One real use case
Open a repo and ask Cursor to explain the codebase, write a feature, and help fix an error without leaving the editor.
Why it made the directory
It keeps AI close to the code instead of forcing developers to copy and paste between a chatbot and an IDE.
Watch-outs
It is best for coding workflows, not general business operations or non-technical teams.
Good first prompt
Scan this repo, explain the architecture in plain English, and suggest the safest first improvement.
Prompt maker
Start with the tool's best first prompt, then make it specific to your actual job, audience, and output.
