+For the budget-question mapping, invoke installed Setup in each real host and execute only step 3. Supply a current recorded budget and a request to select a new one. Stop before provider probes, confirmation, or writes. Expect the four budget labels, the current budget, and a question through an available native tool or plain text when the tool is unavailable. Capture the loaded Setup body and actual native events. An unresolved budget must not change assignments or trigger probes. This bounded dialogue does not prove full setup, provider access, or persistence.

 Pstack helps you build a repo where agents follow the engineering practices you’d expect from a human teammate: understand the codebase, investigate problems, make deliberate design choices, review changes, and verify that they work. `poteto-mode` coordinates that process, and a repo-specific verification skill gives agents a way to test real features. That lets you move faster and run more work in parallel without supervising every step.
 
-Unlike Cursor’s original Pstack, which is limited to models available through Cursor, Open Pstack lets you [assign providers and models by role](#1-set-up-the-models) using your own provider subscriptions—so exploration, implementation, and review can each use a different provider and model. This cross-provider ability also comes with automatic failover when a worker hits a quota limit or a supported provider failure.
+Cursor’s original Pstack now supports Cursor and Claude Code. This distribution keeps one shared skill tree for Codex and Claude Code and lets you [assign providers and models by role](#1-set-up-the-models) using your own provider subscriptions. Exploration, implementation, and review can each use a different provider and model, with automatic recovery through your approved backup chains.

+- **Cursor’s original Pstack** is Lauren Tan’s engineering workflow for Cursor, with an [official generated Claude Code package](https://github.com/cursor/plugins/tree/182f2ce414e83224915c190d2f63239c1608d0a5/harness/pstack/claude-code). Its Claude adapter runs non-Claude model assignments on the session model and does not configure role assignments through `setup-pstack`.
 - **Eric Litman’s Open Pstack** brings those workflows to Codex and Claude Code, with Claude, Codex, and Grok workers. It provides the foundation for this distribution.
 - **This distribution** adds Devin, Cursor, Antigravity, and OpenCode CLI workers, subscription-aware model recommendations, setup that checks only the providers you select, and automatic recovery through your approved backup chains. It tracks Cursor directly and publishes its own tested releases, without waiting for Eric’s port to incorporate changes.
