Claude Code
Orchestrator + long-context coder. Multi-file refactors, planning, running every other tool.
Pre-recorded masterclass · 90 min
One tool is not enough. Five working together is.
The real stack is five tools wired together. Claude Code as the orchestrator, plus four specialists. The exact setup, what each does best, and the handoff pattern that makes them feel like one workflow.

“We now use 5 builds from DevLaunch”
The premise
Every "just use one tool" setup plateaus.
Each of these tools is excellent at one thing and mediocre at the others. The win isn't picking the right one. It's wiring them together so each does what it's actually good at.
- Claude alone: great planner. Slow when you just want a 3-line inline edit.
- Cursor alone: fast inline edits. Loses the plot on multi-file refactors.
- One model alone: every model has a local maximum. Without a second opinion, you never see it.
- Just grep: fast lookups. No semantic context, no understanding of intent.
- No MCP: your assistant has no way to see your CRM, your docs, your tools.
The five layers
What each tool does best.
02
Cursor
Inline edits in the editor. Tab-complete on steroids, mid-file rewrites, fast iteration.
03
Codex CLI
Second model · second opinion. Independent review, alternate solutions, breaking out of Claude's local maximum.
04
Codebase search
Navigation & retrieval. Finding the right file fast. Semantic plus grep hybrid.
05
MCP servers
The glue between everything. Bridging Claude into your CRM, files, APIs, internal tools.
06
The handoff pattern
Where one tool ends, the next picks up. The prompts and configs that make five tools feel like one workflow.

Your instructor
Taught by Aaron Rountree
Aaron builds software and runs his own business with the tools he teaches. DevLaunch is where he records the work: client portals, content systems, AI employees, and the workflows that hold them together.
You see how the pieces fit, so you can use the same approach on your own projects.
The handoff pattern
Where one tool ends, the next picks up.
The stack only pays off if the tools hand off cleanly. Five concrete transitions, with the prompts and configs that make them feel like one workflow instead of five tabs.
- Cursor → Claude Code
Hand off to Claude when the change touches more than 2 files.
- Claude Code → Codex CLI
Second-opinion review with a different model before merging.
- Claude Code → Codebase search
Spawn Explore sub-agent to find the exact files before editing.
- Claude Code → MCP servers
Pull live data from your CRM, docs, or APIs. No copy paste.
- Any tool → Claude Code (review)
Independent /review pass before commit. Catches what the writer missed.

Questions
Before you join.
Is this live or recorded?
Pre-recorded and on demand. Watch when you want, re-watch when you need. Lifetime replay.
Which tools exactly are covered?
Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI (a second model for independent review), a codebase search specialist, and MCP servers as the glue. The class covers the role each plays and exactly how to hand off between them.
Do I need all five tools to benefit?
No. The class walks through what each tool does best, so if you can only run two of them, you'll still know which two and how to use them together.
Is this just five tool tutorials stitched together?
No. The first chapter and last two chapters are about the system. Why one tool plateaus, how the handoff pattern works, and a demo of all five working as one workflow. The tool-specific chapters are deep, but the system is the point.
Will this still be useful in six months?
The specific tool names will shift. They always do. The handoff pattern won't. The framework lets you swap any tool for its successor without rethinking your workflow.

Stop hopping tools. Start orchestrating them.
