Agentic Workflows for Solo Developers
How I structure multi-agent pipelines in Cursor, Antigravity, and n8n without losing the plot.

Why agentic workflows matter
When you’re a solo developer running a studio, the bottleneck isn’t typing speed — it’s context switching. Agentic workflows let you delegate research, scaffolding, and repetitive refactors while you stay in architectural control.
My stack
| Tool | Role |
|---|---|
| Cursor | Primary IDE with skills and rules |
| Antigravity | Multi-agent orchestration for complex builds |
| n8n | Production automations and webhooks |
The pattern
- Directive first — write a one-page agent brief before opening the IDE
- Skill libraries — maintain reusable SKILL.md files for recurring tasks
- Verification gate — every agent output runs through
npm run buildbefore merge - Human checkpoint — I review architecture decisions; agents handle implementation detail
Lessons learned
- Smaller, focused agents outperform one mega-prompt
- File structure conventions matter more when agents share a repo
- Always version your skills alongside your code
