Cursor Best Practices

This is a solid foundation for getting productive with Cursor without fumbling through features. It covers the essentials: using Plan Mode for complex work, managing context so you're not fighting the AI, and extending the agent with Rules and Skills. The test-driven workflow advice is smart, writing tests first then letting the agent iterate until they pass. What's useful here is the clear distinction between when to start fresh conversations versus letting the agent find its own context. The parallel agents workflow is interesting if you want to compare different approaches simultaneously. Think of this as the missing manual for actually working with Cursor day to day, not just installing it.
