Introduction

Deeply integrate AI into your daily development workflow for improved efficiency and code quality

Core Focus

• Tasking, designing, coding for accuracy — Break down tasks, design solutions, write precise code
• AI-assisted development, human-focused innovation — Let AI assist, while humans drive innovation

In previous chapters, we established Cursor Rules to constrain AI-generated code boundaries and configured automated detection and fixes. With these safeguards in place, all the modes introduced below can produce high-quality code.

Chapter Goals

Through this chapter, you will learn:

• Understand the use cases for four Cursor usage modes
• Learn to choose the right mode based on task complexity
• Master the Draft-Final mode for complex task development
• Establish a standard workflow from requirements to deployment
