I close the original PR, then push, and then open a new PR (to trigger a new Gemini review)
  12. Once I’m happy, assign someone to do a human review
  13. Repeat for the second and third tickets
  14. When all three are done, start again. I found that works better than trying to keep a constant pipeline of three tasks.

I ought to note that I work for a development shop, and sometimes the three different tasks will be from different clients’ projects… but mostly they’ll be three tickets from the same client.

And I found that the combination of Jules doing first drafts and fix problems the CI finds, followed by Cursor to debug works well for me.

… and I’ve skipped lots of “drag the ticket right in Trello” steps :slight_smile:

How do other people work?
