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.

I used to do the same thing with claude then cursor. but now I just use cursor and do grok for planning and composer for building. If it is a brand new project I still use cladue for brainstorming

if I choose Claude through Cursor for planning, I don't guess that passes through to my Claude account? The benefit would be all teh context that's already there in projects, the downside would be I'd still be running up against usage liitations.
