EXPLYT / FIELD NOTES
Practical stories about code quality and speed, product updates, and engineering perspectives from the team building an IDE-native AI agent.
Explyt Team24 Sept 20267 min readExplyt 5.20 collects terminal commands, run configurations, and subagents in one background task panel, adds macOS, Windows, and Linux system notifications, frees Memory Bank space in two stages, and removes brief interface freezes.
Live sessions from the Explyt team for senior Java and Kotlin developers: how to get predictable results from AI coding agents in JetBrains IDEs. Every webinar comes with written notes and an extended guide.
Explyt webinar notes: three context anti-patterns, SDD + TDD in six steps, review loops with a hard stop, subagents, git worktrees, a 30-minute setup.
Sergey Pospelov18 min readSergey Pospelov's full session, 28 September 2026: three context anti-patterns, SDD + TDD, review loops with a hard stop, subagents, and the live demo in IntelliJ IDEA.
Every diagram from the webinar, the task-01.md spec example, the review-loop prompts and the 30-minute setup checklist on one page.

Explyt Team7 min readGreen tests and a clean linter don't prove you understand the code. Comprehension debt shows up in a month, and no amount of checks pays it back.
Explyt Team8 min readThe author wants to ship at generation speed. The CTO ships at comprehension speed. The CTO is right — and the gap only grows.
Explyt Team5 min readDevelopers paste logs into the chat while the agent runs only git. Why that relay filters the evidence, and what direct access needs.
Yurii Kostyukov13 min readExplyt 5.19 opens subscription minutes to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, OpenCode, and Kilo Code through an OpenAI-compatible gateway, fixes the context indicator, and renews MCP server tokens automatically.
Explyt Team8 min readOne Kafka symptom, many defects, one invariant about async TID processing. What our agent did, what it missed, and why the debugger matters.
Yurii Kostyukov9 min readAI coding agents in JetBrains IDEs report commits, files and green builds that never happened. Documented cases, the mechanisms behind them, and the one-minute checks that catch each one.
Yurii Kostyukov14 min readGeneration got faster, delivery didn't. Time moved into requirements, verification, security and release, where humans bottleneck.

BYOK
What impressed me most is how well the agent understands the existing project. Its plans fit naturally into what is already built, even when I am working outside my usual tech stack.
Senior Analyst Developer · DXC Technology
LSP gives an agent coordinates; the full IDE gives it the project model. That native IDE context makes all the difference on real Java code.
Software Architect & AI Board Lead · Siemens
IDE-native stepping makes the difference on stateful Java applications.
