Using Cursor well = fast, clean code. Using it wrong = AI spaghetti you’ll be cleaning up all week. Here’s how to actually use it right: 1. Set 5-10 clear project rules upfront so Cursor knows your structure and constraints. Try /generate rules for existing codebases. 2. Be specific in prompts. Spell out tech stack, behavior, and constraints like a mini spec. 3. Work file by file; generate, test, and review in small, focused chunks. 4.
