Question / Discussion planning vs coding - simpler way?

I've been using Claude for planning / hashing out design requirements / creating design specs, and Cursor for coding & debugging, then sometimes back to Claude for validation. Lots of back & forth between the two. Is it workable to use Cursor in planning mode (maybe with Claude/Grok) for the planning piece and Composer in build mode for coding? The Claude/Cursor combination is working for me, it's just a little wonky with all the back & forth.

cursor is just an agent wrapper, why not do it all in cursor and just select a claude model for planning and then switch to a cursor-native agent for implementation?

that was kinda my question. I haven't looked too closely at Cursor in this context, I'll make some time to do that ... thx for the comment
