1. Pick the most complete project boilerplate (fullstack JS can easily introduce security bugs, SPA + API is best as cheap linting solves most problems)
2. Project skills (how to CRUD without mess)
3. Use worktrees for concurrent features, local session for conflicts
4. Local session for QA and refinement
I use Copilot and GPT 5.4
Managed to shorten pre-AI priced ongoing projects to 2 weeks or a month
