Cursor is a coding tool that uses AI to help you write code faster. This guide shares the best ways to use Cursor. You will learn how to plan tasks, manage your workspace, and review AI output carefully.
Start with a plan for complex tasks. Let the agent find the right context. Use rules for static settings and skills for dynamic actions. Always review AI code just like human code.
Workflows like test-driven development and running multiple agents at once can boost your results. These best practices help you get the most out of Cursor.
