Modo is an open-source AI IDE that structures coding workflows as prompt → requirements → design → tasks → code, built on the Void editor with multi-provider LLM support and MCP integration. The project demonstrates that core AI IDE capabilities (chat, inline editing, autocomplete, tool use) can be achieved in a fraction of the development time required by commercial alternatives like Cursor or Windsurf.
