The "Basic" vs "Senior" Cursor Workflow

✗ Basic Usage

  • • Typing "Make this work" into the chat
  • • Manually @-tagging every file one-by-one
  • • Blindly accepting "Apply" changes
  • • Dealing with "hallucinated" local variables
  • • No persistent rules for the AI model

✓ Senior Mastery

  • • Modular .cursorrules for architecture
  • • Using MCP to bridge DB schemas to AI
  • • Structured context curation (Folders vs Files)
  • • Iterative steering via Cursor Composer
  • • Automatic test generation based on diffs

Deep Dive into Cursor Mastery

The specific modules in our course that turn you into a Cursor power user.

01

Advanced Context Control

Stop @-tagging everything. Learn how to curate the exact file context needed for complex refactors without hitting token limits or confusing the model.

02

.cursorrules Architecture

Go beyond basic templates. Build a modular rules system that enforces your project architecture, naming conventions, and testing patterns automatically.

03

Composer Orchestration

Master the multi-file editing workflow. Learn how to steer Cursor through wide-reaching changes across your frontend, backend, and database migrations.

04

System Prompt Optimization

Configure your editor to think like a staff engineer. We share the specific system instructions that eliminate "lazy coding" and hallucinated APIs.

05

MCP Server Integration

Connect Cursor to your documentation, database schemas, and external APIs using Model Context Protocol (MCP) to give AI real-world vision.

06

The Senior Review Loop

Use Cursor to review its own PRs. Learn the "Reviewer" prompt pattern that catches security flaws and performance bottlenecks before you even commit.

Cursor Mastery FAQ

Most tutorials show you how to 'Chat' with code. We show you how to 'Engine' code. We focus on architectural judgment, context curation, and repeatable workflows that work on 50k+ line codebases, not just Todo apps.

Yes. We have dedicated sections on mastering Cursor Composer for multi-file generation and the 'steer-not-regenerate' philosophy that saves hours of thrashing.

If you're still copy-pasting code or hitting 'Regenerate' more than once per task, yes. The advanced .cursorrules and context strategies are designed for power users.
