Don’t forget Cursor cloud agents. Give a cloud agent a plan and the agent works in the background while you’re away from the laptop. I give them a task on the iPad when I’m at the gym and by the time I’m home there’s a new branch waiting for me. I can’t verify this but somehow I’ve often found the quality of the cloud agents to be better than the desktop ones even on the same model. Can’t be true? But feels that way.

Haha, yeah, those $50 in Opus credits pushed me quite a bit further too while writing this update … It’s really fascinating how fast you can move with a single prompt sometimes – only to suddenly going in circles for 30 minutes for a simple bug. Wild times 😅

I second this wholeheartedly. The community is among the very best out there, and the lack of opinion, the clear structure and the ease of extending make PW a wonderful tool. It's a sad fact that my days of working with ProcessWire are mostly over. My job responsibilities have changed over time, and the demand for wholly integrated cloud systems led my employer to migrate our intranet site with tens of thousands of pages and a lot of advanced functionality to another platform (let's not talk about the manpower needed to do that and the gaps left). There are of course advantages, but I can say that we had a tailored-to-fit solution on a level you don't find often, from ordering breakfast or lunch from local suppliers, over advanced forms connected to HR systems and Active Directory data, providing specialized integrated databases and automated workflows to our departments, to driving technical sales with dynamically generated interlinked views on bills of material, stocks and data sheets pulled directly from SAP. A piece of software more than 60% of 1300 worldwide employees used daily and that ran with 100.0% availability on a single IIS server with only a bit of memcache magic to keep things speedy. Over more than ten years, periodic updates went through with nary a hitch. My heart bleeds a bit. Not working with PW every week also means that I'm not actively using the modules I built anymore. I'll have to go over my little babies one by one, retire those that have been surpassed by better approaches by now and find new pet owners for the others.

tried several of them, including kilo code from NVIDIA (I think) which uses a clean spec-driven workflow. Currently working on my own version of that with prompt templates, verification through hooks and all that good stuff. Spec driven is a good approach, especially for larger features. For small things I'm still using good old chat in claude code.

Visiting https://www.kimi.com/membership/pricing a modal pops up for me and its top part looks like this: To tell the truth, I will probably use it for browser-based prompting, and it shows how many such tasks are still available for that day. For example:

Hi everyone! I've built AiWire — a module that connects ProcessWire to AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, OpenRouter). GitHub: https://github.com/mxmsmnv/AiWire What it does $ai = $modules->get('AiWire'); // Simple call echo $ai->chat('What is ProcessWire?'); // Generate multiple fields at once $ai->generate($page, [ ['field' => 'ai_overview', 'prompt' => "Write overview..."], ['field' => 'ai_seo_meta', 'prompt' => "Generate meta..."], ], ['cache' => 'W']); // Auto-fallback if provider fails $result = $ai->askWithFallback('Translate this...', [ 'provider' => 'anthropic', 'fallbackProviders' => ['openai', 'google'], ]); Main features Multiple API keys per provider with auto-failover Connection testing from admin Interactive Test Chat with parameter controls File cache with TTL (day/week/month/year) Save AI responses to page fields Multi-turn conversations Full docs with 25 real-world examples Requirements PHP 8.1+, ProcessWire 3.0.210+, cURL, and at least one API key. If you try it out, I'd love to hear your feedback — whether the API makes sense, if the docs are clear, or if you run into any issues. Thanks! 🙏

Is anyone going the way of SpecKit, BMAD, Opensec, superpowers?

Yeah, yours feels more like an admin-focused tool for one-shot operations, while mine went in a slightly different direction. Same tree trunk, just one has deeper roots and the other has wilder branches 😄 Honestly, it all started because they gave me $50 in credits for Claude Opus 4.6 and I wanted to test what it could actually build. My very first prompt to it was roughly: “Create a plugin that connects AI to a ProcessWire website, something like the TeleWire you made for Telegram. Use the standard approach, add support for Anthropic, xAI, OpenAI, OpenRouter — so you can add multiple API keys and it clearly shows whether each one is working or not.” …and then, well — «And then Ostap was off» 😂 (That famous line from Ilf & Petrov’s The Twelve Chairs when Ostap Bender gets carried away and can’t stop spinning taller and taller tales.) From that one simple request it just snowballed into the full AiWire module you see now.

