Do you mean that for a dead simple frontend feature I had to provide context beyond my entire codebase, proper cherry picked angular 19 docs, lengthy explanations about what I want ?
Yeah no thanks I'll just take that time and code the feature myself, while you're still pulling out your hairs on "crafting" the perfect pRoMpT
If you have setup a cursor rules or claude file, then you would only add file context and a prompt.
I have a cursor rule file which details my project structure, tools, commands to build, test, etc. Adds some do's and don'ts. This was quite lengthy to do initially on existing projects, cursor is able to assist with generating the first take which i manually reviewed and revised.
Since then I just tag a couple of files, explain what i want, and switch to another worktree and work on another feature while the first is being done.
Claude and Gemini both look at the file structure and match it, naming, etc.
Ok, fair enough. I will try that kind of setup with a side project I have and give it a serious try. I'll time myself to see if I made fast progress.
