A practical tip for using AI to automatically generate Mermaid diagrams from codebase analysis. The approach involves using chat-based LLMs to create visual documentation that can be regularly updated as code changes, with suggestions for viewing the diagrams using IDE plugins or online browsers.
Generate a Mermaid diagram that visualizes the structure and relationships of the following codebase: [INSERT CODE OR CODEBASE DESCRIPTION] Requirements: - Use Mermaid diagram syntax - Focus on key components and their relationships - Include important classes, methods, and dependencies - Optimize for clarity and readability - Consider both high-level architecture and significant implementation details
Regenerate diagrams when significant code changes occur
Install Markdown Preview Mermaid Support plugin for IDE visualization
Don't limit diagram viewing to IDE plugins only
A user shares a workflow for using Deepseek-R1 to perform automated code reviews before committing changes, with subsequent refinement using Claude. The approach leverages Cursor's @Diff of Working State feature to analyze pending changes, simulating a senior engineer's code review perspective.
A developer created a web-based tool that automatically generates Cursor rules by crawling documentation websites to help LLMs better understand new or updated libraries. The tool specifically addresses the challenge of LLM knowledge cutoffs for newer technologies like Svelte 5 and Cloudflare Workflows, producing customized prompts that can be selectively applied in Cursor's rule system.
A developer shares their positive experience using Cursor and Composer Agent AI tools to optimize PHP class methods. The AI tools not only helped optimize the target method but also proactively identified similar optimization opportunities in related code, demonstrating intelligent code analysis capabilities beyond the immediate context.
Discussion about integrating Cursor AI with a custom ticket-to-pull request workflow. The post appears to focus on developer productivity tooling and automation of development workflows using AI assistance.
A developer shares their successful implementation of automated changelog management using Cursor AI through custom rules. The setup ensures consistent version tracking, changelog updates, and release management by integrating semantic versioning principles with AI-assisted workflow automation.
