Conflicts & caveats

• Plandex is a terminal-first CLI and is not designed to run inside the Replit web IDE.
• Replit has its own built-in AI Agent — external integrations like Plandex cannot run inside the Replit web IDE.
• Plandex does not officially support Xcode. Use GitHub Copilot for Xcode or Direct API.
• Plandex has limited or no official Android Studio support. Use GitHub Copilot or JetBrains AI Assistant.
• Void Editor is BYO-API-key first — Plandex runs as an extension on top, which can work but isn't the intended Void workflow.
• Lapce has a small plugin ecosystem; Plandex may not have an official plugin yet.
• Positron is VS Code-based but tuned for R/Python data science — Plandex may install but is not officially supported.
• Plandex does not officially support RStudio — use direct API calls or the rstudio.cloud Copilot integration.
• Plandex does not officially support Spyder — use the direct API.
• Cursor Mobile only runs Cursor-managed agents and background tasks — local-only integrations like Plandex cannot run on the phone.
• Plandex does not officially support Eclipse — Copilot, Tabnine, and Codeium are the main supported options.
• Plandex does not officially support Apache NetBeans — Copilot and Tabnine are the main supported options.
• @codebase (Cursor) only works with Cursor built-in integration (yours is Plandex).
• Continue's codebase indexing only works when the integration is Continue.dev (yours is Plandex).
• Windsurf codebase indexing only works with Windsurf Cascade integration (yours is Plandex).
• Aider architect mode requires the Aider integration (yours is Plandex).
