How does the scoring work?
Each answer option adds weighted points to the 6 stack candidates (Claude Code only, Claude Code + Cursor, Cursor only, Copilot only, Cursor + Copilot, All three). The stack with the highest total wins. Ties go to the stack with fewer tools, so solo setups beat combinations unless the combination clearly dominates. Your full score breakdown is shown below the recommendation.
Why these three tools and not others?
Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot are the three largest AI-coding surfaces as of 2026-04. The quiz focuses on choices most readers actually face. If you use a different tool (Windsurf, Continue, Cody, Aider, etc.), the closest mapping is usually Cursor (for IDE-forks) or Claude Code (for CLI agents).
Does my answer data leave the page?
No. The quiz runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are stored only in localStorage on your device. The shareable link encodes your 8 answers into the URL — no server round-trip, no analytics, no cookies.
How do I compare two stacks side by side?
Open the comparison page linked from your result: Claude Code vs Cursor, Copilot vs Claude Code, or Copilot vs Cursor. Each page has a capability matrix, pricing snapshot, and a "when to pick which" decision guide.
Can I use more than one tool?
Yes, and it's common. Claude Code + Cursor is the highest-leverage combination for polyglot developers: Claude Code handles long-context agentic work (refactors, test loops, CI triage), Cursor handles IDE-side editing (inline diffs, file-aware chat). Copilot adds Tab-to-accept inline completion — useful on top of either. The quiz will recommend a combination stack when your answers cluster that way.
I got a stack I didn't expect. What now?
Retake with different answers — the quiz is deterministic, so changing one answer changes the score. Use the comparison pages to sanity-check the recommendation against your actual constraints. And: the best AI tool is the one you'll actually use every day. Start with the recommended primary, add a second if you hit its ceiling.
