What is the best workflow to code with an AI?

Copy and paste the code to the Claude website? Or use an extension? o something else?

Cursor. Mostly chat mode. Usually adding 1-2 extra files to the context before invoking, and selecting the relevant section for extra focus.
I personally use copilot, which is integrated into my IDE, almost identical to this Cursor example.
Copilot is about as far away from Cursor with Claude as the Wright Brothers' glider is to the Saturn V.
Not based on the link, I didn't see anything in that text that I can't do with copilot or which looked better to me than what copilot outputs.
Does Copilot do multi-file edits now?
Copilot Editor is a beta feature that can perform multi-file edits.