Thx! Had him in mind, but forgot to mention him! --- Update from my side: Had AI develop several features for my startup this week. It was fast. And it was good. Real quality code. Or let's say at least faster and better than I would have done it 😄 This is insane. My workflow is currently: Tell cursor to inspect the project and create the rules and skills necessary for agents to do their work Tell it to have a frontend developer for frontend stuff, a backen dev for backend stuff Spin up (multiple) agents and tell them what to do If it's a complex task switch cursor to "PLAN" mode first and check the plan before building Check if everything works Check the git diff If necessary ask for changes commit My learning so far: This is impressive - so far I have always had the opinion that the bigger the task gets the more AI struggles and it's better to do it on your own. I have always been a huge fan of cursor tab, which auto-suggests the next word or 2-3 lines of code, but this is another level! Good results cost money: I've been on my cursor 20$/month plan for a year and thought I was using it heavily... But now I've used 70% of my Opus4.6 quota in only a few days. The cursor pricing page states this at the moment: --> so I'd probably be ok with the 60$ plan or maybe even need the 200$ plan... Are you all spending this amount? I asked perplexity and it seems I can use Anthropic API directly in cursor and it might get cheaper? Any experiences/numbers to share @elabx or others?

Generates a .phpstorm.meta.php file for ProcessWire autocompletion in PhpStorm. Features Autocomplete wire container keys for wire('...') and Wire::wire('...') Autocomplete module names for Modules::get() and Modules::install() Autocomplete field names for Fields::get() Autocomplete template names for Templates::get() Autocomplete unique page names for Pages::get() Autocomplete hookable methods for Wire::addHook*() Autocomplete page status constants/strings for Page::status(), addStatus(), removeStatus(), hasStatus() Autocomplete field flags for Field::addFlag(), removeFlag(), hasFlag() Autocomplete template cache-expire constants for Template::cacheExpire() Autocomplete Inputfield collapsed constants for Inputfield::collapsed() Autocomplete sort flags for WireArray::sort()/sortFlags()/unique() and PageArray::sort()/sortFlags()/unique() Optional: Field type autocompletion per Page class (when enabled in module config) Usage Default path: site/assets/.phpstorm.meta.php (configurable in module settings). The file regenerates automatically when fields, templates, or modules change (debounced). You can manually regenerate from the module settings screen. Optional: enable "Generate page-class field metadata" in module settings for field type hints per Page class. This is intentionally basic. For richer field stubs, use AutoTemplateStubs. Examples Modules $tracy = $modules->get('TracyDebugger'); // Autocomplete + correct class type for navigation and code insight Wire Container $page = wire('page'); $pages = $this->wire('pages'); $cache = wire('cache'); // Autocomplete for keys like page/pages/cache/etc. Fields $body = $fields->get('body'); // Autocomplete field names, fewer typos Templates $tpl = $templates->get('basic-page'); // Autocomplete template names Pages $home = $pages->get('/'); // Maps to the page class when page classes are enabled Page Status $page->status(Page::statusHidden); $page->addStatus('draft'); $page->removeStatus(Page::statusUnpublished); $page->hasStatus('locked'); Field Flags $field->addFlag(Field::flagAutojoin); $field->removeFlag(Field::flagAccess); $field->hasFlag(Field::flagGlobal); Template Cache Expire $template->cacheExpire(Template::cacheExpireParents); Inputfield Collapsed $inputfield->collapsed(Inputfield::collapsedYesAjax); Sort Flags $items->sort('title', SORT_NATURAL | SORT_FLAG_CASE); $items->sortFlags(SORT_NATURAL); $items->unique(SORT_STRING); Page-Class Field Metadata (Optional) $home = $pages->get('/'); // $home is HomePage (page class) // Field types are inferred from the template fieldgroup // e.g. $home->hero_image -> Pageimage or Pageimages depending on field settings Hooks $wire->addHookAfter('Pages::save', function($event) { // Autocomplete hookable methods while typing the hook string }); Notes Hook scanning reads ProcessWire core, modules, and admin templates to build the hook list. If page classes are enabled, page names map to their page class; otherwise they map to Page. Improvement suggestions and PRs are welcome. https://github.com/phlppschrr/ProcessWirePhpStormMeta

