The full competitive gap analysis for AIDE's workflow / orchestrator / architecture, ordered by leverage × effort. Use when planning workflow features; when comparing AIDE to Cursor/VS Code/Claude Code/Cline/Aider/Windsurf; when designing subagents, hooks, custom modes, or auto-memory; when triaging what to ship next. Born 2026-08-28 from Cursor/VS Code/Claude Code/Cline/Aider/Windsurf/Replit research, focused on what AIDE does NOT have that every rival converges on.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Workflow + Orchestrator + Architecture — Gap Roadmap

Born 2026-08-28: a competitive audit of AIDE's workflow surface vs.
Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Cline, Aider, Windsurf, Replit.
Result: 6 gaps ranked by leverage × effort. Three are doctrinal
(no code, just skills) and three are engineering (need real work).
This skill is the canonical prioritization for the next 3-6 months.

## Research base (verified 2026-08-28)

Web research summary, see AGENT_NOTES 2026-08-28 for full
extraction. The 7 rivals all converge on the same architectural
table-stakes:

- Plan/Act mode (every rival)
- Subagents / task delegation (every rival except Aider — Aider
  uses architect+editor instead)
- Persistent memory across sessions (every rival)
- Hooks (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Cline)
- MCP (every rival except Aider)
- Custom modes / harnesses (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Cline,
  Windsurf)
- Plan approval card (every rival)
- Checkpoints / rollback (every rival)
- Background tasks (Cursor, Claude Code, Replit, Windsurf)
- Permissions / approval (every rival)
- Architect→Editor split (Aider — and the principle is the same
  one in the others, just hidden)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/aide-workflow-gap-roadmap@sha256:db4422eaee7fad6b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.cc64d85, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
