Chris Dunlop shared a repo with many great cursor recipes (prompts) for all development phases: spec, planning, testing, documentation...

Just edit them in the [PLACEHOLDER] places and request cursor to use them with @xxxxx.md as needed!

Don't keep reusing the same chat window for different tasks. If it is a different task just start a new tab (Cmd+T) or clean the current tab (Cmd+N) to start with an empty context and make things faster, cheaper and less likely to fail for the new task.

According to cursor doc "Generated messages use staged changes and repository git history. If you use conventions like Conventional Commits, messages follow the same pattern. ​"

Cursor can generate the commit message for your staged changes. Open the Git tab in the sidebar and click the sparkle icon.

To use it just click that small "+" icon that appears when hovering some message sin the cursor chat window.

Did you know you can insert a new prompt/message in the middle of the conversation to ask Cursor to do something different or add more information starting from that point?

[cursor_tips @cursor_tips]

That is useful to avoid Cursor having to rethink/redo the whole process for long tasks when most of it is correct but you just want to change / improve the last step of it.

In Cursor you can duplicate a conversation to explore different solutions in parallel. Just use the "Duplicate chat" option in the ... menu at any point in the conversation.

Select Git and then the commit or branch to reference for your request:

You can reference a git commit or branch in the Cursor editor when requesting some changes.

For example to request similar changes: "Create another component like the one created in this commit for this other use case"
