Pros

Cosmos — the platform for building an always-on software delivery system, triggered from GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Linear, Jira, and webhooks; Context Engine maps the repo semantically; Prism router assigns work to frontier or open models per task; BYOK for LLM providers; native VS Code and JetBrains extensions.