Yeah sure. This is how I’m proceeding… Every file is a page and has its own id folder. I guess that part is predictable enough. Crops are simply variations of an image. They are stored in the same id folder with their own unique name. Re. image fields, there’s a custom field which is designed to look and feel like a normal image field, but isn't a regular image field. A user adds images to the image hub field, but they are living, connected references to the source hub. IE the image hub assets are not detached copies. The hub is meant to be the centralised media hub. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be much of a hub. At least that’s how it’s working right now. 🙂

Some more work. Not sure why the images are so fuzzy Image detail page You can edit the usual stuff...Title, Alt, Description, and add Tags etc Some utilities in there too such as Download, Copy URl, Duplicate, Delete If an image has Crop versions they are displayed under the main image Crop versions has thumbs and table view A crop version has a detailed view too Image Crop page There are presets, but you can create your own named crops Save as a crop version or save as a new image. The hardest part is in progress which is A custom Inputfield which allows you to add images from the MediaHub. All while maintaining a connection back to the hub source file. IE it's important that there's no duplication and that the images in the Media Hub are a true source / canonical version Displaying images in the page edit field in a nice consistent way with the existing UI. As much as possible, I want the user to feel like this the core and not some bolt-on with its own CSS. Although I am changing some things… Hope you like! P

It's a bit over a year since I started this post and it's crazy how far AI and cursor got! Huge shoutout to @gebeer who is my main source of wisdom when it comes to AI related stuff 🙂 I wanted to share a video that I watched recently. It is quite lengthy, but I was looking for exactly that to make sure I don't miss any basics. For me it was eye opening, so I wanted to share it: My personal takeaways/learnings: I have thought for a long time that AI is great to read/understand/explain or help me find something in my codebase but for actual coding it's not very helpful most of the time (other than cursor tab, which is awesome!) You can run multiple agents in cursor at once, and you can run multiple models at once, which is crazy The better you setup your environment, the better the results (obviously...) AI can write all your RockPageBuilder blocks with RockMigrations code easily You can actually TALK to cursor in the chat, which is a lot quicker than typing. You can even TALK to it in german and it will translate it to english on the fly, which is crazy. This is just the beginning So the question for me was is it really worth the effort of setting up your environment so that AI does the work for you and then in the end you spend more time debugging than if you just went ahead and coded it from scratch? I'm not sure yet, and I asked that question today @gebeer. He said clearly yes, and my gut said I can imagine he is right, but I did not really experience it myself. Today that changed. I took some time to try a new workflow for a client request. Usually I would have added code by hand, as that's a lot quicker. Why? Because you either start prompting and get bad results or you have to invest a lot of time upfront. But I know how it feels to invest some time upfront and then have superpowers forever 🙂 So I gave it a try and after a quick emergency rescue session with @gebeer I got very good results in actually very little time. And once I started to adopt that workflow it started to make sense more and more and I started to answer the question to myself: Is the effort worth it? Clear answer: YES So I want to encourage everyone to watch the video, try it out, ask for help if you hit any roadblocks. So why do I think it's worth it? Simple example: I asked AI to implement a new RockPageBuilder block. It did the backend for me quickly and easily. Then it did the frontend for me. The frontend needed more time and debugging, but I then added the uikit docs to my project and told cursor to add the docs to my cursor rules/skills/whatever (still confused, but cursor knows what to do). Then results seemed to get even better and it even fixed an issue in a way that I would have never thought of (because I didn't know this option was there). So I even learned something new. Finally I saw an issue in my .latte file, which is quite a common mistake: AI forgot to add |noescape to the {$page->headline} output, which made the headline "Foo & Bar" show up as "Foo & Bar". I guess every latte user knows that problem 🙂 The solution: Tell AI to fix the issue and to also add that info to the frontend-dev skill/rules. That means it will likely never make this mistake again! This is a really powerful approach. I'm quite impressed. And I think I'll need a more expensive subscription soon ^^ Which is one of the downsides. You have been warned! 😄😉 PS: The initial setup is also quite easy. All I did is to talk to cursor: A bit messy instructions and lots of mistakes, but it doesn't matter as long as cursor understands you. I'm quite sure the results are not perfect, but from what I read in the instructions for the AI it's a quite good overview of the project! And it's something to build upon and grow 🙂

This looks great! Any chance you could share a bit more detail on how file storage and file usage in page templates will work? Also wondering if there’ll be a custom field type replacing / extending the core image/file fields.
