Using prompts in Cursor

Copy your AI build prompts into Cursor and get your first module built with zero ramp-up time.

Recommended workflow

1

Generate your Prompt Pack

In your project, navigate to Prompt Studio → click Generate Prompts. Wait for the full pack (~60 seconds).
2

Open Cursor and create a new project folder

Create an empty folder for your SaaS and open it in Cursor. Run git init if desired.
3

Paste the Master Operating Prompt

In Cursor, open a new chat (⌘L). Paste the Master Operating Prompt from your Prompt Studio. This gives Cursor complete product, stack, and convention context. Press Enter.
4

Set up the project scaffold

Paste the Backend Setup prompt. Cursor generates your folder structure, package.json, config files, and boilerplate in one shot.
5

Build module by module

For each core module (Auth, Dashboard, etc.), copy its dedicated prompt from Core Modules and paste into a new Cursor chat. Each prompt is self-contained.
6

Use Recovery Prompts when stuck

If Cursor generates wrong code or loses context, paste a Recovery Prompt to reset it and give fresh instructions.

Tips for best results

  • Always start a new chat for each new module — prevents Cursor from confusing context between modules
  • Use Cursor's @codebase feature while inside a module prompt to let Cursor read your existing files
  • After each module, ask Cursor to 'review what you just built' to catch inconsistencies early
  • Set up your .cursorrules file early — ask Cursor to generate it from your stack description for consistent code style
  • Use the Technical Design section from your blueprint as supplementary context when prompting complex modules
The same workflow applies to Claude Code, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot Chat. Paste the Master Operating Prompt first, then module prompts one at a time.

Works with any AI coding tool

Your prompt pack is tool-agnostic. Confirmed working with: Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot Chat, Aider, and ChatGPT (GPT-4o).
