Using Cursor daily

AI

Recently I've been using Cursor as my daily code editor. And asking it questions about my existing code or create whole new code is such a breeze.

In current version you also have concepts like:

  1. Cursor Rules
  2. MCP

Cursor rules

Think of these rules as 'pre' prompts. Things to make sure Cursor takes into account when doing 'something' for you.

I've been trying to document how I want my themes to look like, things like filenames and directory structure. This works pretty good! I am training it to do things I normally manually do. Like copying an existing piece of code, and then adjust it. But now I can just prompt cursor to make me a new 'section' and it uses my example and setup! This is amazing.

There is actually a good website with neat examples for all kinds of work, called cursor.directory

MCP

So Cursor MCP is another feature. This is still a bit vague to me, but there are things like a docker MCP; It can then do commands, create containers, read logs and what not. I watched this Youtube video and learned alot!

Conclusion

So right now my goal is to start defining lots of cursor rules that will enable me to quickly do things I would normally do manually.

I think this would make me faster in boilerplating my themes and doing it the way I like it! I like it! 🤓

And in the future I might be able to prompt it with a design (image or figma) and let it do my work xD
