Setup and Planning

  • Start from a Template:

    • Begin your project by cloning a template from GitHub or another source to provide a solid foundation.
    • e.g. On Cursor, you can use the Start from Repo feature.
  • Create a Comprehensive Plan:

    • Use an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT to create a detailed plan in markdown.
    • Ask it clarifying questions and have it critique its own plan, then regenerate until it's solid.
    • This plan becomes your instruction manual for the coding process. Save this plan in plan.md (or Claude.md if you run /init in Cursor) so the AI can reference it anytime.
  • Secure Your Secrets:

    • Always store API keys, tokens, and other sensitive data in environment files (.env).
    • Never hard-code them directly into your source code.
    • Add .env* and /secrets to .gitignore.
