Good to know. I've heard great things about Context7, but haven't experimented with it yet.

As in the download itself didn't happen when you clicked the download button, or the installation failed?

Cool, I hadn't heard of Traycer. That does look quite similar!

Completely agree. I basically built Runner to codify the process I was already using manually with Claude Code and Gemini. A lot of developers seem to be settling on a similar workflow, so I'm betting that something like Runner or Traycer will be useful for a lot of devs.

I'll be curious to see how far the existing players like Cursor push in this direction.

I agree that's a major problem. It's not something I've solved yet. I suspect a web research sub-agent is likely what's needed, so it can pull in up-to-date docs for whatever library you need to work with.

Gemini is required for the context management sub-agent. You can use any of OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini for the main planning and coding agents, but GPT-5 performs the best in my experience. Claude 4 Sonnet works well too, but it's about twice as expensive.
