Cursor Best Practices

Best practices for working with Cursor to maximize productivity and code quality.

Core Principles

  • Start with plans - Use Plan Mode (Shift+Tab) for complex tasks
  • Manage context effectively - Let agent find context, start new conversations when needed
  • Extend the agent - Use Rules for static context, Skills for dynamic capabilities
  • Review carefully - AI-generated code needs review like human code

Key Workflows

  • Test-driven development - Write tests first, iterate until passing
  • Codebase understanding - Use agent to explore and learn codebases
  • Git workflows - Automate common git operations with commands
  • Parallel agents - Run multiple agents simultaneously for comparison
