💰Cursor ($20/mo) + GitHub Copilot ($10/mo) is the only real spend. Linear and Vercel scale on free tiers for solo developers.

⚡Each tool owns a distinct phase — spec, code, refactor, review, deploy — with no overlap.

Step-by-step guide

Spec and plan in Linear

Linear30 min

Write user stories and break features into Linear issues. Use Linear's AI to auto-generate subtasks from a single feature prompt.

Heat score:20Cooling Down

💡Use Linear's AI decomposition to turn a vague feature into 5-8 specific tasks

💡Link every issue to a milestone to keep scope visible as you ship

✓Output: Prioritized issue board with acceptance criteria per task

Code with Cursor AI

Cursor2–4 h/day

Open the repo in Cursor and use Cursor Composer to write full features from your Linear spec. Use Tab to accept multi-line completions and Ctrl+K for inline edits.

Heat score:11Fading

💡Use @codebase to give Cursor full repo context before complex changes

💡Pin the Linear issue as a sticky note in Cursor to keep the spec visible

✓Output: Working feature branch with tests passing

Refactor with Claude Code

Claude Code1–2 h

Use Claude Code for multi-file refactors, complex bug investigations, and architectural decisions that span the whole codebase.

Heat score:54Cooling Down

💡Claude Code handles 10+ file changes well — ideal for refactors Cursor misses

💡Ask it to explain its plan before making changes on risky refactors

✓Output: Clean, refactored code with inline explanations

Write and review the PR

GitHub Copilot20 min

GitHub Copilot drafts your PR description and suggests inline code review comments. Review and merge when checks pass.

Heat score:57Rising

💡Use Copilot Chat to summarize the diff in plain English before committing

💡Enable Copilot code review on the PR for a second pass

✓Output: Pull request with clear description linked to Linear issue

Deploy with Vercel

Vercel5 min (automated)

Vercel auto-deploys on merge to main. Every PR gets a preview URL for stakeholder review before merge.

Heat score:81Rising

💡Share preview URLs with non-technical stakeholders before merging

💡Use Vercel environment variable groups to manage staging vs production config cleanly

✓Output: Live deployment with instant rollback available
