Cursor/Windsurf cheat code.

{Provide detailed context about your coding project}

It will minimize 85% of AI hallucinations and errors.

Here's how you can do it using ChatGPT: 1. Project Requirements Document.

Ask AI to write a PRD (for AI coding model) about your project.

It should include these sections.
- App overview
- User flow
- Tech stack & APIs
- Core features
- In-scope and out-of-scope

To make it air tight add these too:
- Non-functional requirements
- Constraints & assumptions
- Known issues & potential pitfalls

This doc will provide high level overview to Cursor/Windsurf

English language as a coding language now

Thanks to AI code.

There are 5 steps in AI coding:
- plan
- prompt
- scaffold
- debug
- deploy

You don't need to be a technical developer to code with AI.

Here's your Zero-to-Hero Guide on AI coding. AI coding works with 2 main engines.

Windsurf might take over Cursor AI in few months.

Designed to be simple and intuitive—ideal for beginners.

I'd rate Windsurf 7.5/10 and Cursor 8/10, so margins are very bleak.

But it is getting better with each new update.

Here's how you can use Windsurf to build your first SaaS: 1. You need to Generate PCD {Project Coding Docs}

This step is vital, you need to provide deep context about your project.

What is your app about?
Tech stack?
App flow?
Backend?
APIs used?
etc

If you don't build a context boundary around AI models, it messes up your codebase

I've coded 33 projects in last 5 moths.

without writing a single line of code.

I am about to share my AI coding workflow with you for FREE: 🧵

(Bookmark this for future use) 1st thing: Understand what is AI coding.

Turn any AI Model into Reasoning Model with Deepseek r1 <thinking> Architecture.

Models like GPT4o and Sonnet 3.5 are Implementation Models

But a new breakthrough with Deepseek can make them a Reasoning model.

Here's a step-by-step Explanation:
🧵 Deepseek r1 is an open source AI model competing against o1 model of OpenAI.

Which is the Top-Notch Reasoning Model.

How Reasoning Models work?
User message → Chain of Thought steps → Output

The CoT step is the main difference right now between r1 and o1

An Open Source AI model {Deepseek r1} launched 72 hours ago.

This Chinese AI model just broke the internet.

People are running r1 model on:
- self hosted servers
- mobile phones
- raspberry pi
- mac books

Complete step-by-step guide on Cursor:
🧵 Let's start with basics: How AI coding works?

We prompt AI model in plain english and they turn our request into code.

The better the instructions the better the code!

To create detailed instructions we use AI to write us detailed project development documentation.

This step is very important and can't be skipped if you want to build production-ready application.

Bolt .new Prompting Handbook:
🧵 1. Use "Enhance prompt" button

Your prompt quality makes a huge difference in AI output.

Provide as much details as you can in the input field, then click on "enhance prompt" button.

A detailed and will structured prompt can help you save tokens and time with less errors.

Cursor Prompting HandBook:
🧵 1. "Fix Errors" Prompt

AI models like Sonnet 3.5 can overlook important details sometimes and that triggers a loop of errors.

Use this prompt below to fix that issue.

This will help AI to analyze the caore cause of the error and then create a step by step plan to fix error.

Code your Dream Project with AI

Use tools like:
- Cursor to code complex projects.
- bolt, lovable to code websites, micro SaaS.
- v0 lovable to code frontend screens

Step by Step Guide to code your first software with AI:
(Bookmark this for future use) First of all, you need to understand how AI coding works.

We have amazing LLM models like Claude Sonnet 3.5 that can write high quality code (based on instructions) in any famous coding language.

It can help you build:
- web apps
- mobile apps
- browser extentions
- downloadable software
- landing pages or websites

You name a use case, AI models are now able to code that.

Here's the Master Trick to work with Cursor and Windsurf.

It will remove 80% of AI hallucinations and 60% less code errors.

You need to create a 'Documentation" folder in the root directory.

Then you need to attach all your project docs to that folder

Let me explain.... Models like GPT4o and Claude Sonnet 3.5 are "implementation" models.

They can follow the the instructions and go from point A to point B.

But they are nott good enough to reason, think and map out the next steps.

That's why when we don't give proper context about our project, the models start to hallucinate and mess up the codebase.

I've consulted 20+ CEOs in last 4 months.

They are all inesting big bucks on AI Tech.

Here're all the in-demand product requests from big companies:

Sharing all my notes.
🧵 1. Voice agents
Companies spend alteast 20% of resources on customer support.

They either have:
- In-house customer support agents
- Or they outsource this to call centers

Both are expensive.

Solution:
A agent that take calls from customers to answer all their questions, inquiries, track orders, collect information, forward calls etc.

I've built this recently for dentist clinics to replace the front desk calls. Magic.

You can also build:
- Customer onboarding call agent
- Outbound Call Agent
- Appointment booker
- AI receptionist
