I've learned how to effectively manage an AI developer in @cursor_ai to build large features.

I want to share everything with you in 5 simple steps.

At the end, you can download all the files for free.

Let's get started!

👇 1️⃣ Create a Product Requirement Doc aka "PRD".

You need to create a PRD that lays out what you're trying to build.

There are great products like @clairevo's @chatprd. Worth every cent if you're creating a lot of PRDs.

You can also do a lightweight version of PRD creation inside Cursor by doing the following:

Create a rules file called create-prd.mdc and reference it in @cursor_ai Agent chat with gemini-2.5-pro.

I highly recommend gemini-2.5-pro in MAX mode if you've got the budget. I'm currently not using claude-3.7-sonnet because of it's high variability.

Start like this:
```
Use @ create-prd.mdc
Here's the feature ...
Reference these files to help you ...
```

Note, I added a space after `@` so X doesn't link to a profile.

In my last post below, I link to all the files for you to download for free.Image

It takes awhile to get used to how to program with @cursor_ai

Now I can knock out huge features in a couple hours max.

This is on a big codebase too - no hello world stuff here.

Here are a bunch of things I’ve learned

👇🏻 I start with o1 (keep thinking about upgrading to Pro but can’t justify the $200/mo yet) and explain all the things I’d like the feature to do.

A thread 🧵 ... Image 1/ I'll be launching something big in 2023 and I want my loyal community of supporters to be first in line.

Important NFT-related update to Apple's App Store Review Guidelines developer.apple.com/news/?id=xk8d7…

1/ “Apps may use in-app purchase to sell and sell services related to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), such as minting, listing, and transferring. Apps may allow users to view their own NFTs," 2/ "... provided that NFT ownership does not unlock features or functionality within the app. Apps may allow users to browse NFT collections owned by others,"

Why am I Punk now?

A 🧵 ... 1/ First of all, it's very important for me to be completely above board, so I will never acquire an NFT from a collection that 121G.fund owns or plans to own. That would benefit me personally, and that's not right.
