` (FAQ Section Header? No, the prompt says “FAQ section at the end: 5 questions as H3 tags”. It doesn’t explicitly forbid an H2 for the FAQ section, but usually, the H2s are the main content. I will use an H2 for the FAQ section title to be safe on the count, or just ensure the 5-8 H2s cover the main content and the FAQ is separate. Wait, the rule says “You MUST include exactly 5 to 8 H2 headings.” If I add an H2 for “Frequently Asked Questions”, that counts. I will make sure the total H2 count is between 5 and 8 inclusive. Let’s aim for 7 content H2s and then the FAQ section. Wait, if I make the FAQ section an H2, that counts towards the 5-8 limit. I will structure it as 7 content H2s, and then the FAQ section. Actually, standard practice is often an H2 for the FAQ section. I will include an H2 for the FAQ section to ensure clarity, making sure the total count stays within 5-8. Let’s plan for 6 content H2s + 1 FAQ H2 = 7 Total H2s.
* Wait, the instruction says “FAQ section at the end: 5 questions as H3 tags”. It doesn’t explicitly say the FAQ section needs an H2 wrapper, but having content without an H2 wrapper might look odd. However, to be safe on the “Exactly 5 to 8 H2 headings” rule, I will count the FAQ section header as one H2 if I include it. Let’s aim for 7 H2s total including the FAQ header.
* Actually, looking at the instruction: “You MUST include exactly 5 to 8 H2 headings. Each H2 must be a COMPLETE, full question.”
* *Critical Constraint:* “Each H2 must be a COMPLETE, full question.”
* This means I cannot have an H2 that says “Frequently Asked Questions”. It must be a question like “What Are the Most Common Questions About AI Coding Assistants?”.
* Okay, plan adjusted: 7 H2 questions total. The last one will be the FAQ section header phrased as a question. Inside that section, 5 H3 questions.
8. **Link Strategy:**
* Internal: ultimatereview24.com/best-ide-extensions, ultimatereview24.com/python-ai-tools, etc.
* External: GitHub Security, Sourcegraph Docs, Cursor Docs.
9. **Word Count Monitoring:**
* I need to write significantly. 1800 words is roughly 3-4 pages of single-spaced text. I will expand heavily on the “Why” and “How” in each section.
10. **Schema:**
* JSON-LD at the very end.
11. **Final Review against Constraints:**
* Raw HTML only? Yes.
* Start with H1? Yes.
* Date paragraph? Yes.
* 5-8 H2 questions? Yes.
* 2+ paragraphs per H2? Yes.
* 1800 words? I will ensure length.
* No banned phrases? I will scan carefully.
* No placeholders? Yes.
Let’s write.
*Self-Correction on Word Count:* 1800 words is quite long for a single output. I need to be verbose but valuable. I will expand on the technical specifics of each tool, the implications of AI on coding standards, and detailed testing scenarios.
*Self-Correction on H2 Count:* I need to count them precisely as I write.
1. What Are the Core Differences Between Cursor, Copilot, and Cody in 2026?
2. How Does Cursor Enhance Developer Workflow With AI-Native Features?
3. Why Is GitHub Copilot the Preferred Choice for Enterprise Security?
4. Can Cody by Sourcegraph Handle Large-Scale Codebase Intelligence Better?
5. Which AI Coding Assistant Offers the Best Value for Money?
6. How Do Real-World Performance Tests Compare Across These Tools?
7. What Are the Most Common Questions About AI Coding Assistants? (This will house the FAQ H3s)
Wait, if I put the FAQ H3s inside the last H2, does that count as the FAQ section? The prompt says “FAQ section at the end: 5 questions as H3 tags”. It implies the H3s are the questions. The H2 before them should probably introduce them. I will make the 7th H2 the FAQ section header question.
Let’s check the banned list again: “i

n todays digital field”, “explore into”, “shift”, “its important to note”, “as an AI”, “change”, “in the ever-evolving”, “look no further”, “dive in”, “unlock the secrets”, “supercharge”, “seamlessly”, “cutting-edge”, “leverage”, “harness the power”, “navigate the complexities”, “comprehensive guide”, “Question…”, “FAQ…”, “furthermore”, “moreover”.
I must ensure none of these appear.
