Last week we released a new feature in CopyCoder that lets you:
→ Turn a single screenshot into a web app using Cursor agent
→ Integrate a Supabase backend
→ Add a working user authentication
...using the prompts generated by CopyCoder.
Here's a full tutorial 🧵
1/
After uploading a screenshot, starts generating your prompts
You can use these prompts in the normal Cursor Composer mode to create the full frontend of your app
But now we have a new feature that is optimized for Cursor agent copycoder.ai

Cursor beginners usually struggle with when to use which AI mode in Cursor:
· AI Chat
· Composer
· Agent
Here's a full guide 🧵
First some background:
- There are 3 different AI modes in Cursor relevant for beginners: Chat, Composer, Agent (I won't talk about other Cursor AI features like Tab and CMD+K, since those are more for pros).
- AI Chat was released first, then Composer, then Agent
- Toggle the AI pane on the right to open Chat. Use CMD+I to open Composer. Toggle for Agent.

I've done 100s of tests with Cursor's agent feature at this point.
If you want the agent to complete an extensive workflow with a single command, the best way to do that is...
First, split up your workflow into several chunks.
For example for copycoder.ai our workflow is to build out the full frontend of an app and integrate it with a supabase backend (that includes user auth).
So we've split it into 3 files:
1 - Setup dependencies & build initial dashboard
2 - Build all other pages in app
3 - Setup supabase & auth

Prompt Chaining gives you higher quality responses — according to research papers.
I found a powerful tool to turn your prompts into prompt chains.
Here's how:
STEP 1:
Turn your prompt into several smaller prompts.
You can use ChatGPT and a simple prompt like this:
"Turn the steps in this prompt into their own standalone prompts. Make it easy to copy these prompts.
<prompt>
[paste your prompt]
</prompt>"

Prompt Chaining beats Stepwise prompting.
A recent study compared both methods head-to-head and concluded that prompt chaining results are better most of the time.

Anthropic (Claude) has a really neat tool on their website.
It's a prompt optimizer and can turn a simple prompt into an advanced prompt template.
I've tested it and it works incredibly well.
Here's how to use it (in 3 steps):
A couple of notes to start:
- This prompt optimizer differs from others optimizers in that it's great for creating prompt TEMPLATES, i.e. prompts that allow you to fill in more context
- To use it you'll need an API key, but you can get some free credits

I just discovered the official prompt library by Anthropic (Claude).
It's MASSIVE.
Here are my 7 favorite ones in there: 1. Time travel consultant
It basically acts like a LEVER that you can crank up and down.
I discovered it a week ago and use it all the time now.
[Short thread]
Whenever ChatGPT goes 'too far' or 'not far enough' with something, for example:
- tone too formal
- summarization too brief
- brainstorming not creative enough
Just do this: 1. Ask it to rate the output on a scale of 1-10 (define 1 and 10) 2. Then adjust to your desired number

You can learn a lot about prompt engineering from the ChatGPT system prompt.
It's written by the people that developed the model, so they must know what they're doing!
Here are the 5 things that stand out to me in ChatGPT's system prompt:
First off, if you don't know what a system prompt is, it's basically the initial instruction for the chatbot to guide its responses or actions.
It's hidden for the users and put there by the developers of the model to make sure that the model behaves in the right ways.

Claude is so much better than ChatGPT at copywriting.
I'm surprised there aren't more people jumping ship.
I did a head-to-head with 5 identical prompts.
Here are the results: 1/ Newsletter subject lines
Winner: Claude
Reason: ChatGPT's subject lines sound too clickbaity
