- Plan Buildable Apps Turn vague software ideas into focused, buildable concepts with clear goals, constraints, and scope.
- Prepare Strong Context Create structured PRDs, sample data, and visual references that give AI coding tools the context they need.
- Prototype Before Coding Use free AI builders to explore mock-ups, compare directions, and choose a practical starting point before coding.
- Manage Cursor Effectively Guide Cursor with the right files, modes, checkpoints, and small requests to make steady progress without context overload.
- Fix Problems Systematically Debug issues by collecting screenshots, browser errors, relevant files, and clear diagnosis prompts before making changes.
