I also run a YouTube channel, "Learn from Open Source": youtube.com/elie2222 

My guy reaction is this seems very involved and maybe heavy handed. When you’re coding now, you’re sure this speeds things up for AI-generated code?

It depends on the type of code but yes.

I won’t use it for one off patterns. But when I need to add a new server action it should look the exact same as all my other server actions. So this helps the ai a lot. Another way to do this is tag a sample file.

Initially I used cursor rules but now they’re moving away from that. So I broke up the rules into smaller files. I can reference them as needed. And the ai can request them when it needs to.

It’s also great documentation for humans. As cursor is my no1 employee I make sure it has all the context it needs to be effective

Meaning telling cursor create a file similar to this other file. But that has problems as a real file can include a lot of noise.
If you jump to the last 3 mins of the video you’ll see it in action. And that was a real use case for a feature I added the other day.
