IDE, agents and guardrails for every dev, ready on day one.
Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, set up correctly with your codebase context, your style guide, and your security boundary. Every engineer productive from week one.
Why this engagement exists.
A 20-engineer team typically goes from cold-start to fluent in 2-3 weeks, because we treat a tooling rollout as a real engineering project, not a licence hand-out. Codebase context wired in (CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules), your conventions encoded, the security boundary documented and enforced, and a hands-on workshop so every dev is productive from week one. The result shows up in shipped work, not in a slide.
Deliverables, not promises.
Every engagement ships these artefacts. Nothing here is fluff. Each item is something your team will hold in their hands at the end.
Tool selection
Benchmarked recommendation across Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Aider, based on your stack + team size.
Codebase context files
CLAUDE.md / .cursorrules / repo-rules tuned to your conventions and architecture.
Custom prompts + commands
Reusable slash commands and prompt templates for your team's most common workflows.
Code review integration
AI-aware PR review with rules tuned to your team's standards.
Team workshop
A one-day hands-on workshop covering setup, workflow patterns, and the discipline that holds it together.
Playbook
A living playbook your team extends, not a static doc that goes stale.
The process, step by step.
No mystery, no consultant theatre. This is how the work actually flows from kickoff to handover.
- Step 1
Tool selection + licensing
Benchmark options against your codebase. Recommendation includes cost, security boundary, team-fit.
- Step 2
Codebase context
Write the context files that give the AI the project background it needs to be useful.
- Step 3
Style + review-rule encoding
Encode the conventions that show up in code review so the AI catches them upfront.
- Step 4
Custom prompts + workflows
Slash commands and prompt templates for the workflows your team runs every day.
- Step 5
Workshop + go-live
A hands-on session so every engineer leaves the day shipping AI-assisted work.
Tool selection lands in week 1, context and commands in week 2, workshop and go-live in week 3. Larger teams run the same playbook in cohorts. After go-live, the productivity gain shows up in PR throughput.
The questions that actually come up.
Depends on stack and budget. We benchmark Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Aider for your team's specific work. There is no universal answer.
