The best way to do agentic development in 2026

Chandler on January 23, 2026

TLDR; I tried Claude Code, switched to OpenCode + Oh-My-Code, then finally switched to Conductor + Claude Code + Lots of Plugins and Skills. ...

Conductor is nice but I feel it lacks a bit of character and there’s no side by side view of agents and only 2 supported.

We have built acepe.dev

Supports Claude code, codex, open code, cursor and GitHub copilot.

Different views like
side by side, kanban, by project, single

Has a clearer color coding and in general more features for developers

It’s open sourse and quite fresh.. let me know if you guys think

Honestly this mirrors my setup almost exactly. Superpowers changed how I use Claude Code, especially the planning and skills system How do you handle context when switching between worktrees on Conductor though? Do you lose track between sessions?

The LLM never looses track, I however sometimes do. Generally I try to do groups of related issues in parallel so my personal context doesn't switch too often and throw me off.

How does this best case setup compare to Google antigravity?

Its mostly personal preference, I prefer this since Opus 4.6 is the best model available for general coding tasks, and I also quite like GPT-5.3-Codex as well (which is also supported).

I have been convinced to try the conductor flow. I wanted to get back into planning with github issues and this seems like a really nice way to keep track of them.

is it trains or music?
