A developer shares their positive experience using new .mdc cursor/rules files for improved code generation in Convex projects. The implementation demonstrates significant improvement in one-shot code generation compared to previous methods, reducing the need for multiple prompts and showing enhanced effectiveness over traditional documentation-based approaches.
Configure Cursor editor for Convex development by: 1. Create .cursor/rules directory 2. Add model-specific .mdc files: - anthropic_convex_rules.mdc for Anthropic models - openai_convex_rules.mdc for OpenAI models 3. Test code generation capabilities on a sample project Expected outcome: Improved one-shot code generation with reduced need for multiple prompts.
Implement separate .mdc rules files for different AI models (Anthropic and OpenAI)
Use dedicated evaluation frameworks to identify and address knowledge gaps in AI models
Don't limit yourself to using only documentation symbols for code generation
