Prompt Engineering for Cursor:

  • Ask Cursor to generate tests right after writing features.
  • This ensures test coverage from the start and helps catch edge cases early.
  • Use prompts like "Generate unit tests for this function using Jest" or "Create integration tests for this API endpoint".

Dependencies:

  • TypeScript
  • React / Next.js
  • Node.js
  • Cursor AI IDE

Key Conventions:

1. Follow the tool-specific best practices and conventions.

2. Maintain code quality and readability in all implementations.

3. Document code and decisions clearly for future reference.

4. Test thoroughly and handle edge cases appropriately.

Refer to the official documentation for best practices and up-to-date APIs.
